Plastic sheds are a great low-maintenance option but they do have some drawbacks. For one, plastic sheds are not the most secure option you can choose. \
A standard vinyl shed doesn't take a lot of force to break into. It's possible to break right through the wall, if a person is determined enough. \
Heavy-duty padlocks and steel-reinforced plastic make these sheds more secure. Most standard plastic sheds do not come with this protection, so you will need to specifically seek this out if security is a concern. \
Plastic sheds can potentially also take heavy damage in severe weather conditions. If you live in an area that may be susceptible to a hurricane, a tornado, or an earthquake, these sheds might not stand up to the weather and may not provide enough protection for your items. \
Sheds made from plastic must also have a secure foundation. You will need to pour a concrete base for the shed to sit on before you put it into place on your property, which is an additional expense and takes a little extra work. \
