9 Affordable Amazon Sheds That Look Expensive

When you need extra storage space or want to protect your tools from the elements, a shed can be a great alternative to an already crowded garage or basement. If you're considering ways to organize equipment or create a dedicated workspace, you may be wondering what kind of shed is best for your backyard. Building a large custom design often comes with complex permitting requirements, long lead times, and a significant financial investment. Because experts are divided on whether a backyard shed will increase your resale value, and permanent shed types may be considered accessory dwellings that can drastically impact your tax bill, constructing a shed from scratch isn't always an ideal approach. 

Instead of spending thousands on a custom build, consider purchasing one of these affordable Amazon sheds that look expensive but cost under $600 and can be assembled in a matter of hours. Before making your selection, think carefully about how you want to use and make the most of your shed. Do you need a large space to store a riding mower, or will a smaller design work for holding a few watering cans and bags of potting soil? 

In addition to determining the right size, you should also think about the best location. Ideally, you should set up your prefabricated shed on a level foundation made of wood, gravel, or concrete slab. Although many municipalities don't require permits for small detached buildings, check with your local zoning department about any building codes or setback requirements that may apply to your project.

The Keter Manor 4x6 Resin Outdoor Storage Shed Kit has three design elements that make it look way more expensive than its $375 price tag suggests. The grey exterior and white trim have a wood-like texture made of polypropylene resin that doesn't peel or rot. A framed window provides natural light and air ventilation. And its lockable black door hinges add a charming, farmhouse-style vibe. Along with its attractive appearance, the 132-cubic-foot shed has a steel reinforced roof and heavy-duty interior flooring. Over 2,000 Amazon customers have given the shed a five-star rating. 

If you're looking for a shed that's super sleek, reviewers say the LEMBERI 6x8 Foot Outdoor Storage Shed fits the bill.

A sloped black roof and frame contrasts with wood-brown exterior walls. Lockable double doors open to reveal a farmhouse-style interior door detail, along with 280 cubic feet of space. Over 200 Amazon customers have given the shed a five-star rating, reporting that it provides plenty of room to store lawn care equipment, outdoor grills, and kids' toys.

Sometimes good things come in small packages, and hundreds of reviewers say that's the case with the Suncast Horizontal Shed.

The shed's design is also extremely compact and easy to assemble, providing 34 cubic feet of storage that's ideal for garden tools.

An added bonus? Its lockable plastic handles also keep contents safe from prying raccoons and other curious critters.

The Gizoon Outdoor Storage Cabinet is constructed of fir wood that gives it a rustic look that reviewers call "fantastic." The $235 shed has large double doors with reinforced metal hinges and magnetic clasps that help keep them shut securely. Its adjustable feet can help you keep the shed level on uneven ground, which is a great feature if you're on a really tight budget and can't DIY a simple shed foundation. Users appreciate the preassembled panels but say that it still takes two people a couple of hours to put this affordable wooden shed together. 

Available in neutral beige and brown colors, the Rubbermaid Vertical Resin Outdoor Storage Shed looks expensive thanks to the metal handle accents and slim profile that complements any garden.

Hundreds have given the $600 shed a five-star rating. A few suggest the addition of Rubbermaid shed accessory pegboards, utility hooks, and even motion-activated solar lights for increased utility.

Reviewers say the MCombo Outdoor Wood Storage Cabinet is perfect for storing pool chemicals, car washing supplies, towels, and other items that are nice to have nearby when you're out on the patio.

Users say the waterproof design is extremely spacious inside. The overall size and raised feet make this shed ideal even in small spaces or on uneven ground.

You'd be forgiven if you mistook the ZZM HDPE Outdoor Storage Shed for a fine piece of furniture. Technically a rust-proof patio storage cabinet featuring an interior shelf, locks, and reinforced doors, this $150 tiny shed provides a "luxury feel," according to reviewers. The shed's 60-gallon capacity is capable of storing pool toys, towels, patio pillows, and small garden tools. Made of colorfast resin, the shed is available in classic white and rich coffee brown. Both colors feature uniquely patterned doors that provide an elegant look.

Although it's one of the higher-priced options on our list of affordable Amazon sheds, the Keter 4x6 Graphite Outdoor Storage Tool Shed is definitely one of the more elegant buildings you can install. A dual-toned finish in a rich graphite-grey color adds an understated elegance against a variety of different plants and flowers.

The shuttered doors and vintage metal handles that contrast against the rich black finish of the MCombo Outdoor Wooden Storage Cabinet make this $240 shed the most sophisticated-looking one on our list.

But for the price, the majority of users have given this shed four- and five-star ratings, calling it spacious and beautiful.
