Whether building it yourself, or having it built for you... Use top grade deck screws for assembly. In areas around the country where temperature changes can have an effect, heat-cold = expansion contraction. Nails tend to loosen up, and can cause problems over time.

Any structure is an investment, and if you go that extra mile, seal all components from the ground up, end joints, walls and roof, it will pay dividends over time.

Been there, done that. And this includes decks, and many other projects that I built myself.

PS, to RLW's question. Absolutely. It was a basic shed kit from Lowe's, and I added studding, 16" on center, and a second floor for overhead storrage as well. I did use galvie roffing nails on the shingles.
