Overview
A 5.9 x 3.7 foot resin horizontal storage shed with a soft-close hinged lid, gas-shock lift assist, and front doors, sized to hold two 96-gallon trash cans, bikes, or firewood.
This is a horizontal, low-profile shed rather than a walk-in structure, aimed at hiding trash cans and yard gear along a side yard rather than storing large equipment upright.
- 5.9 x 3.7 feet, about 70 cubic feet of storage
- Gas-shock lift plus soft-close hinged lid
- Front-opening doors and top-loading lid
- Holds two 96-gallon cans, bikes, or firewood
Who it's for
Homeowners who need to hide trash cans, bikes, or yard tools along a side yard or small backyard space, and are willing to spend a couple of hours on assembly. Not for anyone needing tall standing storage or expecting furniture-grade long-term durability.
Pros and cons
- Gas shocks and soft-close hinge make the lid easy and safe to use
- Holds two 96-gallon cans or a mix of bikes, tools, and equipment
- Water-resistant resin construction with a floor
- Front doors plus top lid give two ways to load and unload
- Assembly instructions widely described as confusing or poorly labeled
- Held together mostly with screws into plastic, raising long-term durability questions for one reviewer
- Takes two to three hours to assemble, best with two people
