If an easily accessible storage solution is on your shopping list, then a Rubbermaid Slide Lid Storage Shed might be just what you are looking for. This article will provide an overview of the main benefits and hopefully help you decide whether this shed is the best choice of storage for you.
I admit that when I have had storage sheds in the past, there has usually been some sort of issue with getting items in and out of the thing. It's been the same whether it's garden shed type storage, or even one of the other Rubbermaid products. No doubt you have experienced something similar yourself. With my garden shed for example, no sooner had I started to put things in it, it became practically inaccessible. Trying to clamber over one of the kids bicycles to get the lawnmower out was almost impossible.
I thought I was stuck with that until I discovered the slide lid storage shed from Rubbermaid. I have to say these are fantastic, in my opinion of course. Not only are they surprisingly spacious for their size, but it's really easy to get at everything. The main reason is that the lid slides backwards, so when you open the front doors and the lid is pushed all the way back, can actually walk into it.
If you look for one of these online, and I'd recommend you do, the official name of it is a Rubbermaid RHP 3752 Slide Lid Storage Shed. The unit has a huge 92 cubic ft of space, and is 49 inches by 70 inches deep, and 70 inches tall. That's a very useful height by the way, because you can still fit fairly tall items in it but you won't be wasting any space.
It also has heavy duty flooring which is made from structural foam, so it can support up to 1300 lbs in weight, which is just over 590 kg. With that at your disposal, you won't have any trouble storing those heavy items like motorized lawn mowers or sacks of building materials. If you intend to store valuable items in the shed that won't be an problem either - the front doors are fully lockable. You'll have to use your own locks though.
The whole thing comes as set of panels that interlock. You shouldn't have any trouble with it as they just snap together. Constructing the storage unit shouldn't take you much more than half an hour, and there's no need for any tools. Mind you, it may be handy to have a screwdriver handy, just in case.
Although this is self assembly unit, the Rubbermaid slide lid storage shed is manufactured from high density polyethylene. That means it will easily withstand all the scrapes and knocks you'd expect it to get, and will also last for many years. If you decide you want one of these, do shop around for prices as they can vary a lot. Also check out your local Home Depot or Lowes for any special deals they may be offering.
