Not so long ago, when you were looking to buy a shed, the only option was to buy one that was made out of wood. As we all know, any wood that is for external use needs to be treated with weather resisting products.
This is not just a one application process either, wood needs to be treated regularly to help keep it protected from rotting and sun damage, not to mention keeping the roof watertight.
Sheds made from polycarbonate, (plastic) are now extremely popular and have many advantages over wooden sheds and metal sheds.
To start with, (and this is what attracts many people to buy a plastic shed) plastic sheds are virtually maintenance-free. They are UV and fade resistant, they don’t require any weatherproofing protection, so no regular wood preserver or metal painting required which you have to do with wooden and metal sheds.
The only thing that you may need to do is to give the plastic shed a wipe down with a cloth or a wash over with a hosepipe to keep it looking fresh and clean.
Plastic sheds are easier to assemble, and when assembled correctly are very strong and completely weatherproof.
