Plastic shed - yes or no?

    Hey there,

    I've never had a garden nor a shed.. I want to make sure I choose the right one, but clearly I need help.
    After spending days and days and days... online looking for a shed I've narrowed it down to 2 options -a 6ft x 8ft wooden shed OR a same size plastic shed. The price is almost the same, however I was told by a gardener, that a concrete base would be needed for both since my garden is new and very soft. The concrete base + building up the shed would cost 1,500 EUR. A bit pricy for me, but maybe it is the regular price for concrete base + labor.

    Pro & Con wooden shed:
    * looking nice :)
    * annual maintenance :(
    Pro & Con plastic shed:
    * no maintenance needed :)
    * no window on the side and grey :(

    I have a disability and I won't be able to paint the wooden shed annually, I would need to pay somebody to do that.

    Question:
    * does anyone have a plastic shed? If yes, what is the experience so far?
    * Ireland (Portlaois to be specific) can be rather windy. Would the plastic shed "survive"?
    * do you know if the plastic shed could be painted (to add some nice touch to a grey shed)?

    Thank you very much for any help and advise. :)
