Ratings & Reviews for Rubbermaid 2.5-ft x 2-ft Multiple colors/finishes Gable Roof Plastic Resin Storage Shed

Serves the purpose

I have an older storage box of the same series, so I thought to get this one to store long garden tools etc. The older storage box has done OK for 5 years now, my only complain is that the drop down lid has warped up at the ends and is not totally waterproof. The new unit has just arrived, so I can only comment in what I see at this time: 1- No shelves and the Rubber Maid hooks that they have don't seem to be compatible with this unit, so will need to get others and make some holes carefully i...

Decent tool shed but not rodent resistant

The website description states: Weather-resistant and Maintenance Free: no rot, no rust, no problems. Beware of the "weather-resistant" and "no problems" claim. Turns out squirrels love Rubbermaid products, too. This shed is placed against a concrete-block stucco wall. Squirrels apparently sit on the wall and nibble on the edges, creating leaky holes across the top rear side. Although Rubbermaid isn't responsible for rodent behavior, my advice is: do not place this shed along a fence where roden...

Not totally happy with my purchase

I bought two of these sheds. They sit side by side outside. No problem making shelves with plywood. One has now bowed on the sides causing the shelves to fall. Product is now probably out of warranty. Very disappointed!

Doors need stiffeners

I like rubbermaid. But the doors on this shed need stiffeners. Else, the doors will warp badly. Ruberrmaid's larger shed has the same type of doors and a metal stiffener installed to keep them from warping. The doors on this shed have space for the stiffeners and detents for the screws, but no stiffeners are included. This would be one of Rubbermaid's best sheds if only the stiffeners were included.

Great small shed

I bought 2 of these about 5 years ago. They are durable a perfect for me to store patio umbrellas, folding chairs, and other tall things. The shed is not large but they are the perfect size to fit of the side of my house where i don't have a lot of space.

Hard to put together

Heard Rubbermaid was a good product. You will need at least 2 people to put this together. The screw holes on the roof and floor you will need to make starter holes with a drill bit it will make things a whole lot easier (found this out the hard way). You need the second person to help put the back on and hold down the roof edges. The doors bowed out - still haven't figured out how to fix it. Overall extremely disappointed.

Bowing walls

We purchased our Rubbermaid shed about 4 years ago and are very pleased with it! The only concern I have is over time it has taken a toll on the walls. Specifically at the seems. I am hoping you can answer my question Rubbermaid which is; do you have anything, products, accessories that would help reinforce the walls and take out some of the bow in the walls? Other than that it has been a fantastic shed and even at that wear and tear happens. Thank you for a fantastic product!

NO SHELVES!!!!

the picture on the box shows shelves, the description on the website says shelves sold separately, reality is that there are no shelves. if you need shelves you will have to buy plywood and cut them to fit yourself weird rear angles and all....or buy a different shed

Rating...Okay.

Just assembled this product. Lock Hasp is missing, and hold times are long. I cant request the missing piece online...so Im holding... and Holding. I kinda wish they sold shelves...or it came with some,... And it does seem that the 9.25 inch dept that the template shelves will offer is wasteful,.... as the shed is a good 5 inches deeper.. I expected more for my money. It was VERY easy to assemble...and looks good on my deck..Im sure it will work fine for my purposes. Jasmine just answered at the...

As Advertised

I am very pleased with the medium shed. It is exactly how I envisioned when I purchased it off the website.

Doors are poorly designed and won't stay in place

I bought this product over the 4 of the July weekend and installed it the next day. The instructions, packaging, assembly all went great except when I got to the last step to install the two doors. The design system for the hinge is not designed properly. The door keeps coming off the hole and will not stay in place. It's only been few days and I'm seeing the problem. I can only imagine this will get worst over time.

Easy Assembly Lots of Room

I put this together by myself in about 45 minutes. All the holes were pre-punched and the pieces fit perfectly together. I never needed to use the rubber mallet. This is a solid shed and we are using it to store our pool rafts and misc pool items. Great choice!

awesome

I do love it. Simple. People should be happy with simple comments.

Great out-door storage

I have owned a Rubbermaid shed for years. This shed is great for storing my lawnmower, bikes, tools, etc. I need a new door, my right side door was damaged by snow and ice and the piece that inserts into the shed broke off. I have been to Home Depot and they reccomended I contact the manf.

Garbage

This shed is so flimsy that it barely stays together in perfect conditions. Doors are a complete joke. Costco has some sheds that look high quality. They have real doors. The doors on here u can easily pop off. Junk Junk Junk. Totally wasted my $ and Time...

Not What I Expected

I too fell victim to the no shelves dilemma. I bought this product the end of May, 2012. Went to the trouble of cutting wood shelves. Now, less than two years later, the outer walls of the shed have bowed and separated at the bottom. We have kept it under the patio under cover and expected a lot more for the price we paid and the quality we expected from the Rubbermaid name. Next time we will purchase a metal shed.

Just what I wanted!

It may be too early to give the storage shed a 5* (before I see how it handles a Phoenix summer), but for right now, I am delighted. I assembled the storage unit all by myself --and I've never assembled one before. It went together easily and seems sturdy....and just the size I was hoping for. The only thing I would change is the color of the roof. I don't know why it is black but in Arizona, that usually adds about 15 degrees to the inside. I spray painted it to match the rest.

We love this shed!

Our experience with this shed is completely opposite of several other reviewers. We loved how easy it was to assemble. We've had it for over a year, and it's still like new. We did take our time to make sure the ground was level before assembling it... so maybe that's what makes such a big difference in our experience. We love it!

poor matching products

Great shed. However, I bought it to install shelves. It has attachments to do the rubbermaid shelves. However, somebody at ruubermaid forgot to talk to each other. The new fast tract shelve's depth is too long to attach.
