Earlier this year I put a post on regards " The worst thing you have ever bought" more than likely someone will find the link?? I purchased a KETER Plastic Shed just under three years ago, when assembled it looked the picture, it had a concrete base that was lined with a damp course, it took me just under 3hrs to put this 8x6 shed up on my own on a dry / clear / no-wind day as the sheets are light in weight so I did not need the Wind, after assembly I was proud of my shed ( As us men folk are) I have a lot of tools in the unit comprising of drill / bits, Sockets, a lot of metal Tools, I noticed after about 1 / 2 years the metal bit I had were getting Rusty & put this down to vets, the unit has 2, one in the middle Front / rear, so I added another an other 4 hoping this would cure the problem, no chance, the rust continued, contacted KETER UK & explained, they said have you tried this, Yes, That, Yes, the other, yes, ould not understand the problem, I would have thought, if a customer rang about a complaint like this they should have come to investigate ( No) Then the Door warped, Replaced, The roof Leaked, replaced, I was really Izzed off with this purchase of £450 & told them what I though of their Rubbish Product, as it happens these are made in Israel, I said they should have stopped there, KETER Compensated me with a £100 which did not cover the value of the tools I had, so to conclude, if you are thinking of buying one of these sheds " DONT" Appearance, looks well, space with shelves, good, Condensation ( Absolutely Rubbish ) In case this is Mentioned, It's not a moan as some may think, but think twice about this product & go for Wood, I wish I'd never bothered with the thing, end of comment, think about your £££££££££££ before you buy.

I prefer to build my own, on with two small sheds that will look like beach huts when done Practical and aesthetically pleasing too.(hopefully)

I guess you never managed to sell it then, TW?

[TWR]

Not that it makes any difference HC, Argos Home Delivery's, I wish they would have delivered this load of Rubbish elsewhere.

. . . . 'Caveat Emptor'

[TWR]

"T" I would not for shame & Guilt sell this heap of Rubbish " not to my worst enemy) I ould not do that, I should have repaired the Floor on my old shed, at least my collection of sockets etc never rusted in the unit, you live & learn but this has cost me a lot in Rusy tools GRRRRRRRRRRRRR

Made in Israel is the key, means made for a dry warm climate. Not damp wet UK!

[TWR]

Eddie, if there was a possibility of this thing getting damp due to where it was manufactured KETER should have stated that in the Brochure, it did not.

[EDDIE51]

^^ if they did that no one would buy one!

Eddie, if there was a possibility of this thing getting damp due to where it was manufactured


It's not due to where it was made, TW...it's due to where it will be stationed.

Israel..mucho UFO ... norf of Engerland no mucho sun, plenty of rain.

[-Talbot-]

It seems to rain more often than not ... ;0)

[jno]

you could complain to Argos, since they're the ones who took your money and gave you something not fit for purpose.

[Baldric]

Very good explanation ^^^ Bill!
;o)

Why don't you harvest mushrooms in it TWR?

[Elina]

Thanks for the advice TWR. I need a new shed & had looked at these ... I still like the look of wood though ... even though they need treating now & then ... which is a bore.
