Is It Better To Buy A Shed At Home Depot Or Lowe’s?
By DARBY WAGLER
If you’re facing a dilemma over buying a shed from Home Depot or Lowe’s, let us help you consider the options available at both retailers and which one has the better deals.
Home Depot’s best-seller is a 7-by-7-foot resin shed made by Rubbermaid that costs $1,099. However, out of more than 1,600 reviews, the unit received a meager 3.6-star rating.
While only 57% of buyers said they would recommend the resin shed made by Rubbermaid, others stated it was easy to build and stayed up in harsh weather.
Home Depot also offers a 7-by-7-foot resin shed by Suncast for $1,099. It comes with a 10-year limited warranty and is more favorably reviewed (4.3 stars, with over 1,900 reviews).
Lowe’s sells the exact same Suncast shed for $100 less at $999. Lowe’s customers rated it slightly lower (3.8), the chief complaints being cheap material and poor customer service.
Lowe’s best-selling option is a 10-by-8-foot shed produced by Arrow for $529; it’s made from galvanized steel and includes a 12-year limited warranty.
The shed has 3.4 stars, with some reviewers complimenting its affordability and sturdiness, while others complained that it was difficult to assemble and its tendency to collapse.
