Cheap Storage Sheds in Colorado: Affordable Sheds for Sale in Denver & Colorado Springs

Search "cheap storage sheds Colorado" and you get two kinds of results: big-box kits that look inexpensive until the first hailstorm, and custom builders quoting five figures. There is a middle option, and it is what most of our Denver and Colorado Springs customers actually buy — our Economy line, starting at $2,603 delivered, built with the exact same siding, roofing, paint, and flooring as our premium sheds.

Cheap sheds for sale in Denver and Colorado Springs: 2026 prices

These are real starting prices from our 2026 price guide, delivered free within 150 miles of Penrose.

Why our "cheap" shed is not a cheap shed

The reason a box-store kit costs less up front is that it is made of thinner material: OSB or plastic panels, stapled trim, a 3-tab roof with a short life, and a floor that swells the first spring runoff. Our Economy buildings are framed in a real shop by real builders, on a pressure-treated 4x4 skid system painted to match, and every one of them carries the same finish package we put on our flagship sheds:

• 50-year LP SmartSide siding — engineered wood, hail and moisture resistant
• 30-year shingles or 40-year metal roofing
• 15-year A-100 exterior paint
• 50-year water resistant flooring
• Pressure treated 4x4 skid system, painted to match
• Free delivery within 150 miles of Penrose, set fully assembled

Economy vs. premium sheds: the real differences

This is the question we get most from budget shoppers, so here it is plainly. Materials are the same. Framing, wall height, and structural ratings are where the money goes.

What that means in your backyard

• Headroom. At 6'2" walls, an Economy shed is comfortable for storage and shelving but tight if you want to stand at a workbench along a sidewall. Premium sheds at 7'4" feel like a room.
• Wall strength for hanging loads. Studs 16 inches on center give you more anchor points for heavy shelving, bike lifts, and pegboard walls.
• High-wind and high-elevation sites. On exposed Front Range lots and mountain properties, the 110 MPH rating, hurricane ties, and 45 lb snow load of the premium line are worth the upgrade.
• Everyday storage on a normal city lot. In most Denver and Colorado Springs backyards, an Economy shed does the job for years.

If your problem is not floor space but overhead room, the Economy Hi-Wall Barn is our best value in Colorado. The gambrel roofline gives you a taller interior peak and usable loft storage for a fraction of what a full barn costs — $3,640 for an 8x8, $4,700 for a 10x12, $5,744 for a 10x16, and $6,889 for a 12x16.

It is the shed we recommend for ATVs, feed and tack, tall ladders, and anyone who plans to store things overhead instead of only along the walls.

When to spend more: our premium sheds

If you are going to spend time inside the building — a workshop, a home office, a she-shed, a hobby space — put the money into the premium line. Two examples:

Quaker Shed

The offset gambrel-style roofline creates a covered entry and a classic barn profile. With 7'4" walls, a double top plate, and 16-inch stud spacing, it handles heavy wall storage and looks at home at the front of a property.

Studio Shed

Our modern option: a slanted roof, tall walls, and large windows. This is the building people finish out as an office or studio, which is exactly why it belongs in the premium framing category.

How to buy a cheap shed without regretting it

• Buy the size you will need in three years, not the size that fits today's pile. Going up one size costs far less than replacing the building.
• Confirm setbacks and HOA rules first. Most Front Range cities exempt small on-grade sheds from a permit, but placement rules still apply. See our Colorado shed permit guide.
• Prep a level base. A gravel pad keeps the skids dry and the doors square — see shed site preparation.
• Compare the finish package, not the sticker. Ask any competitor about siding life, roof rating, paint warranty, and floor material before comparing prices.
• Use the monthly number if that helps. Rent-to-own has no credit check and starts around $127/mo, and traditional financing is available too.
