Darwin vs. Manor - Which Keter Shed Is Right For You?
If you’re shopping for a durable, low-maintenance storage solution, Keter sheds are hard to beat. Two of the most popular options, the Darwin and the Manor, offer weather-resistant designs that look like wood, but without the hassle of painting or rotting.
These sheds have quite a few similarities, but they also have a few differences. So, let’s take a closer look at what makes the Darwin and Manor so popular and figure out which one fits your space best.

What These Sheds Have in Common
One of the best things about both the Keter Manor and Darwin sheds is how easy they are to put together. These resin shed kits come with everything you need for straightforward shed assembly and are DIY friendly. So, no special tools or skills required. Even if you’re not super handy, you can have your new shed up in no time.
Both sheds are built to handle whatever the weather throws at them. Unlike wood or metal sheds, they won’t rust, rot or need repainting. That weather-resistant resin keeps your stuff safe and dry year-round, without all the upkeep.
Inside, you’ll find a built-in floor that keeps things off the ground, plus ventilation that helps air flow and prevents moisture buildup. There’s even a spot to add a lock on each shed (lock not included). So, you can keep your tools and gear secure.
And if you’re wondering about size, both the Manor and Darwin come in several options to fit different backyard spaces. So, whether you need a compact 6x4 Darwin, a 6x8 Manor, or something bigger, this makes picking the right shed size a lot easier, no matter what you want to store.
 The Manor Shed: A Timeless Classic
If you love the idea of a classic wooden shed but don’t want the hassle of constant upkeep, the Keter Manor sheds are a great choice. This collection has that traditional wood shed silhouette that fits perfectly in a cottage garden or a backyard with a rustic vibe. You get all the charm of painted wood without worrying about peeling paint, rotting boards or termite damage.
The Manor shed is made from weather-resistant resin, so it holds up well through rain, snow and sun, all while looking like a wood storage shed. If you’re looking for a practical shed that blends into a more traditional outdoor space, this collection gives you plenty of room without taking over your yard.
It’s the kind of garden shed that looks good year after year and doesn’t ask for much in return. No sanding, staining or repainting needed. That’s why it’s a favorite for anyone who wants a classic look with less work.
The Darwin Shed: Clean Lines, Modern Appeal
If you’re drawn to a more modern look with classic charm, the Keter Darwin shed collection might be just what you need. We think it fits especially well with newer homes or minimalist outdoor spaces. While it still has that classic shed shape, the Darwin leans a bit more modern without losing its timeless appeal.
This shed style strikes a nice balance between practical storage and style. It’s not flashy, but it doesn’t blend into the background either. It’s the kind of shed that looks intentional and neat. Whether you’re looking at the Darwin 4x6 shed or the larger 6x8 option, you’re getting a versatile storage space that complements a variety of yard designs. It is also the easiest and fastest to assemble of all of the Keter sheds.
If you want to create a cohesive look in your yard, the Darwin line also offers deck boxes and garden beds that match the sheds. So, to sum up, it is a shed line that’s easy to assemble, weather-resistant and adds a touch of modern charm to your backyard.

Choosing the Right Keter Shed for Your Space
Picking the right shed really comes down to what fits best with your home and yard. Think about your exterior style and landscaping first, if you want a shed that blends in or stands out. The Manor’s classic look works great with traditional or rustic spaces, while the Darwin’s clean lines pair nicely with modern or minimalist yards.

Size is another big factor. If you need a place for bikes, gardening tools or storage bins, the smaller shed sizes work well. But if you want to store bigger equipment or create a mini workshop, the larger sheds give you extra room without taking over your yard.

One bonus? Both sheds are designed to look neat and tidy enough to hopefully pass most HOA rules. Of course, you should check your HOA rules before building any type of structure on your property, though. So, if you’re thinking about putting your new Keter shed in the front or side yard, it’s a smart choice that won’t look out of place.

At the end of the day, choosing between the Keter Darwin vs. Manor comes down to your style and storage needs. Both sheds have so many wonderful benefits.

If you’re still unsure, take a moment to think about what fits your space best and how much room you need. Either way, these sheds make great additions to any yard, offering secure, stylish storage without the fuss of wood or metal.
