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 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
Fantastic, 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 sheds that you’ll see getting used on 2% [3] (82 of 4,360) of all sheds analysed, as well as being used on 1% [4] (4 of 436) of the top 10% of sheds. While you’ll find that the Expert Score of this shed is 3 points lower than the average for uv protected 4′ x 6’s (82 vs the average of 85 [5]), you can be sure it’s not due to the treatment as this one of the highest scoring treatments found on 4′ x 6′ sheds. You’ll also find the uv protected treatment showing up on 3% of 4′ x 6′ sheds (10 in total).

Cladding
The plastic cladding(walls) used here is an about average form of construction for shed walls out of the 2 types [6] we’ve identified on same-size sheds, that you’ll also see getting used on 1% (16 of 4,360) of all sheds analysed [7], and sadly not present at all on any of the 436 sheds that make up the top 10% of sheds [8]. You’ll also find the plastic cladding showing up on 1% of 4′ x 6′ sheds (2 in total) [9], and when taking the average Expert Score of those 4′ x 6′ sheds (82), the Rowlinson Airevale 4′ x 6′ Plastic Apex Shed Light Grey is the same with an Expert Score of 82.

This roofing material is used on 1% of all sheds analysed, and 1% of the top 10% of sheds. While you’ll find that the Expert Score of this shed is 3 points lower than the average for 4′ x 6’s that use polypropylene roof material (82 vs the average of 85), you can be sure it’s not due to the roofing as this one of the highest scoring materials found on 4′ x 6′ sheds. 1% of 4′ x 6′ sheds (3 in total) use polypropylene construction for the roof.

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. ↩
