How Long Will Resin Sheds Last?

If you’ve been researching resin sheds, there’s a lot to take in! These modern and reliable outdoor storage options are a great solution for your storage needs. However, many people are more familiar with wood or metal sheds. While these types of sheds have been popular in the past, they come with some significant drawbacks that resin sheds don’t have. One of those big concerns is about longevity and quality. However, resin sheds are sturdy options that can last for many, many years with little to no maintenance, unlike other shed types. 


How do we know this? Well, we’re experts on sheds. Keter has been making resin products since 1948. So, we know all about them–let’s talk more about resin sheds and why they last so long.

What Are Resin Sheds Made Of?

So, what’s the secret behind Keter’s resin sheds that makes them so durable and weather resistant? It all comes down to the high-quality materials we use to make our sheds. Keter sheds are crafted from a sturdy resin. What is this, though? It’s a super strong plastic that’s built to last. This material is tough enough to stand up to just about anything nature throws at it—rain, snow, intense sunlight and even extreme temperatures.

But that’s not all we use to make our sheds. Many of our resin storage sheds are steel-reinforced and even double-walled. This adds more strength and ensures that the shed stays sturdy, even when faced with harsh weather conditions.

What makes resin sheds really stand out compared to wood or metal sheds is how they handle the weather. Wood can rot, warp and even attract pests. Metal, on the other hand, is prone to rust and corrosion. Resin, though? It won’t crack, rust, rot or peel. Whether it's a sunny day or a rainstorm, your Keter shed will look just as good as it did on day one! Plus, the UV-resistant properties of resin mean it won’t fade or lose its color, so you don’t have to worry about it looking old and worn out over time.

In short, Keter’s resin sheds are made to withstand the elements while staying strong and looking great. It's the perfect storage solution if you're looking for something that's both tough and long-lasting.

The Longevity of Resin Sheds

Keter’s resin sheds are extremely durable, and we’ve built them to last. It’s important to us to build planet-friendly products that don’t just end up in a landfill after a few short years. If there is an issue with your shed, our resin sheds are covered by a warranty. All you have to do is activate it as soon as you purchase your shed.

In addition, our weather resistant resin sheds are unlike other shed types. For example, if a metal shed is exposed to water, it can rust. If a wooden shed isn’t properly cared for, parts of it can rot and require rebuilding. Resin sheds don’t do that.

Why Resin Sheds Are Durable

No one wants a shed that’s going to fall apart in just a few seasons of rough weather. That’s where our resin sheds truly shine. They have been designed to withstand a range of harsh elements. We’ve touched on it a little bit, but let’s talk about it a bit more.

Weather-Resistant

Rain? Snow? Sun? No problem. Our resin sheds are designed to handle all kinds of weather. The materials are UV-resistant, so the sun won’t fade or weaken them over time. Plus, they won’t absorb water as wood does. This means no warping or swelling when it rains. High winds? No problem. Our sheds stay put, thanks to their sturdy construction. In fact, some of our sheds, like the Artisan 11x7 storage shed, can resist winds up to 90 miles per hour! Each of our sheds also comes with a heavy-duty floor that will keep your stored items safe from dirt, mud and moisture.

No Rotting, Rusting or Peeling

One of the biggest issues with wooden and metal sheds is that aging isn’t graceful for these shed types without a lot of work. Wood can rot, attract termites and eventually fall apart, while metal can rust or corrode after too much exposure to moisture. With our resin sheds, none of that happens. They stay strong and look great year after year—no chipping, no peeling and no surprise maintenance projects.

Bottom line? Our resin sheds are made to last—without all the upkeep. 

Fade-Resistant Technology

Another big upside to Keter resin storage sheds is that many of them have a gorgeous wood look that will not fade no matter how much sunlight it's exposed to. The resin storage shed will maintain the same appearance even after years and years of use with little to no maintenance.

How to Extend the Life of Your Resin Shed

While our resin storage sheds do not require a lot of maintenance, it is always good to follow a few rules of thumb. Consider doing things like wiping down your shed every once in a while, checking for any signs of debris buildup and making sure it stays on a solid, level surface. To keep your shed looking fresh and free from dust, dirt or pollen, just wipe down the shed every once in a while.

It’s also a good idea to check the doors, hinges and locks occasionally to ensure everything is working smoothly. If you live in an area with heavy snowfall, brushing off excess snow from the roof can help prevent unnecessary weight and strain.

Lastly, be mindful of placement. While Keter resin sheds are built to withstand the elements, placing your shed on a well-drained, even base (like a concrete pad or gravel base) will help keep it stable and prolong its lifespan.

With just a little occasional upkeep, your Keter resin shed will stay in great shape for years to come—giving you reliable, hassle-free storage season after season.

When it comes to durability, Keter’s resin sheds check all the boxes. They’re built to last, standing strong against the harshest of elements. 


If you're looking for a storage solution that’s tough, weather-resistant and hassle-free, a Keter resin shed is the perfect solution.
