Plastic Sheds

What are the benefits of buying plastic garden sheds?

Plastic garden sheds are becoming increasingly popular. We have a number of innovatively designed plastic sheds for sale which would be a talking point in any garden. Listed below are some of the main benefits of buying plastic garden sheds:

Easy to assemble

One of the primary advantages of plastic garden sheds is their ease of assembly. These sheds do not require specialist tools or related experience, making them a time and cost-effective choice. Many of the options we sell can be simply snapped together, and due to the lightweight nature of the material, they require little manpower to install. This means you and a friend can have your shed up and ready in no time.

Low maintenance

Plastic sheds require very minimal maintenance. They are easy to clean with low-cost household cleaning supplies and are not prone to rust or rot. Unlike wooden sheds, plastic sheds do not need to be repainted or treated to withstand extreme weather conditions. This makes them a long-lasting storage solution for your garden.

Cost-effective

The price of plastic sheds is often less than that of metal sheds or wooden sheds, making them an affordable choice for many homeowners. Despite their lower cost, they offer high quality and durability, ensuring you get value for your money.

Portability

Thanks to their lighter weight, plastic sheds can easily be moved from one location to another. This feature allows homeowners to relocate their shed to their new home when they move or alter their garden layout with ease.

Weather-resistance

Plastic sheds are highly resilient to various forms of weather, including rain, snow, heat, and cold. They are designed to be weather resistant, providing a safe and dry space for your garden tools, outdoor toys, and other items. However, it's advisable to ensure that they are anchored down firmly as their lighter weight can make them vulnerable to movement in storms and gale-force winds.

Versatility

They can be used to store plant food and fertiliser during the growing season, organise garden tools, keep your garden clutter-free, and much more. With different sizes available, you can find the perfect plastic shed for your needs, whether you have a large garden or small spaces.

Longevity

Plastic sheds have an extended lifespan, especially those well-maintained. The plastic material is impermeable, keeping out rain, snow, and ice, and is immune to rust, mould, and corrosion. With proper care, barring any major incidents, your storage shed should only experience general deterioration over a long period.

Additional Features

Many plastic sheds offer additional features such as drillable walls for easy addition of shelving and hooks, fire-retardant materials, and UV protection to prevent fading or discolouration in the sun. Some models also offer optional extras like a guttering system for improved drainage, ramped entrances for easy access, reinforced floors or a reinforced roof for extra strength, and windows and vents for improved ventilation.

Remember, when choosing a storage shed, consider your needs and the features that are most important to you. Whether you're looking for a large plastic shed to store your garden tools or a small plastic storage shed for your outdoor toys, there's a perfect option out there for you.
