Lifetime 14×7 Heavy Duty Plastic Shed – Rough Cut Grey

Organise your yard, store your outdoor supplies and furniture, and stow your lawn and garden equipment more easily than ever before with the Lifetime 14×7 Heavy Duty Plastic Shed – Rough Cut Grey X.

Set up your space how you want it with height-adjustable shelving and enjoy the low maintenance of a UV-protected finish that protects against damage from weather and the elements. Six skylights provide rich natural interior lighting and the high-pitched roof allows for quick drainage of rain and snow.

A unique side-entry design gives you a great look and easy access to your space. The shed is made of steel-reinforced high-density polyethylene and a sturdy double wall system for maximum durability and longevity, and heavy-duty steel trusses provide exceptional roof strength. Work in confidence on the slip-resistant floor that protects against oil, solvents, and stains, and is easy to clean just like the rest of the plastic shed.

You can also protect your gear behind lockable steel-reinforced doors. With an attractive design and appearance, as well as a unique Rough Cut™ texture that has the natural look and feel of wood without the maintenance of staining or painting, you can enjoy not just the convenience and utility of your shed but also preserve the beauty of your yard.

Whether you’re looking to store some equipment or organize all of your tools, the Lifetime Outdoor Storage Shed has the features to make it feel easy and look great.

Lifetime 7’x4.5′ Heavy Duty Plastic Storage Shed

The Lifetime 7’x4.5′ Heavy Duty Plastic Storage Shed is a 6ft wide apex roofed shed with a built in floor and Large double doors.

This is without doubt the highest quality plastic shed available today. It’s good looking and tough and will stand up to the harshest UK weather.

Manufactured from high-density polyethylene (HDPE) with heavy duty, powder coated steel reinforcements this shed is both lightweight and extremely strong. It is a very low maintenance plastic shed as its UV protection resists fading, cracking and peeling. It won’t rot or rust like wooden or metal sheds – the plastic is even stain resistant. This premium build is supported by a 10 year warranty.

The Lifetime 7ft x 4.5ft plastic shed has a hard wearing integrated non slip PVC floor that will take many years of punishment. Natural light floods into the shed through it’s full length skylight window running down the ridge.. There are screened vents in both gable ends to allow for good airflow.

Palram 6×12 Canopia Rubicon Double Door Plastic Shed – Dark Grey

The Palram 6×12 Canopia Rubicon Double Door Plastic Shed – Dark Grey provides unbeatable weatherproof protection for your tools and equipment.

Using the latest Multiwall Technology, this garden shed is built from 10mm polycarbonate, which is virtually unbreakable and 100% UV-protected, so it will neither fade nor discolour in the sun. The reinforced aluminium frame adds an even greater sense of solidity and is completely resistant to rust. It is strong enough to hold the added weight of shelves, racks and hangers, for all your garden storage needs.

The flooring is made from polycarbonate too, and has anti-slip properties to keep you safe. The 0.9mm shingled polycarbonate skylight roof allows natural light to filter into the shed, but is externally opaque for enhanced security. It blocks harmful UV rays and has an apex design for a traditional, attractive appearance.

The roof’s unique polycarbonate skylight panels allow a soft natural light to filter into the shed, which is invaluable when you’re storing or retrieving items. However, it remains externally opaque to maintain privacy and keep your valuable tools safe from unwanted attention. Together with the shingle-style design, this also enhances the grey shed’s handsome exterior appearance.

You can gain easy access to the shed via wide double doors, which include a low threshold and are fitted with a padbolt to keep stored items safe (padlock not included).

Exclusively made from recyclable components and available in a range of sizes, this plastic shed MUST be anchored to a solid, level foundation. An anchor kit is included for this purpose.

Pergolas are a great way to add structure, style, and shade to your backyard or garden. But if you’re looking to add one to your home, you must first decide which material you want your pergola to be made of.

Let’s look at the pros and cons of both wooden and metal pergolas each so you can decide which one makes the most sense for your garden.

Timber Pergolas

Wooden pergolas are great for those who desire a more rustic, natural style and feel for their outdoor space. Wooden pergolas can come in many types of wood, but they mainly come down to two categories: pressure-treated lumber like pine or untreated wood like cedar or Nordic spruce.

Pressure-treated wood is cheaper, can be painted or stained in various colours, and is chemically treated with pesticides to resist rot and repel insects. Cedar lumber, on the other hand, naturally repels insects and is resistant to decay. It also has a distinct reddish colour and an appealing outdoor scent. Cedar lumber can also be stained to bring out more of the wood’s natural colour or painted to better match your outdoor space’s ambiance.

Wood also has the advantage of having a timeless quality, and it’s versatile, giving you many different style options. Compared to metal pergolas, wood is usually less expensive, allowing the upfront cost to be lower.

However, wood does have some limitations. Unlike metal, wood requires more maintenance and upkeep. Paint can chip, peel, and crack, and stain can gradually fade, requiring you to either repaint or restain the wood.

And though it’s rarely a concern, remember that wood is combustible, which may limit where you place your pergola and what you put under it.

Metal Pergolas

When it comes to metal pergolas, the keyword is durability. While metal is a more expensive material than wood, its ability to last much longer with little maintenance can offset the cost. They are also easy to clean, requiring only a quick pressure wash now and then.

Metal pergolas can be constructed from different metals like steel or aluminum. Just as different types of wood have unique properties, the kind of metal you use will depend on your environment and needs.

Aluminium pergolas are light and naturally resistant to corrosion, making them ideal for backyards near saltwater. Unfortunately, because they are so light, they must be securely anchored down so they don’t blow away with the wind!

Steel pergolas have the advantage of being much stronger and tougher than their aluminum cousins and don’t need to be anchored down. When you galvanize the steel and add a powdered coating, it becomes almost impervious to rust and corrosion while making it highly resistant to chipping, scratching, and UV damage.

And just as wood brings a rustic atmosphere to any occasion, metal helps to give your space a more modern and urban landscape. And because metal can be made to be both thin and durable, metal pergolas can be made to have narrower and sleeker designs that wood just can’t match.

TIMBER VS METAL PERGOLAS: WHICH IS BETTER?

With all that in mind, which material is better for your garden pergola?

The first step is to imagine! Go out onto your deck or patio.

Stand in your backyard where you plan on having the pergola. Picture the pergola in that space. Then, think of two different scenarios: one wood and one metal. Catch the scent of cedar on the breeze and feel the warmth of wood. Then, picture the vibe that metal will give.

Consider how the pergola will look along with everything else in your backyard. Remember that both wooden and metal pergolas can be covered or include canopies to add more shade, can be either freestanding or attached to a building, and can come in many different sizes. Once you have all of this in mind, make the decision that feels right for you!

Pergolas are a great option when you want to add style to your garden or patio. Because pergolas come in various styles and materials, it’s crucial that you do your research before making a final decision on which works best for your needs.

Do I need to purchase posts or can I use the existing posts I already have?

The minimum recommended width of posts is 100mm, if this is the width of your current posts then in most cases the answer is yes. As aluminium is a lightweight material our gates can be fixed onto wood, metal, brick or concrete posts, as long as they are structurally sound and aren’t suffering with any rot, crumbling or damage.

However, if you require posts we have 100mm and 150mm aluminium posts available which can be matched to your gate.

Polyethylene (PE) resin rattan, also known as resin wicker, polyrattan, synthetic resin, is a manmade material, rather than a natural wicker rattan. This is a key benefit for garden furniture because the material does not degrade as quickly as natural wicker. PE rattan mimicks wicker by offering the same flexibility and comfort but it offers much better durability. This ensures that it is able to withstand all that the British climate throws at it and will help your garden furniture look as good as new year after year.

The trouble with natural wicker is that it requires more maintenance and care. It is prone to damage from the elements which drastically reduces its life span when used outdoors. Wicker is likely to rot if it is not kept dry and looked after. This means you will need to replace your garden furniture much sooner with wicker than if it is made with PE rattan.

HOW TO IDENTIFY LOW-QUALITY RATTAN GARDEN FURNITURE

Rattan garden furniture is a popular choice for households but with sellers sourcing cheap rattan garden furniture it can be difficult to know which set to buy. When choosing, look out for the following:

Is the rattan a solid colour all the way through?
With cheap rattan, if you accidentally scratch the surface the real colour of the material below will show. It is often an unattractive colour, such as orange, which is probably not what you want to be seeing on your outdoor furniture! Good quality rattan is a solid colour throughout the weave and can be repaired by simply applying heat from a hairdryer.

What material are the feet of the set?
Ideally, the feet of your garden furniture should be stainless steel. The benefit of stainless steel is that it is resistant to rust and corrosion. Some cheaper sets will have rubber stoppers, just be careful not to drag your garden furniture across the patio and risk damage.

What does “KD” mean?
Good quality sets will be delivered fully assembled. If the item description says “KD”, which means “knocked down”, it is likely that furniture set is flat-packed or self-assembly is required. Although you can get some good budget sets they will not be as durable or as aesthetically pleasing to the eye as a fully assembled set.
