Customer Questions & Answers for
Roughneck Slide Lid Shed

Now it is easier than ever to store bikes, mowers and other garden tools out of site. The Rubbermaid Roughneck Slide Lid Shed is short enough to fit under standard fence heights yet has ample room to hold everything from long-handled tools to riding or push lawn mowers. Rollers on the roof make it easy to slide the lid back to access all the items stored in the shed. Included Wall Anchors allow you to easily organize your belongings inside the shed.

Would you recommend a foundation?

Do we need to pour concrete or lay bricks in order to stabilize this shed, or will it be fine to just set on the grass?

To ensure proper assembly and performance of the shed, it does need to buy built on a solid, level surface. A concrete or patio surface, or a treated-wood platform is recommended.

The dimensions for the shed are measured from the outermost and innermost areas. The outer dimensions will include any roof overhang and the inner dimensions would be made from the smallest area of the shed.

We carried it flat in an SUV with the back hatch opened and tied with a rope. My husband and I (over 65years) slid it out to the ground, and took the pieces out of the box. The box itself is a little heavy to lift and carry, but small enough so it can be pushed and turned.

answer 2
The doors open more than full width -- they swing back at least 45 degrees. In fact, a very strong wind blew back the left door so fast that the top holding bracket snapped. The door was not damaged. I've ordered a replacement bracket. which will be easy to install. I think I'm going to use a Velcro strap on the inside to prevent the door from opening too far.
Also, you have to have a lock or "S" ring to keep the doors closed when not in use.
These are minor inconveniences because the size is perfect, and the shed is unobtrusive tucked next to my deck... The top of the shed is deck height.
