So far so good - we bought this shed for our garbage and recycling when we moved "out the country" to (hopefully) discourage the bears and coyotes we have in the forest surrounding us from raiding our trash. It lives under our carport so is protected from direct sun and harsh weather, which I think could be a plus over time. It's also lag-bolted to the garage wall with heavy bolts to prevent animals from trying to tip it over. Assembly was easy - good directions. Single person can do it (I did) but a helper would be nice for attaching the roof. Also, you may want to think about what it's sitting on. We laid out several rows of concrete stones and carefully leveled them so the shed will sit solidly and level (the driveway is gravel). Works GREAT - we keep a Carabiner as the "lock" for the door. We also added a high-brightness LED light inside for nighttime access, and put a shelf in on top (just used shelf brackets - no need to buy the fancy Rubbermaid ones). Very pleased with this purchase. We actually tried to buy at Lowes but after almost an hour of them searching, no one could find one and they didn't seem to care anyway. With Amazon we got free delivery and no sales tax, so it was a win-win (tried to buy locally - sorry Lowes - you blew it!)

Excellent Outdoor Storage - Strong and Attractive. Won't Rust. Easy to Erect

I have two of these Rubbermaid storage units. They are made of plastic and are strong enough to have withstood in excess of several high winds of 60 mph over the time I have used them. One shed is over two years old. No fading or other issues. I do recommend strong bases. I built mine with 4 x 6 timbers leveled into the ground as a perimeter and then filled the inside of that frame with sand mix cement and river stones until they were level with the top of the base frame. I then added 3/4" treated plywood floor. Once that was done, I applied the Rubbermaid plastic floor and erected the building. I believe building such a strong floor is crucial to these unit's long lives. I also believe these plastic units are much better than metal buildings that rust over time.

Easy to Assemble!

If you take your time and READ the instructions; it comes together very quickly with two people. Do not use a drill on high power, back off the clutch to "1" - "2". The flatter your foundation the better your unit will be square. All in all, easy to assemble.

Great product - bad handling in transit.

Went together easily with no problems. Just followed the directions and it took me about 45-minutes from start to finish. Instructions need to be updated as the slots in the floor piece and the 'knockouts' in the floor piece are already out and do not need to be cut out. You don't need a razor knife / carpet knife to cut pieces out of the floor section any longer. Unit it sturdy and doors operate fine. I'm happy with it. I was going to caulk the outside seams to keep bugs out but the panels interlock and fit together so well with each other, the floor, and the roof that it's not necessary. The ONLY issue I had was a back panel was damaged during shipment. The damage affected the outside of the panel and not the inside. Since it will be back against a wall, it cannot be seen and nothing can get into the shed through the rip in the plastic panel. Wish it were better but I didn't feel like waiting around for however long it would take to replace the panel or the entire unit.

Inside dimensions

The answer I see to the question “what are the inside dimensions”? on here is 52” W x 24” D x 72”. However, I waited until the thing came and I put it together because I wanted to fill it to maximum capacity with a hand built work bench to be constructed once I knew for sure. With a tape measure, standing here and writing it down as I go, we’re looking at 49” wide at the top of the door frame, same at the bottom, 24” deep at the top and bottom, and 6’ tall, with about a 2” rise to the middle which is sloped to keep rain off. Clearly there is some interpretation on “usable inside dimensions. Truly, if you lean some things you have 52” W x 24” D x 72”. But my work bench is not going to be leaning, which is why I waited. I am really happy with the shed, easy build, sturdy, but if you have similar design ideas wait until it arrives to build whatever it is you are going to put in it.
