Where can I get a large sealed plastic box with a door. Sized as a small garden shed.

Oct 25, 2005 8 Replies

I need some extra storage space and am wondering if I can obtain a completely sealed walk-in sized plastic 'shed' that can live in a garden but keep the contents completely dry through a sealed doorway. I need something sized about 1.5x2x2m



I am even thinking of plumbing in a dehumidifier using waterproof cable/pipe glands so that he contents; fabrics, electrical items etc will have no chance of becoming rusty or mouldy.



Can anyone suggest where I might get a plastic construction like this?

Mine is called a house ;-)

But I bet your missus says...(your bloody not bringing that in here).

You can buy GRP "cabins" etc, similar to what you`d find car park attendants sitting in... these might do what you`re after.

feeling that with these I might have to do a whole lot of silicone sealing to get the level of sealing I want. I would also have to add some kind of rubber seal on the door perimeter, like that soft elastomer you find around car doors, for example.

I'm really looking to find whether some manufacturer that makes a specialist, almost watertight, shed design.

Why not just build a regular shed, insulate it and line it with board with a vapour barrier? It doesn't need to be airtight - as long as the air inside is warmer than the air outside you won't have condensation problems. A dehumidifier wouldn't have much work to do so it would be cheap to run (and would slightly warm the interior).

================= An ordinary wooden shed lined with polystyrene sheet insulation would probably give you the result you want. Sealing the door wouldn't be a major problem as long as it's a good fit.

Cic.

doorway.

Surely if it was "completely sealed" it would not have a door?!... :~)
