Rubbermaid Horizontal Storage Shed

This has been a fantastic storage shed for us! We actually keep our generator in it at the back of the house, and it works perfectly for that. No leaks. I would love to get another for the porch or deck. It's very well designed and easy to use, and I'd say looks great too, not hard to clean, either!

Very sturdy and plenty of storage capacity for my outside things. Assembly was very easy and weather resistant. This product could be used for many different uses.

I have owned both sizes of this product for 20ish years. They are both on my boat dock, one used for seat cushion storage and the smaller one for boat parts, small swimming stuff, and cleaning supplies. I made a wide shelf with a lip to hold cleaning containers and supplies. Plastic crates in the bottom hold ropes, masks, and other clutter. Wasps love to enter between the panels, solved by frequent use. VERY gusty winds can remove the top and a door if in an exposed area. Perched out on the dock and vulnerable, I found that ratchet straps solved that problem. I love the boxes. If I could add one feature it would be a latch for the two doors.

I bought this box a while back and I can tell everyone honestly this is a waste of money and time this box took me 3 hours to assemble it is ridiculous how hard it is to slide the peaces together not including the fact that if you try and force the peaces into shape the lid doesn't go on I would not recommend this product to the average or even above average human because to put this box together you must have a masters engineering degree plus be a superhuman athlete. Hope this helps

I have had this for 5+ years and was kept in the yard surrounded by trees. I had a baseball glove stored in it (among other sports equipment) that I forgot about after years and it was kept dry and still usable. As with any storage container, bugs and spiders were present, most likely because it is dry. Sometime over it's usage the roof rod went missing but did not deter from protecting the items it stored. I also never used the lock ring mechanism that protrudes through the roof and never saw the roof ajar after storms. I assume that is the reason for it to ensure it doesn't get blown open.

I bought this shed used and it has been a great product. I use it to store storage containers, garden supplies , and little things that don’t fit inside the house. I lost the lid though when we moved recently. Can I purchase a new lid? Does Rubbermaid sell parts?

Dimensions are exterior and the inside holds less than stated. A bit disappointing.

Purchased 3/4/22, installed 6/17/23. Leveled ground first, then everything just snapped together. Seeing similar sheds, I placed a heavy tree branch on the lid to give additional weight to the lid so high winds will not lift the lid, possibly breaking the resin latch (which seems to be a little under sized). Quality seems to be good. Used to house a well pressure tank at a lake cabin. Drilled a 5 inch hole for the well pipe, and a 1 1/2 inch hole for the water line to the cabin. I plan on using non expanding foam under the tank itself for floor support. The floor is 2 inch thick, but is actually a resin floor attached to a bottom resin floor with a hollow core.

I have had TWO of these that have received daily use for over 5 years. They hold tennis teaching equipment and sit outside on tennis courts in a marine environment. I have never used a shelf in either one. These sheds have stood the test of years well but they do have weaknesses. Minor Issues: The padlock tab is too easy to vandalize and should be hidden. Rubbermaid should issue advise on keeping the roof clean. Major Issues: The floors are a bit fragile and I suggest plywood for added protection. The roof is too easy to crack with impact. The rod that keeps the roof open tends to breaks its support step in the side wall which could have a stronger design. Otherwise, this product is a great choice for outdoor storage and, with slight redesign, could easily earn an ErgonomicsDr excellent rating.

We had this shed for a not more than 2 years but it did not hold a wind storm and the whole top door flew. The whole was broken into pieces.not sure what to get or who to contact to fix it . I love the brand but I think this shed was a mistake I hope some one from Rubbermaid can help me
