Quality Patio Storage Cabinets
DUOTECH™ represents an innovative resin design, resistant to weather decay, boasting durability and weatherproof credentials critical to protect storage against the outdoor elements whilst displaying the gorgeous look and feel of rustic wood.
This new type of manufactured facade first entered the market with Keter’s Oakland Garden Sheds. After receiving first class feedback the High-Store was born also acquiring wondrous reviews, leading Keter to expand their range across multiple outdoor storage solutions.
We decided to side-step the hassles wooden storage facilities entail by moving into the quality resin style after yearly upkeep duties associated with wood rot, weather decay & yearly re-varnishing, a problem wood is prone to when subject to the outside elements, not to forget the frequent frustrations roofing felt succumbs to. Hassles now replaced with the minimalist role of a quick wash down.

DUOTECH™ Facade Composition
The walls display a silvery vertical panelled shimmer whilst up close to the touch, a feel of textured wood transpires however the beauty of maintaining the glamorous looks in minimal time lies in the resin surface, a simple wash down or wipe over with a wet cloth is all it takes to bring back assembly day’s pristine finish.

Maintaining Keter’s Patio-Store
Keeping the pristine finish regards the most basic of operations. An effortless wash down with warm water containing washing-up liquid usually suffices by using a soft brush or cloth. Many just lightly spray them down.
Any ingrained dirt usually comes away with mild detergent however now and again we add white vinegar into warm soapy water to remove any stubborn marks. Works great for us.
No rust or rot is associated with this type of resin manufacture therefore weather decay isn’t an issue. If wishes are to refrain from panting then only a wash down is required without involving re-coats of varnish, paint or wood preserve.
If you decide to brighten up your patio by adding a splash of colour however, over time the colour may fade requiring future re-coats yet without the hassles of rot to deal with.

Thanks for this in-depth and thorough presentation, explanation and evaluation of quality plastic sheds, Simon.
As a retired carpenter and avid woodworker hobbyist, I wasn't initially all that enamored with the idea of a "plastic" shed. However, reading up on them, in such detail, with a bottom line of Pros and Cons that clearly favored in the Pros column, I became convinced that a quality plastic storage shed in my back yard would be a worthy addition.
I WOULD, however, paint it, so my woodworking buddies who come over for a BBQ and beer get together don't chide me for not building one out of wood myself, lol.
Hi Marvin,
Thanks for dropping by to read about Keter's patio storage cabinets.
Don't get me wrong Marvin, if pressure treated quality cedar wood was comparable in price we'd probably never have seen resin sheds entering the market as their superior low maintenance qualities in comparison to other woods wouldn't warrant their development however comparing the prices, cedar wood is very expensive.
I too wasn't over enamoured with the early days of the plastic varieties of sheds and storage facilities but we went through a nightmare with decay issues, replacements of deteriorating roofing felt and re-varnishing projects throughout the last years of our previous wooden hut.
We looked around for an alternative to escape the upkeep work and noticed some mighty fine stylish designs being developed.
These Duotech designs are paintable so they can disguise whilst brighten up surroundings with the added benefit of just a quick clean down before future re-coats rather than having to deal with rotting issues.
Hey, your mates may never twig it's a resin structure when painted - ha!
Thanks again Marvin,
Simon.
Oh, boy....another great idea for me! I could see this on my patio, with everything in it I need for outdoor entertaining. What a fantastic idea! I love the size and the color, and it almost looks like a nice piece of outdoor furniture to me. I like the idea that I can paint it any color I like. The outside of my house is grey, so I think I would go with a totally different color to make it more of an accent piece.
Hi Matt's Mom,
