Plastic KETER sheds

Faz786 · Wednesday at 7:25 PM

I’m thinking of getting a plastic/Keter-style shed, but I would need to install electrics as I want to keep a freezer in there and also have a light.

Has anyone had a socket and light installed in a plastic shed before? Is it practical and safe long-term, especially with a freezer, or would I be better off getting a wooden summerhouse/log cabin instead?

I’d really appreciate any advice or experiences.

Is that a kennel?

My "plastic shed" though not Keiter was not very strong structurally and had to be reinforced to cope with high winds. You may be OK in a sheltered location. It also suffers a lot from condensation which make tools and other ferrous products rust quickly. You may have the same problem with appliances. No other particular reason why you should not have socket and lights installed as long as it is done properly.

My shed

I brought the SWA up into an outside socket and other side of the shed skin is an inside socket box and socket, so rather than screwing into the shed skin, they pull against themselves.

Also means it enters the shed high up, so less likely a way in for creepy crawlies.

For a freezer ensure there is not too much volt drop.

And that it doesn't get too cold in the shed during the winter.

Typically 10°C is the lowest it should be.
