Why Choose A Rubbermaid Storage Shed?
Rubbermaid is well-known for their various storage and cleaning products, but many people don't realize they make lots of other things as well. Aside from their commercial lines, you can also buy a Rubbermaid storage shed that will hold your garden tools, toys, or any number of other things that you want to have handy in your yard but not left out in the elements.
Rubbermaid sheds come in various sizes and layouts, both horizontal and vertical, so you can get a model that will suit almost any sized yard and any storage needs. The doors are all equipped with hasps for a padlock, to keep the stuff inside safe from theft as well as keeping sharp tools, fertilizer and other dangerous items safe from kids' curious hands.
Rubbermaid's vertical sheds are generally equipped with a hinged roof, including a prop-bar, so you can get walk-in access to the items you need inside. Many also include molded-in grooves for adding shelves for better organization of smaller items such as paint cans, bags of fertilizer or grass seeds, planter pots, etc.
Because Rubbermaid's storage sheds are made of molded plastic, they come ready to snap together. You won't need any major carpentry skills to assemble them the way you would with many wood or even vinyl shed kits, and you can have a Rubbermaid kit set up and ready to use in a couple of hours.
Rubbermaid offers seven different sizes and shapes of storage sheds. They are available in both horizontal layouts, which are great for storing toys or other items on a deck or somewhere else that you might not have as much vertical clearance, and vertical layouts which are ideal for larger items such as rakes, shovels or even a lawn mower.
Horizontal Storage Shed
Rubbermaid's storage sheds are the only double-walled shed in their class - horizontal sheds with between 15 and 25 cubic feet of storage space. They're very durable and weather resistant, and will keep anything stored in them safe from the elements as well. They include a heavy-duty floor that is impact resistant to avoid damage from falling items or heavy footsteps.
Slide-Lid Horizontal Shed
Rubbermaid's slide-lid sheds are great for storing things like bicycles or lawn equipment. The lids slide back to make it easy to walk in for access to the items inside. The heavy-duty floor can support up to 1,300 pounds, and the storage capacity of 92 cubic feet gives you plenty of space.
Large Vertical Storage Shed
Rubbermaid's large vertical shed gives you lots of room for yard and garden tools, such as rakes, shovels, lawnmowers and so on, with 52 cubic feet of storage. The vertical shed also includes molded grooves to add storage shelving for smaller items. And like all Rubbermaid storage sheds, these ones will be free from rot, rust and other maintenance issues.
Some friends of ours bought a new house with a small garage for 2 cars, and needed somewhere to keep garbage cans outside the garages but still safe from animals, wind and other problems. They picked up one of the horizontal Rubbermaid storage sheds and it fit the bill perfectly.
They can store two large garbage cans outside, safe from animals and the elements. It took about 5 minutes to assemble the shed, by someone who is not at all a handyman, and the shed even looks nice beside the house. They're extremely happy with the results.
