Is Keter a good brand?
Yes, Keter’s resin plastic sheds are a great choice for protecting your outdoor belongings. Whether you want extra space to park the lawnmower or need to take the yard back from your kid’s toys, Keter storage sheds have you and your things covered, literally. Keter makes plastic sheds from a durable polypropylene resin that has a long lifespan, free of the risk of warping, rusting, fading, or peeling. Whatever you store in your shed, rest assured that it will be protected through all the seasons. Plus, we offer a variety of sizes and styles to fit your needs, whether that is storing garden tools, garbage cans, lawnmowers, and more.
What can I store in a Keter resin plastic shed?
Keter sheds vary in size, so what you can store depends on the shed size you purchase. All Keter sheds are made from a recycled resin that doesn’t deteriorate and can handle all weather conditions to keep your items safe and sound. Our versatile outdoor plastic sheds can be used for storing patio furniture, cushions, kids’ toys, bikes, equipment, snowblowers, lawnmowers, gardening tools, and more. They feature large doors that you can lock, allowing easy access to and protection of the building interior. Many Keter structures also have space for additional timber shelving, letting you keep smaller and lighter items safe on the walls.
How do I assemble a Keter shed?
All Keter sheds come with a detailed instruction manual that is easy to follow and only requires standard tools. The light resin shed wall panels, in contrast to other materials, are simple to set up in a short time period. If you prefer someone else install the shed for you, we partner with Kitset Assembly Services to offer inexpensive kitset installation.
Do plastic sheds need a base?
Yes, your resin plastic shed will need a shed base. Luckily, all Keter outdoor sheds come with a heavy-duty floor panel that is extremely tough when built on solid, level ground. Our resin sheds with floors keep your items safely off the ground, preventing them from being muddy, damp, or susceptible to pests.
Where should you place your Keter shed?
We recommend that you stand your shed on a flat and solid surface. Look for the flattest and most stable part of your yard when starting the construction of any shed. If you construct your shed on uneven concrete or dirt, it could put unnecessary weight on some parts of the structure and make it more difficult to maintain or repair.
How do I secure a Keter resin plastic shed to the ground?
Depending on your building location, it may be a good idea to fix your shed foundation to the ground. All Keter sheds come with notches on the floor where anchors can be secured. The types of bolts that you can use to secure your shed are included in the manual. They will differ depending on the material of the ground you are securing your shed to.
What are Keter sheds made of?
Keter’s garden sheds are made with durable yet lightweight polypropylene, which provides the appearance and feel of a real wooden shed with the superior strength of resin. So, unlike wood sheds, our resin sheds can’t rot, crack, or succumb to rodents and insects. And unlike metal sheds, they don’t rust or corrode either. Our sturdy choice of shed material allows us to produce outdoor structures that have a long lifespan, even when faced with continuous extreme heat, rain, and wind. Another important factor of Keter’s garden sheds is that they’re made with recycled shed materials – so say goodbye to regular cheap plastic sheds as you embrace the sustainable choice!

Do Keter sheds have a warranty?
Yes, all Keter sheds have a manufacturer’s warranty. The length of the warranty varies from a minimum of 2 years to a lifetime guarantee, depending on the shed type you purchase. To find out what warranty coverage your shed has, please refer to the assembly instructions included in your shed. If you’d like to view the warranty guarantee prior to purchasing a Keter shed, you can download the instructions on the specific product page of our website. The warranty starts on the day the Keter shed is purchased, so you must keep your original purchase receipt as proof of purchase.
What sizes of Keter resin sheds are available?
Keter’s garden buildings are available in a variety of sizes and designs, ranging from 4ft x 3ft small sheds to 7ft x 17ft large sheds. The best decision for you depends on factors like what you plan to store and how much space you have for the shed. If you are looking for other small storage solutions, Keter also sells budget-friendly boxes and storage benches.
Can Keter sheds hold up in the winter and in strong winds?
Yes, Keter’s sheds last well against the harshest of weather conditions. Our plastic sheds are produced with recycled resin, making them extremely sturdy and weather-resistant against warping, rotting, fading, rusting, or peeling. Whether exposed to cold winter elements or year-round high winds, our sheds are highly durable, easy to clean, and hassle-free.
Are Keter sheds waterproof?
Keter sheds are water-resistant and manufactured from high-quality, recyclable materials under rigorous control and supervision. Thus, you don’t need to be concerned about the effects of moisture. Keter’s resin plastic sheds can’t rot like a wooden shed, nor can they rust like a metal shed. Whatever you store in your resin shed will be safe from all elements throughout dry and wet conditions.
Will Keter sheds fade in the sun?
