I use shipping containers with a built over truck port between them. Gives lots of space, light and airy in summer and are not cold and dark in winter.
The shipping containers are far more secure to from thieves. It not easy trying to cut throuhg Corten steel are pick a lock box on them compared to a regular shed where thieves seem to know all the tricks of removing complete panels to gain access.
Obviously not as secure if you don't put things away back in the containers when finished for the day.

2 containers, delivered locally $1800 and $800) and large truck port delivered ($1600) with myself building it cost around $3200 total to date but I laid a gravel floor/driveway.
Beauty of it is I could double story or rearrange the containers later being modular boxes.
