Are the bottom edges secure against the ground, enough so that raccoons couldn't wriggle under there? Looking to store trash bins.

We have ours on cement for bike storage. I would think so if put on grass and auger's used to secure.

I would say wouldn't work. The tarp just lays on the ground and is only secure at the posts. If the animals want to get in there. They will get in there. I had problems with mice nesting in my lawn tractor in mine. I hope his helps

The short answer no, the flaps of material fan out on the ground, even if attached to the ground a racoon could still get under it.

It isn't secured. The bins just sit within the frame so the workers who collect the recycling can lift them off. I've never had a problem with them falling off the caddy when I'm wheeling it.

I believe it would....we have it in corner over litter box and it's great for storing cat stuff....and it look so nice!!! We love it!!

If you are putting bins on it, there should be no problem, as long as the floor is stable.

There is no bottom. Once I had a problem with a raccoon or possum trying to tunnel underneath it. Problem solved by using bricks buried under the edge.

There are several vertical ridges on the underside of the bin, I don't really think this would work for your intended use.

Hale,I hang this off a dedicated trash can for litter disposal. The bottom of the holder is flat and might be capable of free storage.

The "legs" are positioned on the outside of the bottom piece within the groove located there. Once the top is in position, they will be secure. Be Patient!

I don't have any firm answer. I have several heavy bags of soil conditioners, etc. on the bottom shelves, and some heavy items on the upper ones. I don't see any problems with holding heavy items, as long as they are arranged to the bottom. This is a well designed, sturdy shelf. I have it outside, and some strong winds haven't affected it at all.

I think so. It is very VERY sturdy. I have caught both raccoons and squirrels in these.

It would be tight. Maybe standing on end next to each other? I have a large plastic garbage can, two smaller bird seed containers, a mettal bucket and a few other samll items. For sure would hold one, maybe two stacked on top of each other???

Squirrels can get suet through the bottom. I have mine partially bloched with the tops of two cat food cans.

We live next to a wildlife refuge and are inundated with fox, raccoons, etc. and have never had a problem. The latch system that closes it is similar to what might be on a toolbox - you hook a metal loop over at protrusion and them push down the lever to secure - don't think even the clevest raccoon could manage that and the plastic is thick and off the ground so they'd have a hard time chewing through. We've had ours for about 2 years (even order a second one) and have never had a problem.

Yes, that's how I store mine. Probably wouldn't suggest kids to climb all over it though : )

Bottom of composter about 2 feet from the ground. No rodent problems-constructed well and seems to be rodent proof!

No the bottom of the litter box has ridges that are very low. It appears to be well made

I purchased this tent as a Christmas gift so, I really don't know. I/we had one like this a few years back and we put giant trash bags under it to help keep the tent clean and also to keep the bottom for getting damp. Hope this help.
