An Overview of the Rubbermaid Slide Lid Storage Shed

If you’re looking for a compact storage solution with easy access, the Rubbermaid Slide Lid Storage Shed might be just what you need. This article gives an overview of the main features to help you decide whether this is the best storage shed for your home or garden.

Whenever I have bought storage sheds in the past, I have almost always had an issue with poor access. No matter if it’s been a garden shed type storage, or one of the popular Rubbermaid products, it has always been a nuisance trying to get bits of garden equipment in and out. With my garden shed, as soon as there was more than a couple of things in it, access became a real struggle. Trying to clamber over one of the kids bicycles to get the lawnmower out was impossible.

All that changed when I came across the slide lid storage shed from Rubbermaid. I must say these are brilliant in my opinion. Not only are they deceptively spacious for their size, but no matter what you put in them, it’s always easy to get it out again. The reason is that the whole lid slides backwards, so when the two front doors open you can actually walk into storage unit.

If you are going to search online for one of these, and I recommend that you do, the full name of it is the Rubbermaid RHP 3752 Slide Lid Storage Shed. It’s got a sizable 92 cubic feet of space inside, and measures 49 inches wide by 70 inches deep and is 70 inches tall. That’s a great height because you can fit fairly tall items in it without wasting space.

It also comes with a very strong heavy duty floor made from structural foam, which can support up to 1300 lbs in weight, or just over 590 kg. With this at your disposal, there won’t be any problem storing extra heavy items such as motorized lawn mowers or bags of building materials. Storing valuable items in the shed won’t be an issue either as the doors are fully lockable. You will need to supply your own locks though.

The complete unit will supplied as a set of interlocking panels which you can easily snap together. Assembly should not take you more than half an hour, and you will not need any tools, although customer reviews have mentioned that a screwdriver may come in handy.

Although this is a snap together unit, the Rubbermaid slide lid storage shed is constructed from high density polyethylene. This means it will easily stand up to all the knocks and scrapes it might be expected to suffer, and will last for many years. Before you buy this item online, it might be an idea to check your local Home Depot or Lowes and compare prices.
