I'm looking to purchase a new garden shed as my wooden one is past it.

I was thinking of buying a plastic one as a replacement.

Does anyone have a plastic shed, & if so what are your thoughts on them ?


I bought a Keter 4ft x 6ft one about 6 years ago as an overflow shed ,
seems the nearest is now called the Factor 4 x 6
http://www.keter.com/products/factor-46
and has some steel strengthening which my model (Apex?) did not have.
Assemby was easy.
Build quality seems reasonable and it has survived being moved three
times with both partial dismantling and moving it whole methods being
used. You do need a firm foundation as the plastic floor is thin and
needs firm support everywheren. the shed will lean over eventually
if there is a weakness in support.
As bought there is limited capacity for shelfs etc and heavy items can
cause problems. I solved this with some wooden framing inside that
took loads straight to the floor which in my case is a foundation of
plastic pallets so that too is rot proof.
The present model may not need this.
When I bought it was on offer , the price now for one may be a bit
expensive but it doesn't have too be painted,though when new it did
look a bit too much like a Portaloo so toned it down with some green
fence paint, the trees it lives under have finished the job nicely
since and it blends in well.
I have looked at some other plastic sheds out of curiosity in DIY
places and some do seem very flimsy.
