A new plastic garden shed from KETER provides storage where space is at a premium.

KETER PENT 6 x 4 Plastic Garden Shed

A new plastic garden shed, the KETER PENT 6 x 4, is specifically designed to meet the need for economical compact outdoor storage in situations where space is at a premium. With a floor area of almost 2.0 square metres and a maximum internal height of just under 2.0 metres, it can cope with a surprising amount – brooms, mops and buckets, gardening tools such as rakes and yard brooms as well as toys, bikes and sporting equipment.

The panels are a strong double wall construction manufactured from UV-stabilised polyethylene resin plastic formulated for outdoor applications, and as with all KETER plastic garden sheds, the floor is an integral structural component. This allows you to install the shed on any firm, level site and saves the expense of a concrete slab or timber floor – a factor which deserves consideration, as the cost of a concrete or timber base can run into some $100’s.

Ongoing maintenance is minimal with good quality plastic garden sheds – they will not fade, scratch or dent as steel Color and Zinc sheds are prone to do, (especially low-cost units which are made from very light gauge materials). An occasional wash down with the hose will keep the PENT 6 x 4 looking like new.

Plastic outdoor playground storage boxes and cabinets keep areas tidy and safe

Keeping the play space safe is a priority at kindergartens and preschools

Safe playground storage for toys and equipment is always a priority at kindergartens and preschools. The range of options available is quite large; manufacturers such as Keter and Suncast specialise in plastic outdoor storage solutions such as boxes, benches and cabinets and these have significant advantages in a playground environment.

Firstly, they are robust enough to handle the treatment that even the most energetic youngsters can hand out as well as being made from a UV-stabilised polyethylene resin which resists the onslaughts of Australian weather conditions.

Secondly, the units are relatively lightweight. This is important because it ensure that lids and doors are not so likely to cause injuries to small hands which get in the wrong place at the wrong moment! Obviously, care has to be taken to prevent mishaps, but there is a significant difference in the potential for injury between a wooden or metal door and a plastic one.

The KETER STORE-IT-OUT MIDI has proved popular in playground storage applications – simple to assemble and excellent value at $299.00 including free delivery from Landera. This storage cabinet has the added advantage of gas strut supports to assist opening of the lid – this feature also prevents the lid closing rapidly, a plus for safety.
