I'm considering replacing my rusting steel shed with a vinyl or
vinyl-covered steel shed.  I did a WWW search and came up with the Vinyl
Dallas shed and got only two hits for sheds the size I need (10x6):

I need some references before buying an item like this.
Has anyone ever owned one of these?  What's your experience with putting
ti together, how does it hold up under snow and regular wear, etc.
Thanks.

I have an Arrow metal shed.  It is a 10x14, model Dakota.  I am now planning
on replacing it with a wood framed shed.  I am not familiar with the linked
sheds you posted, but I do know that I will never again buy a metal shed.
With any significant wind, the shed sounds like a thunderstorm all by
itself.  I installed a metal shed for my mother 10 years ago, and it is
still there today.  It does not make a sound.  But my new metal shed must
have had the metal thickness cut down.  It wrinkles so easily when
installing, then makes so much noise in wind.  Also, the seams on the roof
were, by design, to be covered with a metal foil tape.  Not a good idea.

This year I am putting in a patio.  Next year, new (wooden) shed time.
