We need more storage at the Live & Flip 😫
PLEASE HELP US FIND A CHEAP SOLUTION!!
Cue this affordable #rubbermaid #plastic #storage #shed
The budget will not allow for us to build a garage ($55,000) or even a wooden shed ($5,000).
This was such an easy build with moderate skills and only a couple tools. Lauren and I built it in 7 hrs, stretched out between two days. A couple very minor set backs included 1 mislabeled roof piece and hard to attach roof corners (nothing a rubber mallet couldnt fix). Other than that it was a breeze. It definitely could have been built in 1 day, maybe 5 hours without small distractions like kids and dance breaks.
Now we have a place for some tools and tripping hazards in the den. Maybe now we can wmpty out that room enough to tackle the hardwood floors.
Thanks for watching and please drop a comment or email if there is any DIY budget friendly dilemas that you need help with.

I commented on your original video as well... the anchoring system these sheds have will not stand up to storms or heavy winds. I ran a 2x4 sill plate around the inside of my shed to allow me to anchor it down to the pad (concrete pavers) and allow me to screw the side walls to it. There is just no way a handful of small screws will hold the base or sides down... they will rip right out at some point. I can guarantee that the way I anchored mine will make it stand up to the heaviest storms I see in my area (I live in Western NY)... we get winter storms with feet of snow and gusts upwards of 70 MPH. I wish I could include links to some pictures of how I did mine to help you.
Thanks for the great suggestions on both videos. I would definitely recommend the 2x4 sill plate to anyone reading these comments. Such a simple and easy way to ensure that the shed is not going anywhere. 👍🏼 👍🏼
they are JUNK
I have an 8x10 Suncast Tremont shed that I assembled 3 years ago. It's screwed down to a wooden floor made out of 2x6 joists and 5/8 plywood. We just had a storm with 80 to 100 mile per hour winds and this thing DIDN'T BUDGE, and that heavy wood floor is one of the reasons! All I have in there is two car tires on 15" steel rims in each corner and a push mower so that obviously helped keep it in place. The only water that came in was just a trickle by the front door, and that's the first time rain ever got in. To hold it down to the wood floor during construction I used about eight 1/4" lag screws & 8 wood screws, all with 3/4" fender washers. There are depressions on the floor where screws & lags go and basically used all of those. It's pretty clear Suncast makes a heck of a tough shed.
If it wasn’t for the sale and coupon that saved us $250 we would have bought the Suncast @jayryan7473 both very good products. After bolting ours down we’ve had no problems besides a little water just inside the doors 👍🏼
I found two of the 10x7 at Home Depot brand new for $1,644 delivered. Not bad storage shed if the foundation are set up right with concrete or concrete blocks
Totally agree @va52pc that’s a fantastic price. Good work by you 👍🏼
I got the 7x7 and have the exactly same problem with the doors lol on the left side the metal locks inside on the top side doesn't match so i drilled the hole and made it bigger so it fits flush and the other door same problem you have have to push it on the roof for it to close
Yeah it’s definitely annoying! I guess its the price you pay 💰 for saving money. I like the idea of drilling the hole bigger. I’ll be doing that today. Thanks for watching
Without a proper foundation of course this will happen. You need to bolt it down to the foundation then it won’t slide off or sag. Still looking for a video of a properly bolted down resin shed against 100mph winds. My metal arrow shed has been through 3 hurricanes and survived them.
We haven’t had wind that bad in my area for a while. We debated on the Arrow shed but there’s a black walnut tree right there. I was afraid it would sound like gun shots when the walnuts fell on that metal roof 😳 glad you like yours @boostedveedub9687
Great job 👍
Thanks Kevin!
stuck together like a ready made
Yes Sir @jamesderoc6717 this things isn’t going anywhere now. Do you have a plastic shed?
My experience is that Suncast Resin sheds are built a littler better.
I watched a lot of videos when we bought the Rubbermaid. It looked like they were both very similar in quality. I liked the way the Rubbermaid looked a little better with the dormer on this model. There was also a sale going on, so that was the deciding factor… $500 cheaper than the Suncast at the time. Oh yeah and free delivery
Thanks for the comment!
and the LIFETIME brand
Yes that was on the list as well
How did you attach the lights?
The lights came with a 1 inch screw. We just used that and they’ve been holding strong for almost 2 years now @l0v3li
Do you have a link to them
I believe we got them at Target @l0v3li they are small and not crazy bright but it definitely adds some character. We also painted the shed too. You would never know it was a plastic shed from a box 😆

This shed not good at all....
It's better to Build a Wooden Shed Because it's Much Stronger
I agree that a wooden shed is much stronger @norbelsmaj3870 but not everyone can afford one of those. For under $1,500 this shed is very strong and still looks fairly new after 2.5 year now. I still recommend and Rubbermaid is not sponsoring me at all
