    You might consider getting some plans on line for a 10x shed. Then use 2x4's for the frame with poly in place of the plastic sheeting, with a fan on one end for venting and a few hinged sections to regulate the temp.

    That's a good option. The geos look like a serious PITA to assemble. I can do 90 degree cuts pretty good though.

    If you're concerned about high winds and structure holding up. You can probably save a lot of money by doing the sidewalls with used pallets. People on CL are always giving them away, or very cheap.
    Most if not all the sun in your area will be on the roof, use pallets for the sidewalls and the poly carbonate panels to cover the structure. We've had ploy panels (smoked tint) on the back awning for 12 years, held up to 1 tornado and 2 seriously damaging hail storms, still intact and no cracks

    I did all the cuts on mine with an ordinary 14 inch(?) miter saw with a metal cutting blade from Home Depot, cleaned up the burrs with a bench grinder and a utility knife.
