{"title":"Plastic Garden Sheds","description":"\u003cp\u003ePlastic garden sheds are the longest-lasting, lowest-effort choice for outdoor storage. Made from UV-stabilised resin rather than ordinary plastic, they will not rot, rust or warp, and there is no painting or annual maintenance to keep on top of.

All sheds need a level, solid base. Three good options: concrete slab (gold standard, 25-year base), paving flags on hardcore (cheaper, perfectly fine for sheds up to 8×6 ft), or a pressure-treated timber base on bearers for slightly uneven ground. Don't put a shed directly on grass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDon't put any storage unit directly on grass.
