How I Repaired My Cracked Plastic Shed

Рет қаралды 33,393

Жыл бұрын

To fix a plastic or resin shed try using Gorilla Patch and Seal or Flex Seal tape. Start by terminating all cracks by drilling a small hole at the end to keep the crack from spreading further. The next step is cleaning the area of the shed that needs to be fixed. This can be done with a mild soap and water solution or my preference is rubbing alcohol. Once the area is clean, cut a piece of patch tape to fit over the damaged area. Make sure to press the tape firmly onto the surface of the shed and smooth out any bubbles or wrinkles. Allow the tape to fully adhere to the shed and then your plastic shed should be fixed and ready to use! This should work on all models of resin or plastic storage sheds from such brands as Rubbermaid, Suncast, Handy Home Products, Lifetime, Storemax, Craftsman, and Keter.↘️↘️Click “SHOW MORE” below to open the full video description! ↙️↙️ ⠀

Thanks for the video! I happen to have acquired this exact same shed and was planning to do the same as what you did. One of my neighbors was moving out of state and offered the shed to me for free. It had just been sitting on his property for 3 years. I poured a level pad and then just put it all together last weekend--and surprisingly it is still in great condition except at the two rear joints / material bends.

Instead of Gorilla tape, use Eternabond (comes in colors including tan). It lasts over 10 years and is used in the RV industry to seal leaks on roofs and sidewalls. I repaired the cracked corners on my Craftsman (Suncast) shed using tan Eternabond. I applied it to all four corners floor to ceiling and it has been holding great for the past 5 years.

@GanderFlight Жыл бұрын

Eternabond is another great option - I've used it on my RV roof as well. It's not as readily available as Gorilla Tape and I've had issues with it being used on vertical surfaces - it tends to droop and sag in the sun - which all adhesive tapes will do to some degree.

I just had a large 8" diameter tree limb hit the gable roof edge of my older Rubbermaid shed. Amazingly it didn't take the entire shed down (or me 😬). It only cracked the roof edge and slightly buckled the wall gable above the doors. I was bummed but also impressed at the same time. Didn't want to create another project but it could have come down on my bedroom if I put it off much longer. (storm damaged and rotting tree)

Nice ideas! Does clear silicone stick to the shed? That might help with waterproofing the seal at the top of your roof seal and any small holes. Perhaps construction adhesive for the wood reinforcements?

@GanderFlight Жыл бұрын

Not sure on the silicone - my guess would be not very well. And the only wood in the whole thing is the base under the plastic floor :)

The 1/4 is anchored to metal hooks and the hooks are hung in the holes provided by the manufacturer.

Can you do a short video on how you tied it down? I just got this same shed and I’m afraid it’ll blow away.

We've since moved from that house but I got some ground anchors on either side, then ran cables up the outside wall, under the roof sheets but above the metal roof supports, then down the opposite side - hope thats helpful.

How could you get the roof pitch? Did you disassemble the roof to tape it?

Nope... just climbed bu there with a ladder, cleaned it off and laid down the tape.

I do not. Fairly simple thought - just a few screws and then the plastic shims that lock into the panels.

Really helpful video. Question: I have a Suncast HDPE shed and am reading that neither Gorilla Tape nor Flex Seal tape will work with HDPE. Is your shed HDPE? If not, do you have any info on the HDPE question?

@GanderFlight 7 ай бұрын

This is the first I'm hearing anything like that. I'm sorry we've since moved an left this shed with the house so I don't recall the exact material it was made from - but I briefly looked at the gorilla tape webpage and didn't see anything about not using it on HDPE. Wish I had more clarification for you.

My gorilla tape lasted one season until it started peeling off. I think part of the issue was that the surface of the shed is textured leaving air gaps in between tape and surface.

Gorilla tape is strong initially; but does not last long at all. In just a few months it becomes completely non-sticky.

I had that tape in the roof for over 2 years in the Texas sun before this was filmed, so my experience has definitely shown differently.

Flex Seal Tape did NOT survive this summer in the desert southwest of New Mexico. I will be reinforcing the shed with lumber and taping it with Gorilla Path from the inside this time.
