The Keter Grande 2020 litre storage shed is a great choice if you are looking for an extra large garden storage shed. Its 2 cubic metre capacity is enough to fit multiple bikes, about three wheelie bins, plenty of garden tools or garden furniture.
It is a bit pricey and assembly takes some time, but its huge capacity and durable build are worth it.
Keter Grande Store 2020L Storage Shed Review
What Are You Buying?
1. Extra Large Storage Shed
With a capacity of 2,020 litres or about two cubic metres, the Keter Grande is one of the largest storage sheds you will find that can still fit in a fairly small yard or garden. It’s great for homeowners who want extra storage space in their garden.
It’s a 6 x 3 feet shed that can hold plenty of stuff. You can fit in about 2-3 bikes including your cycling gear, three standard size wheelie bins, a mobility scooter, or an assortment of garden furniture. It can also fit most of your gardening tools, including larger ones like spades, hoes or even a lawn mower.
If you do lots of outdoor cooking, the Grande shed is a great place to store your grill and other cooking equipment.
The shed comes with a shelf for better organisation when storing smaller items like gardening equipment. This lets you make full use of the entire space. The shelf is removable for easier storage of large items like bikes and bins.
2. Durable and Weatherproof
The Keter Grande storage shed is made with metal and resin. The resin is called DuoTech, a rugged and durable material that keeps the shed in good form for years. You don’t have to worry about corrosion or wood rot.
The Grande shed is weatherproof and can withstand all weather conditions from rain to snow and sunshine. It doesn’t let in any water and the resin material is fade-free. The shed has a snow load of 75 kg/m2, meaning it can withstand quite a bit of snow on its roof without buckling or caving.
3. Secure With Three Locking Options
Sheds are hot targets for burglars who assume that they are poorly secured and thus easy to break into. Not so with the Keter Grande. It has three locking options for extra security. This includes an option to attach a padlock.
The added security lets you store valuable items in the shed like a mobility scooter or a lawn mower.
4. Beautiful Wood-Look Finish That’s Paintable
We all love the rustic look for a wooden shed. Fortunately, you can still get that while enjoying the durability and ruggedness of the resin Grande shed.
The resin has a wood-like finish complete with what looks like wooden slats. It’s not quite as charming as a real wooden shed, but it looks a lot better than what you’d expect from a plastic shed. You won’t mind having it in your garden.
Even better, you can customise the look of the shed thanks to the paintable walls. So if you are not a big fan of the wood finish, paint on whatever colour you prefer. Just keep in mind that you’ll need an outdoor-friendly paint.
How Easy Is It to Assemble and Use?
The shed comes as a flat pack, so you’ll need to assemble it. With a shed this big, assembly is definitely not a 5-minute job. The manufacturer says it takes 40-50 minutes, but we recommend setting aside at least two hours and having someone else around to help you assemble it.
To be clear, the Grande shed is not hard to assemble. The instructions are clear and the tongue and groove resin panels are easy to link up. But it takes time to put everything together.
Since the complete shed is quite heavy (59kg), it’s a smart idea to assemble it where you want it to be. That way, you don’t have to worry about moving it once you’ve set it up. We also recommend using a powered screwdriver for faster and easier assembly.
When complete, the Keter Grande store is super easy to use. Here’s what we love most about it when it comes to ease of use.
- Wide opening double doors make it easy to move large items in and out of the shed. Furthermore, the threshold is sloped so you can just push heavy items over it.
- The roof or lid also opens for even easier access to the shed. It is equipped with a hydraulic piston so you can easily lift it. By the way, once you lift the lid, it stays up so you don’t have to keep holding it up while you go about your business in the shed.
- A removable shelf makes it easy to customise the shed’s interior to meet your storage needs.
- The resin material is easy to clean.
What Accessories Are Included?
Beyond the parts you need to assemble the shed, the Keter Grande doesn’t come with any additional accessories. Of course, you can accessorise the shed however you want to suit your needs.
Ideas include utility hooks, wall mounted tool storage, storage racks organisers, solar lights and more.
