Rubbermaid Vertical Storage Shed

I really should have gotten this years ago. I live in an area ruled by home owner association bylaws and building a proper shed was not an option. This product is perfect for small yards, or limited spaces and really does assemble in 15 minutes or less.

Actually, a friend and I had time to not read the instructions, try and assemble it wrong, read the instructions we should have read and then assemble it correctly in less than 15 minutes.

I threw 6 16" square concrete pavers down as a base and the shed fit perfectly. It is large enough to hold two full size garbage cans, but I use it to hold backyard tools, birdseed, potting supplies and other gardening accessories.

Two spots in the back are fashioned so you can drill the unit to solid vertical surface for additional support, like a fence, or a wall. I'd use a decent size screw/bolt and washers. You can add two shelves in ready-made depressions. Standard wooden shelving boards work fine, but...Read more

Got this shed for 2 big one$. I wish it were a hundred as some other reviewers reported back in late 07. Price seems to move often because it went to 350 a few days after I received mine. Speaking of receiving, the shipper was CEVA and although it was very fast the package arrived exploded. The eight pieces (amazon's description says 7) were held together by the packaging strap with the cardboard flapping around it. It does not come with two wire shelves as amazon's description claims. Assembly was REALLY easy... uncomforatbly easy. Took longer to move the pieces from the garage to the backyard. Pieces are very light and somewhat flimsy feeling. Assembled the unit seems only a little sturdier. I wouldn't put it somewhere it might be really windy especially if it were empty. I'm sure if it tipped over it would explode in to its 8 pieces. I have had several Suncast storage sheds in the past and those seem sturdier than the Rubbermaids. Although Suncast's are more work to...Read more

Assembles like a puzzel in a specific order... follow instructions. Less than 15 minutes to set up but take your time to make certian all tabs are inserted properly. Shed it plenty sturdy once assembled correctly AND sitting on a solid, stable surface (I poured a concrete slab). I tried to assemble it in a different location and then carry it accross the yard... Not a good idea, any twisting motion (which cannot be avoided) unlocks 1 or more tabs and it crumbles before your eyes. Great product for a cement slab! If you try placing directly on grass or dirt it would most likely allow the slight twisting action that makes this shed a house of cards. I put shelves in and loaded it up with heavy pool chemicals, potting soil, etc. No problems.
