Rubbermaid Horizontal Storage Shed, 32-cubic ft

I have had this shed for less than one year. High temperatures here in the summer months reach high 90's with the occasional day at one hundred degrees. This shed is in partial shade during much of the afternoon, yet the heat buckled it so badly that it had to be wired back together---it actually popped apart! It became so warped that the top will not close.
Before that, during the winter, it contracted so much from the cold, (which, at worst, would be about 20 degrees at night) that spaces appeared at all the seams and water and snow went right in.
So, what good is a shed that literally pops apart and is not water resistant?
It is quite expensive and not at all reliable, unless, of course, you live in a mild climate where it is always balmy and never rains or snows.

My wife and I bought a new house with a small 2 car garage and I needed an attractive way to keep the garbage cans outside the garage. This Rubbermaid storage shed fit the bill perfectly. It provides a way for me to store 2 large trash cans outside without the worry of animals getting into them or rain filling the cans. Assembly was a snap (no tools required - took me 5 minutes). My only complaints are that the price was too much and that the plastic slot for the rod that supports the lid in the "up" position was not properly formed and I had to cut away a bit of plastic that escaped the factory mold.

Anyway, it serves its porpose and is fast to assemble so I am glad I have it!

We've had our shed for years in a warmer part of California, it has held up well. We store outdoor furniture cushions and BBQ supplies in it. Convenient, easy to use. When assembling, use dish soap to moisten the joints and the pieces slide together better.
