FAQs
Plastic sheds have an extended life compared to other sheds - especially those which are well looked after! 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’re looked after, barring some major incident, there isn’t anything that should affect your plastic shed except general deterioration over a long time. Our BillyOh plastic sheds also come with steel reinforcement and metal hinges, making each design sturdy and built to last.
At Garden Buildings Direct, our plastic sheds come in pre-assembled parts which are incredibly easy to put together. 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. Moreover, because the material itself is lightweight, plastic sheds also require little manpower to install. You and a friend can have it built in no time.
Because garden buildings such as sheds aren’t naturally heated, internal condensation can be an issue, particularly in the colder months of the year. 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.
A 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.
While plastic sheds won’t 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 – especially if the ground is uneven.
Some BillyOh plastic sheds include a built-in floor, while others come with a floor framing kit designed to be filled with timber or another solid material. In either case, preparing a level surface such as paving slabs, concrete, or a timber base will make installation easier and extend the life of your shed.
This is determined by the individual shed, with some offering built in floors and some electing not to. At Garden Buildings Direct, each of our plastic sheds specifies whether or not a floor is included, in order to provide maximum clarity concerning this.
Plastic sheds don’t particularly like extreme temperatures - it can cause discolouration and even cracking in the worst cases. 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.
If 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. If you want to learn more, check out this guide to insulation and damp-proofing.
While plastic sheds are generally lightweight, they can still offer a good level of security, especially when anchored properly. Many of our BillyOh plastic sheds come with lockable doors and strong metal-reinforced frames, helping to keep contents safe. For enhanced security, we recommend placing your shed on a solid, level base and using padlocks or internal locking systems where available.
Both metal and plastic sheds offer an alternative to wooden sheds as well as a price-friendly option. 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. Both offer fairly lightweight options that can also potentially be repositioned if necessary.

Plastic Sheds vs. Other Materials
