If the question is whether to use 4x4s or 4x6s, it would depend on how large your shed will be. Also remember that you can't just build it like a box, it must be anchored. You have to worry about strong winds blowing your shed down the street.

Subject: [DIY] 4X4 as frame?
Is there any problem with making a frame for an 8ft square shed out of 4X4X8s? It would give me exactly the measurements I want. I would use 2X4s as the joists in the middle. What length and width of screw would one use to nail them together without splitting?
I thought about screwing together two 2X6s but I'd still be .5 inch short. I don't have a lot of carpentry skills to work with here and would rather not have to do a bunch of extra cutting if I can get what I need from 4X4s. The shed will be on blocks if that makes any difference.
Thanks,
Melissa
