Duramax 4X8 Sidemate A Quality Choice

By Viktoria Kelly


What are the key features one should consider when looking for a quality storage shed for the backyard or garden? Securing your valuables like tools and gardening equipment would be a high priority for most people. Something that will provide such protection to keep thieves and vandals at bay would be important. It must have sufficient space to house all your storage needs. While this may all seem obvious to most folk, finding a shed that meets all your needs can be a more difficult than you think.

A modern concept that has replaced the traditional wooden shed these days is the vinyl shed. While there are various makes of such products on the market. Namely Duramax vinyl sheds are definitely the leaders in this field. Vinyl is highly durable material for the most part is maintenance free. While Duramax offer quite a varied range of yard sheds in all sizes, here we are looking the Duramax 4x8 Sidemate vinyl shed which is an iconic little shed from the company.



The Duramax Sidemate is designed to sit on the side of a house or a fence, providing a narrow profile which can be useful for utilizing tight spaces which might otherwise be wasted. The hard vinyl exterior provides durable shielding against the elements, keeping everything inside stored dryly and securely. Vinyl sheds are an excellent solution to outdoor storage, resisting common problems suffered by metal sheds such as denting or rusting, or the pitfalls of wood such as mildew and rot. The highly resilient plastic is also fire retardant, though fortunately we have not tested to what degree.

Offering some 190 cubic feet of storage space at 8ft long and 4ft wide, the Duramax 4x8 Sidemate vinyl shed is adequate for most home owners who need a modest storage shed for general storage. The extra height on one side with the lean-to roof gives an added advantage for taller items and this lean-to design will handle any amount of snow or rain water in the winter months due to its steel reinforced roof structure. Likewise the vinyl siding is reinforced with steel uprights that make it easy to fix shelves or other shed accessories all available from Duramax or an authorized dealer like "Storage Sheds Direct".

A handy feature of the Duramax Sidemate is the fact it comes with a foundation floor kit that simplifies the whole assembly process. Once the floor kit is assembled and levelled one has the option to fill it with some concrete or to sheet it with plywood. Depending on the degree you want to take it to, the concrete will sure provide a stable base if you plan to set it on dirt but if one already has a concrete pad the plywood option will be an added advantage and will help to slightly elevate your floor away from dampness. The Sidemate doesn't lack in its integrity when it comes to floor options.

Another feature that makes the Sidemate vinyl shed so popular it the fact that you can place the door on either end of the building. This makes the shed universal in that it will suit any door opening situation that one requires front or back. At 30" wide it provides substantial access for this size of shed for most home owners to get their gear in and out. The door comes with pre-hung hinges and the handles are also fitted with padlock eyes that allow for a standard padlock to secure your yard shed.

As sheds go the Duramax 4x8 sidemate vinyl shed is a well-constructed storage shed that will suit any kind of climate from hot to cold which is due to Duramax's high spec vinyl formula that will not rust, rot or mildew under the elements or over time. Its reinforced construction will provide a quality storage space that will last a lifetime and even carries a Duramax 15 year warranty that supersedes any other brand. As for maintenance all this shed needs is a hose down with soap and water and it will look as good as new again. The verdict; if you want a reliable storage shed for your backyard this season, you won't go too far wrong with a Duramax 4x8 Sidemate vinyl shed.
