Rigid drums become year-round lawn sculptures. Collapsible PVC barrels earn their keep in November when you want the shed back.
Drain completely
Open the spigot and lift a corner of the shell. Tilt toward the outlet — leftover water breeds algae and adds weight you do not need to carry.
Dry before you fold
A sunny afternoon on the driveway is enough. Storing damp PVC is how mildew smells start.
Fold along the factory creases
Press air out as you fold. Store flat on a shelf, not crammed upright behind the mower. Wheels stay on the base plate — keep hardware in the included bag.
Normal UV fading on outdoor PVC is expected. Seams and outlets are what the warranty covers.
