Plastic Shed Now Means Premium Shed

Plastic sheds used to be viewed as the poor relations of wooden and metal sheds. This is no longer the case.

Whether it comes to utilising the latest technology or sporting an eye-catching, contemporary design, plastic sheds now lead the way.

Plastic Sheds Boast Many Benefits

Combine this with plastic’s relatively low cost, ease of assembly and maintenance, and you’ve got the makings of an unbeatable garden storage shed. And if you’re concerned about the impact of plastic on the environment, you’ll be pleased to know that many of our plastic sheds are built using fully-recyclable materials.

Furthermore, when you see the latest plastic sheds, you probably won’t recognise them as plastic at all.

The Advantages of Plastic Sheds 

Premium Panel Technology

With features such as UV protection to prevent fading and weather resistance to prevent splitting and cracking, plastic is now a robust material capable of lasting decades.

Take a look at this image from Palram Sheds demonstrating that their Voyager panels can even take a beating without breaking. Now, that's tough.

7x11 Keter Newton Plastic Garden Shed

Technically advanced, this revolutionary Keter shed is built from wood plastic composite, so has the charming appearance of a traditional wooden shed, but with plastic’s durability and ease of maintenance.

The walls are completely safe to drill, so it’s easy to install shelving. The roof is reinforced by a solid steel bar and snow-load tested to 150kg/ m2.

Backed by a phenomenal lifetime guarantee, this plastic shed also includes heavy-duty flooring, a full-length skylight, perspex-glazed double doors and a stainless-steel locking system.

11x11 Lifetime Heavy Duty Plastic Shed

Constructed from high-density polyethylene panels, with heavy-duty, powder-coated steel reinforcements, this plastic garden shed is robust, durable and unrecognisable from inferior versions of plastic sheds.

The panels are UV-protected, so will never fade, leaving you free to enjoy their attractive appearance for years to come.

The sturdy floor and roof are built from high-density polyethylene too, with the latter including 2 skylights.

Also featuring 2 shatterproof polycarbonate windows and supplied with a 10-year guarantee, this is a very impressive garden shed indeed.

Low Maintenance

Caring for a wooden shed requires treaments, painting, checking for rot, fixing down felting (again!), and keeping an eye out for warping.

Plastic sheds, in comparison, are amazingly low maintenance. Wipe down with a cloth if it gets splashed with mud or a spot of moss begins to take hold. That's it. 

With the UV protection mentioned before, the panels of today's plastic sheds will keep their colour so won't need painting. Most have 10 year guarantees and, unlike the natural warping of wood, stay solid and strong for decades.

 

Attractive Appearance

Think of plastic garden furniture and you may still imagine cheap white or dark green, uninspiring, unattractive pieces. Well, the world of plastic shed design has come along much further. Nowadays, you might not even realise a garden shed is plastic until you get up close to it.

With plastic sheds that look like wooden sheds, plastic sheds oozing traditional charm and plastic sheds with cutting edge modern design, no matter what your taste, there is a plastic shed to appeal to you and suit your garden design.

Choice of Colours

Wooden sheds require painting to acheve a variance in colour. Plastic sheds, on the other hand, come in a ready-made choice of colours. The most popular are dark green, grey, anthracite, amber, cream and the more traditional brown.

The unique skylight panels transmit an abundance of natural light but are opaque on the exterior, maintaining its handsome appearance.

Other notable features include an anti-slip floor, lockable double doors, 2 air vents and a 10 year guarantee. 

Easy to Assemble

Plastic sheds have long been acknowledged as the easiest sheds to assemble. Plastic is naturally lighter than wood or metal making it easier to handle. With pre-drilled holes and plastic parts that slot together, building a plastic shed is largely a process of bolting key parts together.
 
Being easier to build also means plastic sheds are quicker to build.
 
Do be aware that, though incredibly robust, because of the lightweight nature of plastic sheds, you should always anchor them to a solid surface to prevent them being toppled by the wind.
