Welcome to the site  :)

What sort of size on the ground do you want, and what will it be used for?  The metal sheds suffer dreadfully from condensation and aren't as secure as you might hope they would be.
I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days all attack me at once...

I inherited a metal shed that was used as the allotment site's tool store.
Without exaggeration you could pop it open with a tin opener.
Luckily  my site hasn't suffered much from n'eer -do-wells.
Possibly the road workers huts were made from thicker material but essentially anyone determined can get into your shed - old / cheap tools on the plot is my advice. Many don't lock their sheds so that if they get robbed at least the door remains undamaged.
Condensation is a well known problem with metal sheds.
I'd just consider the shed on the plot to be something that keeps the rain off you and (possilby) the rain off you old/cheap tools.
I had two years use out of a shed made from pallets - did the job...

Pip pip,
Balders
