The Rubbermaid Horizontal Storage Shed

Rubbermaid Horizontal Storage Shed, 32-cubic ft

If you’re looking for a storage unit that will work indoors or out, the Rubbermaid horizontal storage shed might be the perfect fit. These storage cabinets are designed specifically for protecting and organizing your clutter, and are suitable for garden furniture, tools, equipment or even toys and bicycles. We’ll cover the main benefits in this article, so you can see if it’s the right choice for your backyard storage needs.

First off, this horizontal storage shed from Rubbermaid is deceptively spacious. Although it measures 60 by 32 inches square, and 47 inches high, it provides a total storage space of 32 cubic feet. That’s easily enough to hold a couple of large trash cans, several bags of fertilizer, or a collection of your favorite garden tools. You don’t need to worry about getting stuff in and out of the unit either, the lid hinges up and the two doors open wide so you can simply walk in. This is a very well thought out storage shed.

Additionally, the doors have hasps that ready for any lock you want to use – great if you have kids or curious pets that seem to find their way into any small space! The Rubbermaid horizontal storage shed has also been designed to accept various storage shed accessories. One useful feature allows you to easily add a small shelf for things such as old paint and varnish tins or any loose hand tools you normally have lying around.

The storage shed comes in an easy to assemble pack, and it should only take you a minute or two to snap the panels together. Even though it’s easy to build, that doesn’t mean it’s in any way fragile or lightweight. This a sturdy and tough storage shed constructed from high density polyethylene. It will stand the test of time whether you’re using it inside as a garage storage cabinet or an outdoor storage shed in a corner of your garden. Compared to the likes of a Suncast GS2500 Horizontal utility shed, the Rubbermaid shed wins hands down.

There are other storage sheds available from Rubbermaid such as the slide lid and the vertical storage sheds, so it may be an idea to take a look at those too. Also, you might want to compare storage sheds from other manufacturers. A couple that may be worth looking at are the outdoor PVC storage shed from Global, and the outdoor horizontal shed from Suncast.

For me, the Rubbermaid horizontal storage shed has provided the perfect solution. I’m not the most organized of people, so my shed tends to get filled with anything that doesn’t belong somewhere else. But then isn’t that what storage sheds are for?
