Comparison between Plastic Storage Shed And Traditional Storage Shed

The competition between plastic storage shed and metal/wooden storage shed has never stopped in the selection of tool storage options for home garages and outdoor spaces. These three materials of storage devices exhibit completely different characteristics in practical use.

The plastic storage shed can be called a 'lazy gospel', and its advantages go far beyond basic weather resistance. High density polyethylene material not only has waterproof properties, but also eliminates the need to worry about internal tools getting damp during the rainy season. It can naturally resist the invasion of pests such as termites and cockroaches, which is an advantage that wooden storage sheds cannot match. Daily cleaning only requires wiping with a damp cloth, even if it is contaminated with engine oil or paint, it can be easily removed, and the maintenance cost is almost zero. The snap on splicing design makes assembly as simple as building blocks, without the need for professional tools. Two adults can complete the installation in half an hour, making it particularly friendly for renters or those who need temporary storage. In addition, high-quality plastic tool rooms usually adopt a hollow structure, which combines lightweight and certain insulation properties. In summer, the internal temperature will not rise sharply like metal rooms, which can better protect the rubber handle tools.

The metal storage shed is a 'force bearing'. The cabinet made of cold-rolled steel plate can easily carry heavy equipment such as welding machines and angle grinders, and the load-bearing capacity of the laminated board can reach 150 kilograms. But it requires "careful care". Users in coastal areas need to check the rust prevention of welding points every year, and in humid environments, they need to regularly spray rust inhibitors, otherwise rust will spread from the corners to the whole.

The advantage of wooden storage sheds lies in their added value in terms of appearance. The texture of logs can naturally blend into the courtyard scenery, but if placed outdoors, it must be painted with anti-corrosion paint every year, otherwise it is easy to breed mold after the rainy season. Moreover, wood will shrink and expand with changes in humidity, and long-term use may cause cabinet doors to tilt.

In terms of cost, the plastic storage shed has the lowest initial investment and can be purchased within a thousand yuan; The price of metal storage sheds has doubled, but their lifespan can last up to 20 years; Wooden storage sheds require additional maintenance costs every year in addition to the purchase cost. After weighing the options, choose plastic for lightweight home storage, metal for industrial grade storage, and wooden for courtyard decoration and storage. Choose according to your needs to make the most of everything.
