Anyone who has a garden of any variety requires a garden shed, even if the entire garden is covered in concrete slabs. There are some things, such as patio furniture that aren’t appropriate to store in the house. Do you really want to be eating Christmas dinner on a lawn chair because your dining room doubles as a shed? Plastic sheds are the solution to your outdoor storage needs. Leaving the garden furniture exposed to the elements is just as bad as storing it in the dining room.
Inexpensive
A plastic garden shed is a lot cheaper than its wooden and metal counterparts. It costs a lot more to replace your garden furniture if you’ve left it out all winter than it does to buy a plastic shed.
Low Maintenance
Plastic garden sheds don’t require any maintenance. They can be washed with regular garden furniture soap if you are that way inclined, or not washed at all. Unlike wooden sheds, they don’t require painting or felting to prolong the life of the shed and keep the contents safe from the elements.
Durable
Despite being lighter than their wooden counterparts, plastic garden sheds are more durable, even with absolutely no maintenance. Once it is assembled, it can be forgotten about.
Easy Assembly
Metal sheds are difficult to assemble and a wooden shed may even require hiring someone who knows what they’re doing to put it together. Plastic sheds are simple to assemble and much less time consuming. For most plastic sheds, you won’t even need specialised tools. Unless you have no tools in your house, you probably won’t need to buy any to put it together. It really can be a case of putting it up in a day and forgetting about it.
Style
Plastic garden sheds can’t be customised in the same way as their wooden counterparts. That means they come in a huge range of styles, sizes and colours to suit every garden.
Portable
Plastic sheds are much easier to move than wooden or metal sheds. Not only can you move them around the garden with ease, they’re easy to bring with you should you move house. That doesn’t mean you can lift it over the fence and put it into a moving van. Some may need to be disassembled or partially disassembled first. If you are lifting it over the fence and putting it onto a moving van, be sure to take the contents out and make sure the door is secure.
No Pests
It is much easier to keep wasps and rats out of plastic sheds than it is their wooden counter parts. You won’t have to worry about opening it up and discovering a wasp nest if you haven’t been in there in a while. A plastic shed also keeps pet food safe from rats, ideal if you bulk buy dog food or have outdoor animals.
There are many advantages to a plastic shed, hence the increase in popularity.
