Plastic sheds offer a maintenance-free option for busy people, while also providing an excellent standard of security for all your tools and garden equipment. Ranging from plastic storage units suitable for patios, decking, and balconies to walk-in windowless plastic sheds with our unique skylight roof panels that allow natural light to filter into the shed during the day, while being completely opaque from the outside. Our plastic sheds offer convenience and practicality at a very competitive price point. If you’re still deciding which shed is right for you, we recommend reading our guide to buying a shed, which gives you all the information you need to make an informed purchase.

Plastic shed materials

We use plastics with excellent UV performance, including fully moulded dual-skin polyethylene sheds and polycarbonate sheds constructed from prefabricated plastic panels with aluminium slide framing. Some of our sheds are made from 100% recycled plastic, and all are high quality and built to last, ensuring an excellent level of security, durability and economy.

Advantages of plastic sheds

Lightweight and easy to construct, plastic sheds offer zero-maintenance weather resistance along with a high level of security. Depending on your choice of shed, you get tough reinforced doors and opaque roof lights, excellent ventilation to prevent moisture build-up and built-in shelf and tool hanging points, all while keeping your belongings dry and well insulated from temperature extremes. For added security, you can even bolt our plastic sheds to a concrete base.

Plastic shed maintenance

The joy of a plastic shed is that there is no maintenance to do. As long as you site it on a good base which offers protection from subsidence, which could force plastic panels apart, you’re good to go. Our shed base construction guide gives you all the information you need to build the right base for your shed.

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.
