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

Roofing problem

Trying to fix the sliding roofing interference with the rear roof - no luck at all.

Easy to assy. Lots of room

Easy to assy. did it by myself. So not sure why so many on here say hard to put together but follow the instructions and 1 person can do in a few hours. Took me about 4.5 hours from the time I started to level the ground and lay pavers till the time I was done cleaning up the box

So far so good.

We built the shed on Saturday and it went together quite easily. It looks like part of the roof didn't line up but it rained a lot yesterday and I checked the shed and it was dry inside. I have a small patio and this fits perfectly. I want to add hooks to hang stuff to make more room but for now it's definitely doing the job described.

Easy to assemble. Perfect for bikes and/or lawn equipment.

Storage shef

I think the shed is worth the value. A few times I had a problem with the instructions as the parts weren’t numbered to match the illustrations. There are a few things that are s little at of alignment, but I can live with them.

Works as advertised.

Ordered this to keep the mower hidden behind a privacy fence. Works well.

Leaks like crazy

So I got this about 4 years ago. I like the concept, but because of the design, this thing leaks like crazy. Everytime it rains, the contents are soaked. I've gotten so good at dealing with this POS, that I know were to and not to put certain things. Also, the sliding roof is always jamming and hard to open. DO NOT BUY.

Shed

Perfect for our needs: fits 18 rubber made tubs (maybe the 20gal) plus 5 of the 1/2 size tubs. The roof slides 1/2 open for easy access. Front doors easy to open.

No way too open without pushing the roof back

If it didn’t take us all day to put together I would have taken it back. There is no way to open the doors unless you push the roof back first and the doors I think are backwards, how are you supposed to close the door unless you push the roof back. The directions where difficult to follow (had to keep checking to make sure I has the right parts. I was a mechanic in desert storm and I’m usually pretty good at putting things together

Perfect size

Bought this shed a few weeks ago. Put it on a treated wood platform so it would be level. Works great, I have no problems with the roof. It’s a perfect size. I have a 6’ wall in a subdivision with HOA.

Storage Shed

Downsized into a townhouse and needed extra space for bikes and yard tools. This is the perfect size and is relatively maintenance free.

I’m liking it so far.

It does exactly what I expected it to do. I wouldn’t store any valuables in there but it does keep things dry in stores it outside of my garage. All in all I would recommend the purchase to anyone. If it was sturdier I would’ve given it a five star rating, but it will serve my purpose is perfect.

so far so good

I assembled the roofs inside my garage prior to starting the rest of assembly. like others have said, it does have many screws. I didnt find the assembly difficult. If you predrill where the screws go, it makes it much easier. my only concern is that it doesn't have a vent. this may be the reason why some have complained that it warps. Time will tell I guess. assembly took about 1hr and half but that's because I had the roofs already assembled.

Practical but with some flaws....

I've used this shed for about a year to store different items in it through out the year. I have a structural shed but it is located in another section of the backyard, this is kept on the cement patio close to the house. So it gets plenty of use...however there are several flaws with some of the way it is put the together. For example, I am also having the same issue as many where the roof does not slide, looks like the plastic roof is bent or something is bent so it prevents it from sliding...

Leftover "parts"

The storage shed too 2 people over 4 hours. Not easy to assemble. I have "hooks" left over but product description said storage hooks do not come with and the instruction mention "accessory hooks" but do not say when they might go. I wish I had read the reviews on Rubbermaid site before I purchased. I will call customer service to see if they have a clue about where the accessory hooks go. Hopefully they were left out of the major assembly instructions meaning the shed would not be structurally ...

looks are decieving

i bought this shed last week the lid worked the first night never since then same problem i read everyone elese had, catches on the back lid and wont slide open
