Base material: plastic
Our experts say this has 1 stand out feature. A stand out feature is something found on over 70% of the top 10% of products in a particular category or is an exceptionally good feature as rated by our panel of experts.
1. A uv protected treatment like the one used on this garden storage is one our experts are happy to say is one of the best around.
Below is a brief overview of how some of the key points of this garden storage fairs across the market.
Treatment/Guarantee
The uv protected treatment process used here is one of the best types of treatment out of 2 [2] types we’ve identified on same-size garden storage that you’ll see getting used on 2% [3] (20 of 965) of all garden storage analysed, as well as being used on 5% [4] (5 of 96) of the top 10% of garden storage. In fact this is the only 2′ x 2′ garden storage you’ll find that uses an uv protected treatment process [5].
On a plastic garden storage box, the guarantee that the manufacturer offers is usually a very good indicator of the quality of the building. The longer the guarantee the more the manufacturer believes in the quality of the building they have produced. Typically we see manufacturer guarantees for plastic Garden Storage ranging from zero right up to a limited lifetime guarantee.
This plastic garden storage box comes with a 5 years guarantee. Most plastic garden storage come with a 15 years guarantee (26.04% of them) [6].
For this particular brand (Suncast) they offer 11 [7] different types of guarantees on their plastic garden storage, with the 5 years guarantee on this being the shortest they offer. The 5 years guarantee is found on 84.21% of Suncast plastic garden storage [8], with a 10 year guarantee on 15.79% of its plastic garden storage. It is a shame this garden storage was given the lowest guarantee offered by the brand, and this could be a reasonable indication that the manufacturer doesn’t have as much faith it the overall quality of this part of their product range.
When looking at comparable 2′ x 2′ plastic garden storage (we found 51 of them) the most popular guarantee length offered by manufacturers was 5 years [9]. 84.31% came with a missing guarantee, 7.84% came with a 5 year guarantee, 3.92% came with a 10 year guarantee, 1.96% came with a 2 year guarantee and 1.96% came with a 15 year guarantee.

Public-Facing – Extra security measures might be more of a concern if you’re placing your building in an area that is more public-facing than a garden. Features such as security windows or even having no windows at all, and the ability to lock all opening doors are usually much more important when you have something that is more public-facing. We found at least 3 garden storage that have options that you might find a better fit if this is a concern you have.

1. UV treated: The British Plastics Federation says that the addition of light stabilisers (they are called hindered amine light stabilisers (HALS)) in plastics are used “to inhibit the reactions in plastics which cause undesirable chemical degradation from exposure to UV light.” This chemical degradation from exposure to UV light is often seen as chalking or a white residue that forms as the polymers degrade over time. This degradation can often be avoided by adding HALS that are UV absorbers such as benzotriazoles, benzophenones or organic nickel compounds. By incorporating weathering stabilisers into the plastics used the damaging effects of UV light will be slowed down considerably. ↩
