ZZM trash can storage sheds
- 5 sizes
- 37 to 57 cubic feet
- $277.32 and up
Two wheeled bins stand about forty-two inches tall and take a strip roughly fifty inches wide between them. That is the measurement that rules out most boxes, and it is why the sizes gathered here are wide and low rather than tall.
What to check on this one
Check the lid clearance as well as the floor: a bin has to tip back to roll, and a box with a lift-up lid needs the room above it. If the cans live against the house, the front-door sizes are easier to use, because you pull the bin straight out instead of lifting it over a sill.
Each one below carries its footprint, and the shelf sets that fit it are linked from its page. ZZM standards put the ground before the volume.
Questions
Questions about ZZM trash can 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.
