Advantages Of A Rubbermaid Storage Shed

Fri, 26 Feb 2010 23:57:02 +0000

Storage solutions come in many forms, but none so refined, sturdy and intuitive as the sheds by Rubbermaid. The company Rubbermaid has many years of experience creating high quality consumer goods ranging from Tupperware to storage totes. Their shed line varies widely in shape and design, suiting a wide range of needs. All of their sheds are made with heavy duty plastic construction. This isn’t your typical plastic, either. The intelligent design is constructed using high grade polyethylene polymers, which don’t chip or crack. Their sheds are not only space conscious but cleanly as well, with a variety of indoor uses as well as outdoor. Let’s take a look at some of the shed models that Rubbermaid offers.

Rubbermaid 3749 Vertical Shed

Sleek and compact, this model is intended to store long objects and keep them out of the way. Long handle tools fit perfectly into the internal compartment, keeping them safe from weather and wear. To keep tools from sliding around, the floorboard of the shed is gridded to keep them in place. The handle ends sit snugly in these grooves until you are ready to use the tool again. Several shelves are included to customize your storage space. This vertical oriented model takes advantage of previously unused space with its tall design. Seventeen cubic feet of storage volume accommodates quite a bit of storage. The doors can be locked for security and to keep dangerous tools and chemicals away from children. These types of sheds are also referred to as Rubbermaid storage cabinets and can be found at most home improvement stores.

Deck Box 5E39

While referred to as a deck box, this product is Rubbermaid shed in a low profile form. It sits on your deck or patio to provide a place to store outdoor items. The raised floor ensures that water can never leak in and damage your goods. Seven easy to assemble panels make up the unit, each made out of the same high grade plastic that Rubbermaid is known for. Eighteen cubic feet of space provides plenty of room for toys, tools and more. The interior is accessed from a hinged top door. A prop bar conveniently holds the door open for you. An optional shelf can be attached to the interior using the molded grooves.

Horizontal Rubbermaid Sheds

Similar to the deck box, the horizontal shed design accommodates anything you can fit inside, regardless of the weight. The low profile design ensures that it takes up as little space as possible while holding an impressive 32 cubic feet of stored material. As with the vertical oriented model discussed above, this unit has a grid floor to keep your stuff from moving around. Upon receiving your new Rubbermaid horizontal storage shed, it will need to be assembled. The interlocking panels go together with ease and can be assembled quickly. The doors can be locked with a padlock you provide. If portability is needed, Rubbermaid carts can be placed under the structure to roll it to a new location. As you can see, Rubbermaid outdoor storage sheds come in all shapes and sizes for varying needs.

Types Of Rubbermaid Sheds

Fri, 26 Feb 2010 23:00:11 +0000

Do you have extra clutter sitting around that you can never seem to find a place for? This is a very typical problem that people face all of the time. The cool thing is that there is a convenient and cost effective solution called the Rubbermaid shed. You may know the company Rubbermaid for their high quality food containers and plastic bags, but they also make high quality consumer sheds for a variety of purposes. Rubbermaid sheds are made from high quality plastics and come in a variety of shapes. Minimal assembly is required and many models simply snap together. Plastic sheds like these are superior to wood sheds in that they are lightweight, can be used indoors and outdoors, and come prefabricated and ready to use in minutes.

Horizontal Sheds

Rubbermaid’s sheds come in different forms, one being a horizontal orientation. These sheds are more wide than they are tall, making them great for heavy and wide objects like bags of soil and garden tools. Generally used outside, these sheds organize your equipment, pool toys and more in an easy-to-find way. The plastic, more specifically called polyethylene, is made to resist all weather conditions and will not crack or chip. The internal capacity is something important to consider, and is measured in cubic feet. The more cubic feet, the more space you will have to store items. A Rubbermaid horizontal storage shed typically opens from a top hinged door, although some models have additional double doors on the front too. Many organizational accessories are available, such as baskets, nets and more which can help to keep smaller items in their place.

Vertical Sheds

Rubbermaid’s vertical sheds are taller than they are wide. This shape makes storing long tools like shovels and string trimmers a breeze. The inside is usually divided vertically into two sections. One section is left open for the storage of long items, while the other section is shelved for storing smaller items. The internal shelf system is perfect for the storage of things like paint cans, small boxes, aerosol sprays, hand tools and more. When placed up against a wall, these vertical sheds take up little floor space yet store a remarkable amount of things inside. A Rubbermaid vertical storage shed not only works well outdoors, but can be used inside your home to store clothing, surplus food and more.

Walk In Sheds

For people with a lot of stuff to store, a walk in shed may be for you. Their most prominent walk-in shed line is called the Big Max. Their walk-in sheds offer enough internal space for storing larger things like lawnmowers. They also make for great box storage units. Your storage is kept safe inside through the use of double walled panels. The interior is accessed from a convenient front door which allows enough clearance to access your supplies. Assembly is a snap, literally. The walls lock together with the use of a few basic tools. To clean up your yard, the refined look of a Rubbermaid shed is unparalleled. For gardeners, Rubbermaid has also created the perfect shed for you, called Rubbermaid garden sheds. These are similar to walk-ins but are specifically designed to store gardening supplies. These models are too big to be moved around with Rubbermaid carts.
