Any idea where the best place to get one? Reason I say metal is because I can break it down easy for moving, and I can not afford tuff sheds and plastic ones.

In my experience "decent metal shed" is a Class 1 oxymoron. Good luck with the search.
The ones at Home Depot have a 12year warranty.
We use to look at sheds for their ease of use. Then one day the wife says. "This is a waste of time and money, looking at sheds"
Really i reply
Yes, we are wasting money because if we move the sheds don't go with us.
You have an idea?
She says Lets buy a single axle trailer. This way if we have to bug out quickie like, hook it up and go.
So now we have a 5 x 8 trailer among other things in hooterville.
Got to love NO HOA, Covenants!
Food for thought. Especially since a "decent" metal or wooden shed is an easy $1K
what jim said
or build one to be torn down and flat packaged
What Jim said... absolute truth.
I have nothing to pull a trailer with. I am trying to clean out my garage so I can have my man cave. I really need at least a 10x14.
Think I could build a decent wood one for less than $500? The only thing I wouldn't know how to do is the roof trusses. But then that would negate the ability to break down and move it. I don't want to live here much longer
Check code, up in weld cty anything over 120 sq. ft. requires a permit. If you do wood frame, or any frame make sure there is adequate ventilation under the shed. If not moisture (yes its not a lot in CO) will rot your shed from the bottom. We have our wood frame ones one a skid style frame this gave us 3-4" of ground clearance.
Only thing I can say is don't wear sandals while building a metal shed.
Very doubtful that you could build a shed for 500, Unless you go to a wood mill and make a deal on some scrap or fresh cut timber. I used to get some good deals from cedar mills. You would have to let the wood cure and then even some of it will warp. But it might be worth a try.

I did one metal shed...yuck! I sure wouldn't want to tear it down.
I had a Rubbermaid one at my old house on a concrete slab, tore it down, and reassembled it at my new house on a concrete slab. It has worked with no problems or leaks, and it is easy to tear down and reassemble. It is not real big but works well.

I would love one of those. I just can't afford one.
120sqft in lakewood, no permit. No you can't build 4 of them and attach them either.
Build it, if you move, have it hauled by a rollback wrecker to the new location.
picked this up for a friend last summer, his wife got it dirt cheap from Lowes - closeout. Check around

When it comes to metal storage buildings, Morgan Buildings can't be beat.
I have owned them for twenty years. I had two when I lived down on the gulf coast of Texas. They went through several hurricanes with no problem. My ex wife got them in the divorce so I needed new ones when I moved to Colorado. I ended up having to buy them from some place in New Mexico (or was it Arizona?) and had them delivered to Colorado. The two I have now have been in my back yard for 13 years and are just as nice today as the day they were new.
