Ratings & Reviews for Rubbermaid 5-ft x 6-ft Slide-Lid Off-white Gable Roof Plastic Resin Storage Shed

Poor quality

Bought last year, but never left review. Both hinges for the door broke after the first night. The roof sags and making it difficult to open. It does store my lawn equipment nice.

NOT Hard to Assemble

I have no idea how others rated this 1-2 stars based on difficulty of putting it together. It took me about 2 hours alone. Has 100 screws: about half for the floor, and half for the roof, then a few elsewhere. 10x easier compared to metal sheds... look, its not all snap together like toy legos, so maybe others assumed you just unbox it and it all buttons togther. My one issue was the time waiting for delivery for the vendor to Lowes. Love that the roof slides back and the front opens completely....

Leaks and eventually falls apart

I've owned this small storage shed for 3 years now. Aside from it being difficult to assemble, especially when you're the only one available, my review is based more on how it's held up over the years. Because the front of the roof slides back over the rear of the roof, there is a gap there, allowing water to get inside. That gap gets worse over time because of the amount of times you move the roof or open and close the doors, causing the frame to shift because it's only cheap vinyl. It remi...

1/3 Quality of the last slide roof model

Right hinge broke first week, and now roof is sagging and won't slide open. I have two rubbermaid slide roof sheds that have lasted 10 years and counting. These new ones are as flimsy as they can possibly make them. No quality compared to their previous model I owned.

Decent shed, but site prep is a must!!!

I've had this for a few years now, and have happily stored my 30" snowblower, gas lawnmower, 2 large trash cans, a recycle bin, and a yard waste bag. Lots of room, and the slide roof makes things easily accessible. Biggest complaint is over the lack of rigidity. If you don't properly flatten and compact the base it's sitting on, the walls will easily twist and misalign. The roof slides on rather precise rails, and only a small amount of deflection will keep it from moving freely. Also, the hi...

Broken Right hinge

Bought this last fall to store toys. When opening the door today the right hinge was broken and the roof was hard to open.

Was hoping for better

I bought the shed last year to replace a wooden one that was old. It seemed like it was going to be just what I needed. But today the wind blew the left door open and broke the hing. I can no longer use the door. I guess it was too good to be true

horrible to put together

My husband is usually able to do just about any type of assembly or project. We purchased this shed and I do not recommend anyone to try to put one of these together. The stress has been awful. It is still not together. The roof and door assembly is very complicated. I am left with pieces everywhere and a roofless shed.

Hmm

So, I know the lid sags a bit and it's not always easy to slide the lid, but it works for what we need. What I am having problems finding is the shelves I should be able to put in the back to store smaller stuff.

Broken Hinge and sagging roof

Purchased over a year ago. Roof is sagging and hard to open. Left door hinge is broken. Poor design.

Sagging Roof and Broken Door Hinge

I have had the shed for a couple years and over that time, the roof has sagged more and more until it can be opened only by getting under it and pushing up to get it to slide open (which is getting progressively harder to do). Also, during a moderately windy day, the upper left hinge (3T16) broke and the left door fell off the shed. I installed the shed on a level surface (1x1 pavers that were leveled and sand set) per instructions.

Difficult to assemble

I had the previous version of this shed which I put together by myself in a rain storm in 1-2 hours. I am very handy. My previous shed was destroyed when a large tree branch fell on it in a storm. I bought this version thinking it would be easy to assemble, because the previous version was and the manual said this version was. However, this was so difficult to assemble that I hired a handyman who had previously assembled both resin and metal sheds. It took him 4 hours to assemble. When I told h...

easy to assemble!

Low profile, ample space inside for five bicycles!

Hinges and Slide Roof are Terrible

After 1 week a hinge has broke and the roof has sagged to where I can't open it unless I drag it from the back. Really disappointed in this product had high hopes due to rubbermaid reputation.

Good thought, poor design

I have had this shed for a year and the roof has never slide correctly. It bows in the middle and the hinges have broken.

Nice thought - poor design

I bouth this at this beginning of spring last year. The good: It looks NICE in the yard - doesn't look cheap or plastic, "hides" or blends in well. I like the IDEA of the roof sliding back to be able to easily access things in the back. It was fairly easy to assemble with some help to hold the pieces together tightly and properly aligned while I placed the screws. It seems to keep rain and snow out well. The bad - It has now been approximately 6 months of ownership: The doors no longer a...

Roof bows, doors bust off hinges

I purchased 3 sheds in May, 2016. All 3 have the same issues. The hinges have broken on all three. I replaced the hinges on one of the sheds within a week of being assembled. The roofs of all 3 are bowed down from the weight of the roof. It's a 2-person job to slide roof back. Someone needs to be inside and push up on the front section while the other person pushes that section back over the back section. Absolutely made sure ground was level. One is on asphalt. The other two sit on blocks that ...

Another broken hinge

Same problem as everyone else. Bought the shed in 2012, and I'm about to buy my 3rd hinge. Wish it were a steal hinge. Roof doesn't work correctly. It'd be nice to have a door handle too. Not a bad shed for the price and the size, but I wish it were better quality.

I like the Shed. But...

I just bought three of these and put them together, with a helper ( my brother :) ). Let me start with the weak/negative(s), and progress to the positives, then some recommended homeowner tech. suggestions. Weak: 1. Door Hinge System. little torque / stress bearing. One has failed me within minutes of assembly. The top hinge brackets are a very rigid plastic, non forgiving with temperature ( 38 deg. F.). A gust of wind came, and the way the door system is designed, the door put pressure on the...

Broken hinge and jammed roof

I bought this over the summer. First sign of a slight cold day (45 deg) and the lower left hinge pin broke. Also after I assembled the shed, all things worked great. The next week I tried to push back the roof and it jammed against the rear roof. Very disappointed to see all of the reviews with the exact same problems I'm having with my unit. I suggest a redesign of the unit to correct these issues.
