Questions & Answers for Small Storage Shed

Question

The anchors are too small for Rubbermaid FastTrack uprights. Are there other shelving options?

I recently purchased this shed, as well as 25" Rubbermaid FastTrack Uprights and two 4' shelves (actually one 8' shelf cut in half). However, I can't mount them to the back of the shed because the uprights are 1" deep, which is the same as the anchors. So when the anchors are inserted into the slots, they extend less than half an inch from the wall. I either need deeper anchors (at least 1.5") or shallower uprights, or if there's no other choice, longer bolts (but that seems like a bad idea because the bolts would torque). What do you recommend? Does Rubbermaid make shallower FastTrack uprights?

The uprights that can be used with the wall anchors for this shed are part of our Twin Track System (for wood shelving) sold at Home Depot or the HomeFree System (for wire shelving) sold at Lowe's.

Question

Hang a hook from the ceiling?

I am curious if there is any way to hang a hook from/near the ceiling of this shed. I am hoping to hang a roughly 30lb, 70" recumbent trike from the ceiling (with a hook not unlike the FastTrack Vertical Bike Hook). Is there any way to do this?

Accessories or hooks should not be attached to the ceiling of our storage sheds. Weight pulling down on the roof panels could cause irreversible damage and/or injury.

We do not currently offer an extension/expansion kit for our sheds. The sheds should not be combined to make larger sheds.

Question

Accessory Bracket

I bought the Roughneck 4.6 x 2.3 . 6.4 from Lowes & discovered the issue with shelf installation: only 2 accessory brackets were included & neither Lowes or you seem to have them available to purchase additional brackets. Where does one get them in order to add shelves and peg board?

Question

Shelves?

I recently purchased one of these units, or one very similar, from Home Depot. It showed in the pictures that you can install shelves. HD does not sell them and directed me to go directly to Rubbermaid. Do you sell the shelves for this? Thanks

Question

Where can I find information on accessories?

We love our Rubbermaid storage shed, but are frustrated with the information available at your site regarding organizing options. One of the FAQs asks about adding a shelf. When I read the answer, I thought great now I can find what I need as it is only a week old. What I found was the answer was not specific enough. I don't know what product page they are referring to. I went to to the main product page for outdoor and found some links (at least one had a picture I could use for ideas) but I can't find a link with organizing options and a shopping list. Maybe adding a link from the product page to accessory information and ideas would be helpful to others as well.

The Roughneck sheds are available in only one color. The wall and door panels are Faint Maple and the roof and floor panels are Onyx.

Our sheds are made of polyethylene. One of the features of these plastics is that they are easy to clean because materials do not adhere well to them. Unfortunately, this property prevents adhesives or paints from sticking well. We know of no way to change this fundamental property of the plastic at the point of use.
