By Packy Kunst


Housing tools and garden accessories is pretty much a necessity for most home owners who have a yard or garden space to their property. While it may seem like a fairly effortless purchase in getting a suitable shed for your backyard, there are several key points that one should consider e.g. What type of items do you need to store, does it need to be secure, how exposed will your shed be to wind and weather extremes, how much space do you actually need, how often will you go to your shed? These may seem like simple questions to answer but finding the right yard shed for your storage needs can be trickier than you think when it comes to making the right choice.

A modern concept that has replaced the traditional wooden shed these days is the vinyl shed. While there are various makes of such products on the market. Namely Duramax vinyl sheds are definitely the leaders in this field. Vinyl is highly durable material for the most part is maintenance free. While Duramax offer quite a varied range of yard sheds in all sizes, here we are looking the Duramax 4x8 Sidemate vinyl shed which is an iconic little shed from the company.



The Duramax 4x8 sidemate vinyl shed will fit in almost any small yard space or garden. The slim profile of this diy garden shed lends it to fit neatly against any side wall or neighbours fence on your property. The tough vinyl panels on the Sidemate give this shed sufficient strength to stand up to all weathers and keep your contents protected from the elements. A vinyl shed in general is an excellent solution for home owners who want a maintenance free structure that never needs sanding or painting unlike wooden sheds or even metal sheds.

With 8' of depth, the Duramax Sidemate is calculated to give some 190 cubic feet of storage space, a sizable amount for medium sized storage sheds. The pent roof design provides maximum storage space and ensures no pooling of water occurs, preventing damage or sagging. A nice benefit of this Duramax shed is the metal reinforced construction. This provides not only a sturdy structure but allows for the hanging of shelves or heavier hanging loads on the interior walls, improving the possibilities of storage. Every column is reinforced with galvanized metal. For added structural stability, the roof truss is reinforced with galvanized steel.

A handy feature of the Duramax Sidemate is the fact it comes with a foundation floor kit that simplifies the whole assembly process. Once the floor kit is assembled and levelled one has the option to fill it with some concrete or to sheet it with plywood. Depending on the degree you want to take it to, the concrete will sure provide a stable base if you plan to set it on dirt but if one already has a concrete pad the plywood option will be an added advantage and will help to slightly elevate your floor away from dampness. The Sidemate doesn't lack in its integrity when it comes to floor options.

The door, 30 inches wide, is spacious enough to get most things through. It has never presented a problem when loading and unloading. The hinges are always smooth and functional. The door is also reversible, allowing you to place the door on either side of the shed to customize it to your unique needs. To provide added peace of mind and to deter thieves, the pre-drilled eyelets provide an ideal location to secure a padlock.
