Plastic Sheds

More Plastic Sheds info

Plastic sheds offer a number of advantages, including durability, easy maintenance, cost-effectiveness and longevity – even a relatively cheap plastic shed can provide many years of service, withstanding the rigours of nature. The plastic sheds for sale here offer a range of options to suit various needs. Whether you’re looking for a simple plastic storage shed to fulfil the most practical of purposes, or a plastic garden shed that adds a more aesthetic touch to your outdoor space, there’s plenty to explore among the selection here.

Are plastic sheds any good?

This is a common question. With sheds available in a range of materials, wood is often seen as the traditional choice, while metal implies sturdiness – so people often wonder if plastic is up to the job. The answer is yes – the plastic option offers a range of advantages of its own. A plastic storage shed can be a budget-friendly choice, but there are also plastic options that can rival sheds in other materials for aesthetics and security. For example, plastic garden sheds can feature dual-wall high-density polyethylene panels and lockable heavy-duty steel-reinforced doors, along with UV-protected construction to keep maintenance low.

Do plastic sheds get condensation?

You can avoid condensation problems with a plastic shed by following a few basic rules. For example, take care during construction to make sure everything is fitted together correctly and robustly, guarding against any water ingress – don’t forget you can use our professional installation service if you need to. Also ensure the necessary ventilation is in place and used correctly according to the design of the shed. This will vary depending on your choice – larger plastic sheds, for example, have windows and skylights. Opening these every day will help keep moisture levels down, as will the installation of vents – read more on this in our guide to ventilating your shed. The use of a damp-proof membrane to cover the shed base can also be effective in keeping condensation to a minimum.

How can I lay a plastic shed base?

The sturdier your base, the more life and utility you’ll get from your plastic shed. It’s important to make sure the surface is even to achieve stability and ensure all the component parts operate properly. Many people find poured concrete or paving slab bases are especially suited to plastic storage shed construction, while others choose to site their shed on a timber base. To help you decide which base is best for your plastic shed – and to find out how to build it – read our guide to building a shed base.
