After having owned this for less than 2 years, the door is already broken (from the wind, no less - not my kids). The plastic is thin and not very durable, and the warranty is virtually non-existant. I've had much better experience with Rubbermaid sheds in the past and would definetly recommend something other than this product.

The advertising blurb says it's maintenance free but that's not really true. I live in northern Maryland which gets a variety of weather. I have my unit placed beside a row of Leland Cypress trees which provides some shelter. This should be good but it isn't because the trees allow dirt, chlorophyl, and bird droppings to collect.

The problem is that you can't clean it. I've tried almost every commercially available cleaner including Chlorox Cleanup and a strong detergent solution of ammonia. The soil seems to have been absorbed into the plastic. I've been working at it for a total of 4 days now and it still isn't clean. Unfortunately, there is no indication of what kind of plastic it is so there's no way to determine how to clean it.

It works well; I've had an electric lawnmower, a professional edger, and other items in it for several years with no problems - except that it is an unsightly eyesore! I would never buy another one by this manufacturer.

I've had mine sitting outside, not under any roof, in the rain, sun,freezing weather, wind, whatever minor weather we have here in the Monterey Bay area. I've had ten boxes of books in it for the last four years. They are completely mold free after four years of storage with the door shut. The only thing that got in was snails - they ate the print off the cardboard boxes. In future, I'll store the books in plastic boxes, but the cardboard boxes are fine as long as you put a piece of paper over the top so the snails don't get to the books. All three doors still work like brand new. There's a plastic bolt on one door that you can push down for securing. One door holds the other one shut. Excellent product for this kind of storage, I'm buying a second, and maybe a third. It sits on the ground, but is up high enough so that the rain has never flooded inside it.Highly recommended.
