Below is a brief overview of how some of the key points of this shed fairs across the market.

Guarantee

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 5 years guarantee. Most plastic shed come with a 10 years guarantee (36.47% of them) ^[1].

For this particular brand (Suncast) they offer 12 ^[2] different types of guarantees on their plastic sheds, with the 5 years guarantee on this being the shortest they offer. The 5 years guarantee is found on 9.09% of Suncast plastic sheds ^[3], with a 10 year guarantee on 90.91% of its plastic sheds. It is a shame this shed 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 6′ x 4′ plastic sheds (we found 367 of them) the most popular guarantee length offered by manufacturers was 10 years ^[4]. 45.50% came with a missing guarantee, 33.79% came with a 10 year guarantee, 14.71% came with a 15 year guarantee, 2.45% came with a 30 year guarantee, 2.18% came with a 1 year guarantee, 1.09% came with a 20 year guarantee, 0.27% came with a 5 year guarantee, 0.00% came with a limited lifetime guarantee and 0.00% came with a lifetime guarantee.
