That plastic shed I swore would fall apart just survived 4 years

I got a cheap plastic resin shed from Home Depot back in 2020 because my old wooden one was rotting. Figured it would crack in the first winter or blow away in a storm. But after 4 winters here in Minnesota with heavy snow and wind, it's still standing solid and not even faded. The only thing I had to do was bolt it down to a concrete pad instead of using the included stakes. Anyone else have one that lasted longer than you expected?

Did you read that Consumer Reports article about plastic sheds a couple years back? They tested a bunch and the cheap ones actually held up better than the mid-range brands in wind and snow loads. I put mine on a gravel base with some heavy duty ground anchors, no concrete pad like you did. Three years in the Pacific Northwest rain and it's still good. Only problem is the door latch gets stiff in the cold but a little WD-40 fixes it.
