Our verdict on the Rowlinson Airevale 4′ x 2′ Plastic Cushion Storage Box Light Grey

The Rowlinson Airevale 4′ x 2′ Plastic Cushion Storage Box Light Grey is treated using a uv protected process [1].

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

Outstanding, our experts say most of the treatment options used are among the best.

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. While you’ll find that the Expert Score of this garden storage is 1 point lower than the average for uv protected 4′ x 2’s (82 vs the average of 83 [5]), you can be sure it’s not due to the treatment as this one of the highest scoring treatments found on 4′ x 2′ garden storage. You’ll also find the uv protected treatment showing up on 4% of 4′ x 2′ garden storage (4 in total).

You’ll also find the plastic cladding showing up on 2% of 4′ x 2′ garden storage (2 in total) [9], and when taking the average Expert Score of those 4′ x 2′ garden storage (82), the Rowlinson Airevale 4′ x 2′ Plastic Cushion Storage Box Light Grey is the same with an Expert Score of 82.

You Might Also Consider

We found 22 4′ x 2′ garden storage with comparable specifications. The Rowlinson Airevale 4′ x 2′ Plastic Cushion Storage Box Light Grey has an Expert Score that is 11% higher than average and is £84 less expensive than average. If you are looking for the best value or highest expert scoring garden storage out of the 22 with comparable specifications the following might be of interest.

Best value – If you are looking for something comparable that costs less, then you could save £137 with this Keter Emily 277L Outdoor Garden Storage Box Graphite. It is priced at £32, this is 428% less than this and has an Expert Score of 70, 12 points less than the Rowlinson Airevale 4′ x 2′ Plastic Cushion Storage Box Light Grey.

Highest Expert Score – With an Expert Score of 85 vs 82 for this product, the 4’7 x 2’5 Suncast 507 Litre Ratten-effect Plastic Storage Box Stoney Grey is the best 4′ x 2′ garden storage with comparable specifications, and is priced at £222, that’s £53 more than the Rowlinson Airevale 4′ x 2′ Plastic Cushion Storage Box Light Grey.

High Wind Area – If you live in a particularly exposed or high wind area then having a garden storage with a thicker cladding and higher than average frame thickness can be preferable. We found at least 3 garden storage that have a combination of features that can make them more suited to higher wind areas.

Coastal Consideration – If you live in a particularly wet or harsher environment such as by the coast then you might want to consider something with a more robust pressure treatment or something made from metal or plastic, both materials that are particularly suited to such harsh environments. We’ve found at least 3 garden storage that have a combination of features that can make them more suited to higher wind areas.

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.
