If you have run out of space to store your things at home, the most ideal choice is to purchase a storage shed. There are many different types of storage sheds available in the market but if you do not have a lot of space to put a gigantic shed, then my suggestion is to get a vertical storage shed.
This is not the traditional kind of big walk-in storage shed. Instead it only occupies a very small floor area but it extends very high up so you actually make better use of vertical storage space. You can still store a lot of things inside, especially big items such as your rakes and even lawn mowers, things which you usually cannot fit into a cupboard. Here are some popular Rubbermaid vertical storage shed options which are very easy to put together:
- Rubbermaid 3749 Vertical Storage Shed which has 17 cubic feett of storage
- Rubbermaid 3746 Vertical Storage Shed with 52 cubic feet of storage
- Rubbermaid 3667 with lockable doors – This is one of the larger Rubbermaid storage sheds
- Rubbermaid 7083
Since these are the modern kinds of pre-fabricated storage sheds, you do not need more than a few minutes to fix up the whole shed. Before you get all excited and rush off to the nearest local hardware store to buy a vertical storage shed, there are a few points which you need to note.
1. Outdoor Storage Shed Materials
What kinds of material are you looking for? These storage sheds products are available in wood, metal, plastic and vinyl so you need to first decide which is most suitable for your needs and what price you are willing to spend. The wooden ones may look very nice but they will be heavier and you should also check if they have been sprayed with chemicals to prevent pests invasion. The metal ones are very sturdy but it depends on the designs of your garden to see if they fit in. The plastic ones are lighter while the vinyl ones are strong and durable. You should also consider extactly how much storage space you will be needing. Do you need 17-cubic ft or if your storage needs are greater you may want to consider a 121-gallon vertical storage shed. Ultimately it all depends on your personal preference, you need for shelves, accessories, the tools you have on hand and the layout of your furniture. You do not want to buy something that stands out like an eyesore!
2. Maintenance
Check with the supplier if you need to spend a lot of time in maintaining it because materials such as wood and metal will require more cleaning up to prevent rotting and rusting. The vinyl vertical storage shed is by far the easiest to maintain but it depends on what you like.
3. Budget
This is of course a vital consideration when you are looking for a suitable vertical storage shed. Different materials and quality will cost you different amount so it all depends on how much you are willing to pay. You will find some great deals and a large selection of vertical storage sheds here.
