  "description": "Resin against the alternatives\n\nThree materials dominate garden storage, and they fail in different ways.\n\nTimber looks best and asks for the most. It wants treating every year or two, the felt on the roof lifts eventually, and the bottom edge of the boards is where the rot starts because that is where water sits.\n\nMetal does not rot, but it rusts at the seams and around the fixings, and it is loud in rain and prone to condensation.\n\nResin does neither. It does not need painting, treating or re-felting, and it does not corrode. The trade is that a plastic shell needs help staying rigid, which is what the steel reinforcement here is for.\n\nFor most people the deciding factor is honest: how much maintenance are you actually going to do? If the answer is none, resin is the one that copes with that.\n\nThe base matters more than the shed\n\nThe single biggest thing that shortens the life of any garden store is the ground under it.\n\nA firm, level base keeps the structure square. Square means the doors close properly, and doors that close properly keep water out and stay easy to use.\n\nSet the same shed on soft ground or wobbly slabs and it slowly racks out of shape.

Price GBP 399, reduced from GBP 459. It is made from polypropylene resin plastic with steel reinforcement for durability. It is weather resistant, waterproof and UV protected, and will not peel, rot or rust, so it needs no painting or timber treatment. It has metal hinges rated for constant use and a heavy duty SLOPED floor panel that lets wheeled items such as lawn mowers, bikes and wheelbarrows be rolled straight inside. Adjustable shelving brackets ARE included to support two wooden planks as shelves, but the WOODEN PLANKS THEMSELVES ARE NOT INCLUDED and must be supplied by the buyer. The shed is PADLOCK COMPATIBLE and can be locked, but A PADLOCK IS NOT INCLUDED. Typical uses are patio and garden furniture, pool accessories, bikes, lawn mowers and garden tool storage. Care: rinse with water and mild detergent, avoid solvent cleaners, and keep the base clear of debris so water drains away.
