Our verdict on the 6′ x 3′ Jasmine Pent Plastic Shed with Foundation Kit

The 6′ x 3′ Jasmine Pent Plastic Shed with Foundation Kit comes with a pent style roof, holds a 10 Years guarantee, is fit with lockable single doors that use a pad bolt locking system, and is treated using a uv protected process [1]. The windows window used on this particular 6′ x 3′ use a 2mm polycarbonate [2] material.

Base material: plastic

Our experts say this has 3 stand out features. 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 10mm thick cladding like the one used on walls of this shed is one of the best rated by our experts.

2. This polycarbonate glazing material is one that our experts say is one of the best available for windowed sheds.

3. A uv protected treatment like the one used on this shed 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 shed fairs across the market.

Treatment/Guarantee

The uv protected treatment process used here is one of the best types of treatment out of 2 [3] types we’ve identified on same-size sheds that you’ll see getting used on 2% [4] (82 of 4,360) of all sheds analysed, as well as being used on 1% [5] (4 of 436) of the top 10% of sheds. While you’ll find that the Expert Score of this shed is 1 point lower than the average for uv protected 6′ x 3’s (90 vs the average of 91 [6]), you can be sure it’s not due to the treatment as this one of the highest scoring treatments found on 6′ x 3′ sheds. You’ll also find the uv protected treatment showing up on 3% of 6′ x 3′ sheds (4 in total).

On a plastic shed, 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 Sheds ranging from zero right up to a limited lifetime guarantee.

This plastic shed comes with a 10 years guarantee. Most plastic shed come with a 10 years guarantee (36.47% of them) [7].

For this particular brand (Jasmine) they offer 12 [8] different types of guarantees on their plastic sheds, with the 10 years guarantee on this being the only they offer. The 10 years guarantee is found on 100.00% of Jasmine plastic sheds [9]. It is great that this shed was given one of the highest guarantees offered by the brand, and this shows the manufacturer has a lot of faith in the overall quality of this part of their product range.

When looking at comparable 6′ x 3′ plastic sheds (we found 123 of them) the most popular guarantee length offered by manufacturers was 10 years [10]. 44.72% came with a missing guarantee, 36.59% came with a 10 year guarantee, 16.26% came with a 15 year guarantee and 2.44% came with a 25 year guarantee.

You’ll also find the plastic cladding showing up on 4% of 6′ x 3′ sheds (5 in total) [14], and when taking the average Expert Score of those 6′ x 3′ sheds (88), the 6′ x 3′ Jasmine Pent Plastic Shed with Foundation Kit is just above the average with an Expert Score of 90.

It is used on 1% of all sheds [16] and is also used across 1% of the top 10% of sheds [17] we analysed. While you’ll find that the Expert Score of this shed is 3 points lower than the average for 6′ x 3’s that use 10mm thick cladding (90 vs the average of 93) [18], you can be sure it’s not due to the cladding thickness as this one of the highest scoring thicknesses available on 6′ x 3′ sheds. 2% of 6′ x 3′ sheds (2 in total) use 10mm thick walls.

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 sheds that have options that you might find a better fit if this is a concern you have.

More Child Friendly – If you have children and you are looking for something that has that little extra in terms of durability then tougher glazing options might be a better option. Here we have at least 3 other options that will fill those needs.

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. 

2. Polycarbonate: Is one of the toughest plastics available. The excellent toughness and thermal stability make Polycarbonate one of the most widely used thermoplastics. This durability makes this ideal for garden equipment and extremely durable plastic garden structure. Polycarbonate is also used for things such as riot shields, vandal proof glazing, safety helmets and headlamp lenses.

According to data from the British Plastics Fedaration the physical properties of Polycarbonate are that it is very good when exposed to high heat with a maximum continuous use temperature of 125 °C. This is coupled with the outstanding Notched Impact Strength data of 60 – 80 Kj/m².
