Rubbermaid sheds are well know for producing plastic sheds and home storage solutions in the USA but the unique factor of Rubbermaid storage sheds is that they address the problem of bicycle storage in a modular way. This modular bike storage system means that if one of their sheds is big enough to store a bicycle then the chances are that you will be able to use one of their storage systems to keep your bike safe and sound.
Cheap sheds simply will not cut it when it comes to storing your bicycle in a way which keeps it from falling over or taking up unnecessary floor space in your shed. These cheap garden sheds offer no way of being able to fix or hang your bike from the walls and this is a big short coming in their bike storage ability. You would probably be surprised to learn that even some of the bigger manufacturers of plastic sheds like Suncast Sheds do not have any accessories that allow for storing bicycles in their sheds. Unlike regular sheds and garages you cannot simply screw a bracket in to the wall of a plastic shed as it will not support the weight of a bicycle regardless of how light it is.
If you buy a Rubbermaid Shed you will not have to deal with these problems – sure it may cost a little bit more than a cheaper brand of shed but if it does what you want it to, prevents your bike from damage and stops your bike from being stolen then it is money well spent. So how do Rubbermaid do it then?
To start with you will need to buy a Rubbermaid storage shed, they come in all sorts of sizes and shapes from full size shed to lower horizontal sheds. Once you’ve decided on the space you have available and the size and style of shed you want you can take a look at the accessories available. Most of the accessories revolve around their Rubbermaid FastTrack Rail – this rail fixes to the side walls of the shed and allows a variety of attachments to then be fitted to the shed wall. One of the accessories that you can but for this rail is the Rubbermaid 5E03 FastTrack Horizontal Bike Rack and this will allow you to support a bike from its top tube and free up valuable floor space. The bike rack is rubber coated so it will not damage your bike in any way. Rubbermaid also produce the Rubbermaid 5E02 FastTrack Vertical Bike Hook that will allow you to hang a bike from its front wheel – if you have a number of bikes to store then this could be a more space efficient solution than the horizontal bike rack particularly if they are smaller children’s bikes.
To conclude this post a Rubbermaid garden shed is one of the best sheds on the market due to the fact they produce purpose designed bike storage systems that are easy to fit and more importantly easy to use.
