Top plastic storage sheds for 2025: Our buying guide

Good gardens don’t just happen.

Whether you’ve designed an organic-looking outside space full of wildflowers and meadow reeds, prefer the sculpted manicured look, or just imagine an inviting space to relax with friends and family, great gardens come with their fair share of equipment.

Whatever’s on your garden moodboard, there’s one thing they all need: the humble garden shed. This small space creates room for storing garden tools and BBQ essentials, outdoor furniture, camping and fishing gear, and somewhere to stash potting table essentials without tracking mud, grime and weird smells all over the house.

Celebrated in all shapes and sizes (with an annual Shed of the Year competition, no less), sheds have gone from being cobwebby dark rooms at the back of the garden to much-needed extra space for seasonal bits and pieces. Some folks have put theirs to work as a home office or mini gym, while others have ingeniously transformed them into private pubs or peaceful retreats to read, practice yoga or meditate.

Is it easy to build a shed yourself?

The beauty of a shed is that, in most instances, you can knock one up yourself, with building a solid foundation the most cumbersome step. Once it has been laid to the specifications of your design, it’s just a case of construction - many small shed kits can be made by two people, so rope in a friend or neighbour to help (dangling a metaphorical carrot as a reward, obviously).

Why choose a plastic shed?

Sheds can be made from myriad materials, with wood and metal amongst the most common. But while these are high-maintenance or heavy respectively, a plastic shed is lightweight (so easy to move around), requires nothing in the way of treating (they won’t rust or rot), and is durable in the face of a temperamental climate, like the one we experience so readily here in the UK.
