Low and wide
ZZM horizontal storage sheds
- 9 sizes
- 10 to 48 cubic feet
- $112.97 and up
A horizontal box is under fifty inches tall, which is the height that clears a window sill and a deck rail. You open it from the front or the top rather than walking in, and it takes the things that lie down: cushions, hoses, bags of soil, a folded chair.
What to check on this one
The trade is reach. A low box is easier to place and harder to dig through, so it suits things you take out whole rather than a wall of small tools. If the spot is against the house under a window, measure the sill height first and treat it as the ceiling; every capacity below is quoted with the outside height next to it.
If two of these are close, the door opening decides rather than the cubic feet. ZZM standards put the ground before the volume.
Questions
Questions about ZZM horizontal storage sheds
How long does a ZZM shed take you to put together?
The mid-size resin boxes come out at about two hours for one person with an electric screwdriver, which is the figure the assembly notes give. The walk-ins are a two-person job: the wall panels are six feet and awkward rather than heavy.
Will a ZZM shed take your lawn mower?
It depends on the door opening, not the cubic feet. Front-door sizes take a push mower with the handle folded; a lift-up lid will not. Measure your deck width, usually about 22 inches, and check it against the opening on the page.
Can you store fuel or a propane cylinder in a ZZM shed?
Treat it as no. Gasoline and diesel are ignitible liquids with their own national rules about approved containers and quantities, and propane has a separate limit again. Tools, furniture, bins and lawn chemicals in their original labelled containers are what a box like this is for: and the chemicals want to be away from the mower rather than beside it.
