Rowlinson Airevale 8′ x 6′ Plastic Apex Shed Dark Grey

In-Depth Review of the Rowlinson Airevale 8′ x 6′ Plastic Apex Shed Dark Grey

The Rowlinson Airevale 8′ x 6′ Plastic Apex Shed in Dark Grey sits comfortably within the sheds category, showcasing versatility that allows it to fit various roles, from garden storage to a robust workspace. Built with an apex roofing style and framed in durable plastic, this shed is designed for practicality and longevity, making it a serious contender in the market.

Key Features

• Dimensions: 7′ x 6′ with a generous height of 2390mm (approximately 8′), providing ample vertical space for storage or work.
• Double Door Access: The shed boasts double doors, measuring 1,500mm in width and 1,830mm in height. This is particularly beneficial for easy access and moving larger items in and out.
• Windowed Design: The addition of two windows not only brightens the shed’s interior but also enhances ventilation. However, the glazing material’s thickness remains unspecified, which may concern users prioritising durability.
• UV Protection: The included UV protection treatment is among the leading options available. This feature significantly prolongs the lifespan of the shed’s plastic material by preventing degradation caused by sunlight.
• Easy Assembly: Scoring a perfect 5 for ease of construction, this product is straightforward to assemble, requiring only two individuals, which is a huge plus for customers who may not be the most hands-on.

Quality and Construction

When it comes to material quality, our experts have rated the Rowlinson Airevale with a score of 3 out of 5, indicating it holds its own but isn’t the very best in class. The plastic cladding, while not the most premium material available, is adequate for general shed construction and is the only type we’ve found in 7′ x 6′ sheds.

In terms of construction quality, it performed slightly better with a score of 3.5, reflecting a solid build that is expected to withstand typical weather conditions. The polypropylene roofing material used here is highly rated among roofing options for this type of shed, ranking well against other materials on the market.

Value for Money

Perhaps one of the most compelling reasons to consider the Rowlinson Airevale is its competitive pricing. Rated a perfect 5 for value for money, at an average price of approximately £790, it’s cheaper than the market average and paired with a higher than average expert rating of 82. This makes it a fantastic option for budget-conscious buyers looking for quality.

Market Position

Currently positioned at 1,303 out of 5,459 sheds in the overall category, the Airevale performs reasonably well against its peers. Its positioning reflects both its quality and competitive pricing. The consistent demand for this product suggests it resonates with users who appreciate the blend of accessibility and functionality.

Alternatives Worth Considering

If the Rowlinson Airevale does not completely meet your needs, there are alternatives with various advantages:

• Best Value: If you’re looking for significant savings without compromising too much on quality, consider the 8′ x 5’3″ Saffron Plastic Vinyl Apex Shed, priced at £600, offering a decent score of 75.
• Highest Expert Score: For those prioritising expert opinion, the Rowlinson 6′ x 8′ Skylight Plastic Grey Deco Shed scores 90 and may be worth the additional investment at £669.

Conclusion

Overall, the Rowlinson Airevale 8′ x 6′ Plastic Apex Shed showcases a balance of practical design, user-friendly features, and competitive pricing. You’ll appreciate the ease of set-up and the generous interior space, which makes it suitable for a range of suburban uses. Although there are superior options in terms of quality, at this price point, the Airevale shines with its UV protection and spacious design, making it a solid contender for your storage needs.
