Why a Rubbermaid Vertical Storage Shed is Such a Bargain

If space in your home is at a premium, you might want to consider one of the Rubbermaid vertical storage shed range. All of these containers are designed to take up as little room as possible whilst offering maximum storage space, especially for those awkward tall items that never seem to fit anywhere. This article will explain the different options available to you and the main benefits of each.

Unlike other storage solutions from Rubbermaid, the range of vertical sheds are designed from the start to have a small footprint. The most popular is probably the 3749 model, which measures just over 2 foot square. That doesn’t sound like much space, but at 6 feet high, you can store a significant amount inside the 17 cubic feet it provides. The 3749 vertical storage shed is also the only shed in the same class which has a double wall. Naturally it is completely resistant to bumps and scratches, leaks and adverse weather. This is a solid unit which can even accommodate wooden shelves if necessary.

The next most popular unit is the 3746 Rubbermaid vertical storage shed. This is slightly larger than the 3749 and offers 52 cubic feet of space. On the ground it measures 4 feet 8 inches wide by 2 feet 8 inches deep. It’s also slightly taller at 6 feet 5 inches. If you’ve outgrown the 3749, this one is the logical next step. It’s every bit as rugged as the other Rubbermaid sheds, made from the same durable materials so there is no need for any maintenance.

The largest of the vertical storage sheds is the Double Deep Modular Vertical Shed, model number 3673. Being a more substantial shed, this one will need a few basic tools to assemble, but nothing too complicated. Once assembled, this shed will provide you with over 160 cubic feet to fill. It has quite a large footprint, measuring 5 foot 6 by 6 foot, and 6 and a half feet tall. This is a slightly more serious approach to storage.

One extra feature of the 3673 is the access ramp which makes storing lawn mowers and trolleys that much easier. Naturally it comes with a heavy duty floor too. One tip if you buy one of these sheds – make sure you position it on a flat surface, preferably solid wood or even concrete. That way you won’t have any problems with the structure flexing or with the doors not closing properly due to misalignment.

Any of the Rubbermaid vertical storage sheds will provide a reasonably priced alternative to wooden or metal storage sheds. The smaller models will help tidy up your garage, greenhouse or patio without using up floor space. Designed for quick assembly and to be maintenance free, all these sheds offer great value for money and should last for years.
