How to Assemble a Rubbermaid Storage Shed

Rubbermaid has been manufacturing houseware and other items for your home and garden since the mid-1930s. The Rubbermaid outdoor storage shed can help you keep the outside of your home neat by providing storage for lawn and garden supplies, sports equipment, or even your garbage cans. To keep your items safe from theft, the doors on your Rubbermaid shed are lockable. Rubbermaid storage sheds are maintenance-free and will not rot or fade. It takes only a few tools and not much time to assemble one.

Instructions

    • 1

      Select a spot on your lawn to place your shed. It should be flat, level, and have good drainage.

      Place the roof panel on its side and have a helper hold it in place. Place the right-hand side wall (all parts are marked) on its side and line up the tabs in the wall with the slots in the right-hand side of the roof panel. Push the wall into the roof panel until it snaps into place. Repeat for the left-hand side wall.

    • 3

      Lay the back wall in between the side walls. Make sure the words "back panel" are facing upright. Push the tabs in the back wall panel into the slots in the roof panel until it snaps into place.

      Slide the floor panel in between the side panels and push it down until the tabs in the floor panel snap into place on the back wall panel. Make sure the word "floor" on the floor panel is facing upward toward the roof panel. Use a rubber hammer and lightly tap the floor panel until it snaps into place if necessary.
