I’m thinking on buying a backyard storage shed but not sure if I should go for vinyl or wood shed. Which one of this is more suitable for Houston? My HOA says I can choose either one but I’m not sure on the pro and cons of the twos except the $$$ different. I want to stor unused furniture but worried the moist and heat will damaged the furniture. Adding A/C or heater is not possible as the outside outlet is at the other end of the house and the mowing factor ………… Please advise.
I live in Houston and I have a Rubbermaid vinyl shed that is doing pretty well for me. I store gardening tools and my lawnmower in it. It does get buggy with spiders etc. BTW, it made it through IKE in perfect shape.

I’m originally from Houston and you’re right about the humidity. Humidity is only good for your skin and your flowers. I would go for the vinyl. The wood would eventually rot because of such much humidity. I don’t know if vinyl or wood either one would protect the furniture though just because the humidity would probably build up over the years and do damage to it. Just be sure to check on the furniture now and then to make sure it’s not molding from the humidity. You can easily wipe it off. You might have to do that through the years. Since you have to have some kind of storage though [ everybody needs extra storage] I’d still go with the vinyl.They have some really cute storage buildings now. You could plant some flowers around it and put some stepping stones to it from your house. You could make it look like a tiny house. That would be so cute. It would make your back yard look cuter too.
