Building codes pretty much block this.
We can get you a 3 garage door steel structure:
Steel Factory Mfg S30x40x14 Metal Arch Agricultural Barn Storage Building Kit
They're fine boxes. They'll hold cards and shit. I use them for drafts/standard decks/random storage. I use these for Modern/EDH decks. I mean, not Lime Green all the time, but you know. They're nice.
I had absolute no experience with construction. Then I bought this kit http://www.amazon.com/2x4basics-90190-Shed-Barn-Style/dp/B000E43EA0/ref=pd_sim_lg_1?ie=UTF8&refRID=0EX3Z8DX1JDC2FJ43SVH and followed the instructions (which were really just pictures). I also built some saw horses. Anyway with that experience I was able to build a 14x14 building later on that summer with just a skil saw, drill, ladder, some clamps, hammer, large level. It was a big project, let me know if you want to know the exact details.
I did a bit of research on this last year (before ultimately deciding to just keep it in the garage!) and for a few months had a bike tent.
Worked fine but eventually toppled over one windy day.
My budget was only around £50, but I did consider one of these (which seem to be considered the best option).
Ultimately I decided against it, and kept in the garage instead (insurace policy was only £50 more a year to keep it on the driveway, so the cost of a shed for the bike wasn't really justified).
The next thing up seems to be a purpose made metal locker, but they run as £400+
Like I say though, the plastic sheds you can get seem to be best bang for buck. All I would say is though I feel like having a shed/plastic storage is almost advertising that theres something to steal in it.
I appreciate this isn't the most helpful post, but as noone else has posted yet it's at least something!
There are many many options for housing a salamander. Nobody knows has a better internet presence for keeping them then the folks at caudata.org as mentioned by u/ye_ol_chuckaboo below. They have a helpful forum where you can get info advice and answers to questions. they also have care-sheets. So i suggest you spend soem time looking there.
Some simple ideas would start with something like:
go get a 40 gallon aquarium or larger. or 3 - 4 foot plastic storage box or like this
whatever you use it will need a lid to keep things out and the salamander inside but it must allow air to pass through
the main thing here is that it doesnt need to be more than 15 inches tall but should have as much surface area (footprint) as possible. A good minimum is about 4 - 4.5 square feet. or anything at or above the "40 gallon size " on the standard US tank sizes chart here
buy some organic untreated (chemical free, fertilizer free) topsoil from a garden store.
plan to use at least 6 - 8 inches of soil at the bottom
​
order several cork bark hides like this logs or half logs will be good to partially bury and to keep on the surface so the animal can choose a hide.
​
get a *large* smooth sided glass ceramic water bowl like this or like this
​
use only smooth objects stones, smooth glass ceramic, plastic. no gravel no sharp rocks no sharp wood.
Moss and plants can help add humidity and attractiveness.
a water mister bottle is helpful to have around
​
feel free to ask any specific questions
I’m pretty sure it’s this

I did just that for a GPU rig, though it was fairly gerryrigged. My basic shopping list:
Assemble the shed and install the shelf, cut two holes in the front doors at the shelf level for the gable vents and one big hole in the back at shelf level for the window fan, and install/wedge items in holes accordingly. Cutting the holes was a pain, I thought a Dremel would work well but it's slow and loud as hell so I ended up using a drywall saw that worked surprisingly well. I ran a cord for a power strip out the back under the fans.
Mine sits at the back of a covered patio that's about 8-10 feet deep, so it's not directly exposed to rain or any significant elements. You might be able to make it work if you've got some overhang and you can put the back of the cabinet up close to a wall where water won't hit the fans too much. I also glued some dust filter material to the inside of the gable vents to help filter dust out, and I blow the setup out every now and then.
No, no it isn't. You can buy fucking buildings on Amazon.

I have this Lifefime 12x8 one:
https://www.amazon.com/Lifetime-60079-15x8-Dual-Entry/dp/B00CTVQ6UG/ref=sr_1_2?crid=2GPUS33FAHPGQ&keywords=lifetime+shed+8x15&qid=1557374977&s=gateway&sprefix=Shed+8%2Caps%2C162&sr=8-2
Absolutely love it. Got it for $1500 a while back, and having the two doors has been very useful.
Never leaks, and has the flooring, so never wet from rain, since water would flow under it. Also had concrete slab poured for it to be level - just contacted local companies to get quotes.
Rather than hang a lot on the walls, since they aren’t as load-bearing as a wood shed, I have connected plastic shelving from menards. Works well. Although, I did find a how-to on YouTube to build a complete stud/shelving system from within, but had already got the shelving.
Highly recommend the Lifetime ones; they seem to have more options than Suncast.
Yo. There are some cheaper options, too.

We just got this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00BK3TLNS. Super easy to put together and it has a place to lock it.
I bought one of these. I caught it on sale. Better and easier than a cover. I keep it locked, just to discourage animals and nosy neighbors.
