We needed a small waterproof plastic shed for storing garden tools. We wanted something that would last reasonably well and would be fully water resistant. Our garden is small and we wanted a small upright shed to fill a particular space, but finding one was not easy. Wooden ones are widely available and can be found for less than £150 but all the ones we looked at were flimsy, poorly made and seemed unlikely to last long.
After a long search, we decided on this Suncast model from Elbec Garden Buildings, but there was not much else available and at a list price of £308.12 it still seems outrageously expensive to me, although we were able to get it on sale for just £250.
In the big box were the six panels of the shed plus the door handles and a rather too simple assembly guide. Everything is cleverly designed just to snap together with only a wooden mallet needed to aid the assembly.
It was quicker than I thought to assemble the shed. Each component has a unique letter embossed into it which can be compared to the guide. The panels are then clipped together for assembly aided with strategic taps from the mallet - don't use a heavy metal hammer as it may damage the plastic panels. Unlike with other units I have put together, the panels seemed pretty accurately made and not too much force was needed to lock them together. I took special care that the roof was securely fitted to avoid any possibility of water entering. I completed the job on my own in under an hour although it would have been both faster and easier with another person assisting.
Once in place, the shed seems sturdy enough although lighter in weight than I would like, the empty shed moving and wobbling about when the tight fitting doors were opened. It is a pity a double floor could not have been incorporated allowing a heavy flagstone to be inserted to give it stability. That said, once a few heavy garden products are inside it gets a lot more stable. No shelving is included, and there are no mounts or lugs to which third party shelves could be attached. Custom fitting shelves can be purchased, but this is not cheap. I bought a cheap plastic shelving unit that fitted in neatly to store lightweight small objects.
After a few weeks of use, I am pretty happy with the shed. Only once did water enter overnight but I suspect the doors may have not been properly closed. The doors are a tight fit, no bad thing, and some care needs to be taken with them. I still find myself using one hand to steady the shed when opening the doors. Otherwise, there have been no issues with it. The contents remain dry and free from water leaks and condensation.
For the price I still consider it expensive but it is well made, easy to assemble and works well, so I suppose it is worth the money.
