Default Where can I get a large sealed plastic box with a door. Sized as a small garden shed.

I need some extra storage space and am wondering if I can obtain a
completely sealed walk-in sized plastic 'shed' that can live in a
garden but keep the contents completely dry through a sealed doorway.
I need something sized about 1.5x2x2m

I am even thinking of plumbing in a dehumidifier using waterproof
cable/pipe glands so that he contents; fabrics, electrical items etc
will have no chance of becoming rusty or mouldy.

Can anyone suggest where I might get a plastic construction like this?

You can buy GRP "cabins" etc, similar to what you`d find car park
attendants sitting in... these might do what you`re after.

I have been thinking of these, thanks for the link. However, I am
feeling that with these I might have to do a whole lot of silicone
sealing to get the level of sealing I want. I would also have to add
some kind of rubber seal on the door perimeter, like that soft
elastomer you find around car doors, for example.

I'm really looking to find whether some manufacturer that makes a
specialist, almost watertight, shed design.

=================
An ordinary wooden shed lined with polystyrene sheet insulation would
probably give you the result you want. Sealing the door wouldn't be a major
problem as long as it's a good fit.

Surely if it was "completely sealed" it would not have a door?!...
