The 3 main types of sheds you can buy are plastic, wooden and metal. Plastic sheds tend to be less expensive than metal and wooden sheds and constructed of uPVC. This means they are extremely durable, in addition to being lightweight, very strong and difficult to damage.

Unlike wooden sheds they require little or no maintenance and are not susceptible to rot or insect damage. Unlike metal sheds, plastic sheds will not rust and cleaning them is simply a matter of using your ordinary household products.

Some plastic sheds are even modular which means it is easy to add additions at a later date if required. However it is worth remembering that plastic sheds can be difficult to blend into the background of your garden, unlike wooden versions.
