I am building a real cheap shed to store my 2 motorcycles for the winter in the backyard of my rented house. It will be demolished come spring. I have it all framed right now but can't figure out the cheapest way to side/roof it.

It is 8'x8' square, roof starts at 6' and slants to 4'. slanted roof very similar to pic. I dont yet have a floor, i was thinking framing every 2 feet and putting 3/4'' OSB as floor. perhaps 5/8? Same with the roof (which is currently framed at 2 feet)

For siding originally was going with 7/16 OSB.. (20$ a sheet) but i am highly contemplating stretch wrap. Thoughts? Would something like 80guage stretch wrap, wrapped all around a ton of times work? the shed is against the house on the back, and a tall fence on one side, not a very windy location

Thoughts?

I mistook the picture to be a shipping container with white wooden trimming...
I kinda liked it. I wonder how much a 10' shipping container would cost. Too much I imagine.

Grab a shit load of pallets ( toxic ones ) and a router to tounge and groove them . Cheap farm style walls that won't rot so bad.

Offcuts of weatherboard for siding and plastic corrugate roofing.

If you're not worried too much about looks you could use plastic bottles as shingles.

You could spray paint them black or brown or something

pretty sure green is bad if he plans on having plants in there ever. Plants reflect green and absorb red and blue light.

I live in a civilised country where bottles are recycled.

>it will be demolished come spring.

Sounds like a waste of time, materials and money. Why temporary?

Just stretch wrap the bikes!
When I had no storage I stuk my bike in a vacuum bag over the winter.
