    Simon, I love all your posts about sheds. I know I need to get one, but I have to get to the point where I have a spot for it. Looks like having a concrete foundation poured would be my first thing I need to do right? I am almost ready for that as I do NEED to get my back yard squared away, as it is a mess. I really like this shed in particular. Looks durable and long lasting.

      Hi Matt’s Mom,

      Thanks for dropping by and reading about Grosfillex’s large plastic garden sheds.

      The only real stipulation regarding any resin shed is to have a base of solid level foundations for the shed to sit on. This one step preparation process alleviates a plethora of potential frustrations during assembly and further down the line, so it’s worth adhering to.

      General consensus regards wood is perfect up to a certain size – roughly 8 x 10 ft however for a larger shed plus whether intentions are for driving in on a sit-on-mower and to survive heavy duty demanding storage pressures, solid level foundations of concrete laid at least 10 cm thick provide the perfect substrate to cope with the stresses whilst providing solidity for firm anchored groundings.

      All sheds do vary, Lifetimes boast they are the best, Oaklands and Fusion sheds are the new age sheds receiving superb feedback, will Factor sheds ever be beaten on price compared with quality? Suncast trumpet out their benefits, the list goes on however the anchorage system and the security advantages Grosfillex offer will take some beating and they do receive outstanding reviews.

      Good look with your choice when you’re ready, thanks again,

      Simon.

      Hi Emily,

      Thanks for dropping by to read about Grosfillex’s large plastic garden sheds.

      Thanks for your kind words. We too, like you spend a lot of our spare time gardening, sitting outdoors and alfresco dining when we’re fortunate enough to receive good weather, we certainly make the most of the warm weather when it comes our way.

      A few years ago when our wooden shed rotted away, we searched for an alternative solution to being held ransom to conserving and maintaining duties and opted for a resin style which has turned out just as described for us, low-maintenance and so easy to clean.

      We’ve since purchased a resin style deck box etc, to escape the yearly frustrations regarding upkeep work. Over here in the UK, warm weather days are rather infrequent, this low-maintenance resin composition provides the time to spend enjoying the weather.

      This is where the idea of setting this website up was born, to introduce the new styles of resin garden sheds, horizontal sheds and deck boxes to visitors wishing for a low-maintenance future too.

      Thanks again Emily, keep dropping by and reading about these new low-maintenance designs,

      Simon.
