Wind resistance testing to 115km/hr (71mph) and snow load testing to 80kg/m² (16.4lb/ft²) confirm this shed’s ability to withstand harsh weather conditions. The polycarbonate will not rot, sag, decay, or become brittle over time, providing consistent performance year after year.

Treatment & Guarantee

The 100% UV-protected panels guarantee that the dark grey finish will never discolour or fade, even with prolonged sun exposure. A comprehensive 12-year limited warranty protects your investment. This plastic garden shed is completely maintenance free – no painting, treating, or staining required.

Doors & Windows

The Palram Canopia Rubicon features wide double doors with a convenient ramped entrance, making it easy to move larger items in and out. The doors are secured by a sliding bolt mechanism to keep your stored items safe (padlock not supplied). The polycarbonate skylight roof panels provide natural illumination throughout the interior whilst ensuring excellent privacy.

Assembly Information

The sliding panel system makes this plastic shed incredibly easy to assemble. The structure must be anchored to a solid, level surface to maintain structural integrity during adverse weather conditions. A free Hilti screw anchoring kit is included with your purchase to secure the shed safely.
