    I am looking at buying one of them cheap metal sheds (only shed in my budget right now)

    Something like these sheds

    I have heard that they are flimsy and can suffer badly with condensation issues.

    Is it possible to reinforce them?

    Can i put anchor bolts into the concrete base when it is being poured to help secure it?

    Could i use some anti condensation paint or insulation to prevent condensation forming?

    I have one from shedmaster for 4 years now. I don't have any problem with it other than it is indeed flimsy, but for the cost, I accept that.

    There is no condensation problem as I built it on a raised wood base where air can pass through. I put a layer of ground membrane under the floor.
