    I’ve been looking for a new shed now that we moved to our new place…which just happens to be on the coast. So, no metal sheds for us. It has to be plastic.

    I was surprised to see so many options available in plastic. And that you can get so many color options to match the house!!! Fantastic!

    In general, are these plastic sheds a lot easier to assemble than their metal counterparts? I sure would think so!

    Thanks for the great info!

      Hi kmv, thanks for calling in to explore the current selection of slimline sheds encased in a weatherproof resin manufacture.

      Salty air on the coast can cause havoc to metal constructions with regards to corrosion. Although many are coated with similarities to a polyester finish to protect against the onslaught of rust, you only require a scratch through to the metal for the corrosion process to start; once it takes hold, it rapidly expands.

      There are quite a few colour options available to match many house shades but the only resin manufacture I have come across that caters for painting regards Duotech storage solutions whereby they amalgamate resin talc into polypropylene, resulting in a composition that adheres to acrylic emulsion, thereby provides the opportunity to match any colour scheme.

      The only issue with painting a resin manufacture is they will require re-coating. Overtime, sunburn fades paint colours however you won’t be confined to sorting rotting panels before decorating, a mere wash & dry prior to commencing is all that’s needed.

      The main priority for a plastic shed concerns stationing them on solid level foundations to accomplish a plumb standing shed that functions precise door swings however you’ll find assembling from a level base streamlines installation due to the fascia panels easy alignment prior to securing therefore my guess is they’re easier to construct than metal sheds if you conform to the foundation stipulations.

      I would surmise the Fusion 7.5 x 4 ft shed up above is the easiest to construct on account of the panels tongue & groove formation. You simply connect the panels together & slide into position to align which eases the build process dramatically.

      Hope this helps & thanks again for browsing,

      Simon.

    I do like the slimline sheds, but they are mostly for up against the house right? I am preparing for a shed that will be free standing on a concrete slab. I am thinking I need to look into some of your other recommendations for larger sheds, right? I am almost there. Thinking I need to get the shed up before finishing the fence. However, these are very nice, and would be great for the side of the house for storage. I love your site 🙂

      Hi Matt’s Mom,

      Thanks for calling in to read about these various slimline garden sheds.

      Their most popular stance and position is to stand against a house wall, you are right. Although it’s recommended to anchor them down into the substrate below, wind resistance-wise and situated this way will increase stability many times.

      This style of shed suits where space is rather tight like down the side of a house or positioned on a patio plot however many people are restricted in size due to planning laws nowadays, especially over in America. The UK isn’t as bad as some of the states in the USA.

      A perfectly level concrete slab is the best way to go, making sure the shed won’t be stood in a floodplain, it’s a good idea to raise the foundations if there are doubts. No matter what type of composition is preferred they will all leak if immersed, wood, metal and resin.

      Thanks again for dropping by,

      Simon.
