We have analyzed some of them and this is what we have found when looking for outdoor sheds.
Amazon
Where you will find the most variety and brands in garden sheds is, without a doubt, in this store.
As for prices, we can find some cheaper than in other stores, but You have to be careful about the size as well as the material they are made of.

Ikea
At Ikea we have tried to search for garden sheds but the truth is that the results we have obtained are for furniture, and there has not been any type of shed.
That doesn't mean they don't have; It is possible that in the stores, under a catalog, they do have some brands available, but what is online there is no such possibility.
Obramat
Something similar happens to us in the case of Obramat, where we can find the materials to make a shed, as well as other things. But as such, sheds are not available, at least online.
Another thing is that you go to the store and there they do have them available or they have a catalog to order one.
