Because plastic is impermeable, it can keep out rain, snow and ice, whilst also being immune to rust, mould and corrosion. As long as they\u0026rsquo;re looked after, barring some major incident, there isn\u0026rsquo;t anything that should affect your plastic shed except general deterioration over a long time.

Assembling a plastic shed is a task which requires no special tools or building experience. In fact, many modern plastic sheds can be simply snapped together.

Plastic sheds can suffer from condensation, but only when dampness is present. Because the air inside the shed is generally slightly warmer than the air outside, any moisture in the foundation base will rise until it reaches the cold roof panels.\u003C/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EA base for your garden shed should be more than sufficient in tackling this potential issue, whether it be a timber base, concrete, paving slabs, or a prefab base kit.\u003C/p\u003E","Position":3,"IsDeleted":false,"FilterId":0,"StoreId":3},{"Id":72,"CategoryId":866,"Question":"Do plastic sheds need a base?","Answer":"\u003Cp\u003EWhile plastic sheds won\u2019t rot or rust like wooden or metal alternatives, we still recommend placing them on a firm, level base. A proper foundation helps prevent sinking on soft ground, ensures stability, and reduces the risk of panels becoming misaligned over time \u2013 especially if the ground is uneven.\u003C/p\u003E\n\n\u003Cp\u003ESome \u003Cstrong\u003EBillyOh plastic sheds\u003C/strong\u003E include a built-in floor, while others come with a floor framing kit designed to be filled with timber or another solid material.

Luckily, in the UK, these temperatures at either end of the spectrum are rarely reached, so this issue is minimised. However, in direct heat, plastic sheds can become warm, and in the extreme cold, the plastic can contract, so be sure to keep an eye on your plastic shed when severe weather conditions are present.\u003C/p\u003E","Position":6,"IsDeleted":false,"FilterId":0,"StoreId":0},{"Id":75,"CategoryId":866,"Question":"Can you insulate a plastic shed?","Answer":"\u003Cp\u003EIf your shed is a place you intend to use or store items in throughout the year, then insulation is definitely worth considering as a relatively inexpensive means of allowing your garden shed to better regulate and maintain internal temperature. However, while the majority of wooden sheds can be insulated to better retain heat in the colder months, plastic sheds are generally not designed to be insulated.

Many of our BillyOh plastic sheds come with lockable doors and strong metal-reinforced frames, helping to keep contents safe.

Both are made from long-lasting and durable materials. However, a metal shed may be able to support more weight for things like shelving and hooks.
