Where To Find The Best Of Rubbermaid Outdoor Storage
Our neighbors have a large deck on the front of their home facing the lake. They have a patio set on one end and two chairs with a small drinks table on the other. They purchased a Rubbermaid outdoor storage container to place the cushions of the chairs in when they are not in use. The cushions are weather proof; however they do fade from the sun and also can get moldy if they are rained on too often. The Rubbermaid outdoor storage container is nice looking. It is a grey color with a darker gray lid. The lid is domed so the moisture runs off. They have this sitting against the wall of the house in a corner of the deck.
This year my husband and I added on to the deck on our home. We had a small deck that was big enough for two chairs, but we wanted more space so we could have an outdoor table as well as a grill on the deck. When they were working on the deck we went and picked out patio furniture for the space. We also went to a discount store to purchase the Rubbermaid outdoor storage container for the cushions. They did not have any of the large containers in the store, but the clerk told us we could go to customer service to order one. The clerk that was helping us at customer service was trying to talk to her boyfriend on her cell phone at the same time that she was taking our order. We told her that we wanted a Rubbermaid outdoor storage container. She looked up the order number and placed the order on-line. She interrupted her telephone conversation long enough to ask us if we wanted to have the container delivered to our house or to the store. We told her to have it delivered to our home. We paid for the container and left.
Several days late the carpenter that was working on our deck was in a car accident and so our project was placed on hold for two weeks. He arranged to have another carpenter finish the deck. This carpenter suggested that we have him build a wooden storage bench. This would provide additional seating on the deck along with a storage area for the cushions. This seemed like a great idea so we told him to do this. My husband said that he would use the Rubbermaid outdoor storage container for the life jackets and boat cushions.
When the Rubbermaid outdoor storage arrived it was in a flat box. It turned out to be one of their small storage sheds. The clerk must have pushed the wrong catalog number while ordering it. The invoice was marked paid in full. We put together our Rubbermaid outdoor storage shed and have it sitting by the dock for the boat cushions and life jackets.
