Question

Are there older Big Max Sheds that don't allow accessory install?

I have a big max 7x7 purchased at home depot Canada about 3 years ago. I really want accessories such as shelves or hooks. How can I tell what accessories I can use? I don't have a model number.

Question

foundation

In comparing the sheds at Home Depot (in my price range), the Rubbermaid Big Max 7 x 7 storage shed comes with a foundation. All the sheds I am looking at come with a floor, but this one has stated that it also comes with a foundation. What does that entail?

Question

Big Max Door Hard to Close

The door on my Big Max shed has become very hard to close. The top doesn't appear to be sag but it seems to catch the top of the door. I have to literally pull the buttom out while pushing the top in to get the door in. Is there a known fix to this problem?
Thank you.

Question

I have Big Maxx 7x7. LOVE IT!

We are in Colorado and I was wondering if anyone figured out a way to attach the walls to the floor so the shed can't blow away. We have the floor attached to the ground but are afraid that the walls will just pop up and blow away.

Question

Can I disassemble and reassemble the 5H80 shed?

After completely assembling the shed, I question the quality of the foundation which is sloping concrete modified with concrete to make level. If I disassemble the shed and attempt to reassemble, will all of the new screw holes be comprised or will the screws tighten securely?

If the shed needs to be disassembled, the screws should be backed out slowly to avoid stripping and/or tearing of the plastic. Please note it is expressed in the instructions not to over-tighten the screws when installing.

As stated in the assembly instructions, to ensure proper assembly and performance the shed needs to be built on a solid, level surface. The concrete foundation should not be sloped.

In the 5H80 Big Max, the Tool & Sports Racks can be installed "side by side", or one rack per wall panel (each side is made of two wall panels). The Racks will be approximately 8" apart when installed on the same side.

Question

Recommended foundation size for Big Max

I just purchased a Big Max 7' X 7' shed, and I want to install it in an area that has a little bit of a slope. I am afraid that if I try to compact the area that runoff will eventually make the foundation unstable, so I wanted to build a 2X4 pressure treated wood frame, cover it with 3/4" pressure treated plywood and put it on blocks, then level it. Can you tell me the exact size of the box/foundation I should use? I have been warned to make sure the shed slightly overhangs the foundation, or else water may sit on the foundation and leak into the bottom corners of the shed. Will 81 1/2" wide by 83 3/8" deep work?

Our outdoor sheds are designed and intended for storing outdoor items such as storing riding mowers, bicycles, garden tools, large powered equipment, yard supplies, trash cans or seasonal items such as ladders and snow blowers.

The floor will hold the weight of such items provided the shed is placed on the recommended cement of wood platform foundation.
