The shed I built 18 months ago just collapsed on itself

I’m honestly so fed up right now. My shed in the backyard out in Phoenix, AZ finally gave way after all that crazy monsoon rain we had last month. The wood was just cheap stuff from the local hardware store, and I guess I didn't seal it well enough. Has anyone else had a storage shed just fall apart on them?

Yeah I used to skip the sealing step too. Not anymore after this.

Yeah I had a cheap ladder fold up on me once, same kind of shortcut regret right there.

Pressure treated lumber and good primer would've saved you that headache, I've seen it happen here in Texas too.
