Resin shed needs modifications for wind and longevity
This resin shed is not impressive as a standalone unit and would likely fail within a couple of years in wind-prone areas, as screws could strip from excess movement. It was chosen over wood to avoid termites, powder post beetles, carpenter ants, and carpenter bees, and over metal sheds due to poor metal quality. Assembly is easier on a level paver base and can be done solo, but requires a ladder, drill, and box cutters, and the instructions are not the best. After reinforcing with a 2x4 and plywood shelving unit, bolting to roof supports, and adding real windows and a solar vent fan, the result is satisfactory, but a resin shed would not be purchased again.
