What's the best bet for secure onsite storage while we begin to work on our lot?
I've looked at local hardware store inventories, but no one seems to carry storage sheds of a decent size. I see that the common metal ones are considered flimsy and insecure. Unlike the mainland, I don't see the usual assortment of wood sheds offered "delivered and built on site".
Think it's worth it to fork out for a shipping container, or should I just slap something together with concrete footers, 4x4 posts, joists, and osb? How secure is secure enough? Are most thefts crimes of opportunity or are people actually willing to kick in a door or cut a padlock? Just asking because I've had so many people warn me about it...
