Suncast discontinued the GS2000 Garbage Can Storage Shed. The closest current equivalent is the Suncast Stow-Away BMS4720, reviewed below, with the original GS2000 specification kept at the end for reference.
If you came here looking for the GS2000, it is gone. Suncast has not made it for years, and the listings that still appear are third-party sellers clearing old stock at inflated prices. The good news is that the design carried straight over into the Stow-Away line, which does the same job in a larger, better-built box.
The Replacement: Suncast Stow-Away BMS4720
The Suncast Stow-Away BMS4720 is the current shed for hiding bins. It keeps the two things that made the GS2000 useful, a lift-up lid and front-opening doors, and adds a great deal more room. Amazon lists it by size rather than model number, as the 5.9 ft by 3.7 ft Horizontal Stow-Away.
- Capacity: 70 cubic feet, against 30 on the old GS2000
- Exterior: 5 ft 10.5 in W x 3 ft 7.75 in D x 4 ft 4 in H
- Interior: 5 ft 5.5 in W x 3 ft 2 in D x 4 ft 0.5 in H
- Bin capacity: up to two 96-gallon wheeled containers, where the GS2000 took two 30-gallon cans
- Construction: steel-reinforced multi-wall resin, UV and water resistant
- Lid: gas shocks for one-handed opening and a soft-close hinge, an upgrade on the old prop rod
- Security: built-in locking provision, padlock sold separately
- Warranty: 10-year limited

How It Compares to the GS2000
| GS2000 (discontinued) | BMS4720 (current) | |
|---|---|---|
| Capacity | 30 cu ft | 70 cu ft |
| Bins held | Two 30-gallon cans | Two 96-gallon containers |
| Exterior | 55 x 37 x 39 in | 70.5 x 43.75 x 52 in |
| Lid | Manual prop rod | Gas shocks, soft close |
| Construction | Single-wall resin | Steel-reinforced multi-wall resin |
| Warranty | Limited | 10-year limited |
The jump from 30 to 70 cubic feet is the main thing to plan for. The BMS4720 needs noticeably more wall space than the GS2000 did, so measure before ordering rather than assuming it drops into the same spot.
Who It Suits
This is the right buy if you are hiding wheeled bins from the street and want the space to also take a mower or bikes. If you only need to cover one standard can, it is far more shed than you need, and Suncast sells single Trash Hideaway units in the same range that cost a fraction as much.
If the bins are not the point and you want general storage of a similar size, our Suncast horizontal storage shed review and Rubbermaid horizontal storage shed review cover the closest alternatives. The Suncast Glidetop is worth a look if overhead clearance is tight, because the lid slides rather than lifting.
What the Original GS2000 Offered
Kept for anyone researching the old model or buying one secondhand.
- Capacity: 30 cubic feet, holding two 30-gallon cans
- Assembled size: 55 W x 37 D x 39 H inches
- Interior: 49 W x 31 D x 33 H inches
- Weight: 75 pounds
- Design: lift lid with prop, plus central barn-style doors, both lockable
- Assembly: snap-together, no tools needed
- Also sold in: 20 and 45 cubic foot sizes
Owner feedback was consistently good on value, easy assembly and the door design. The two recurring complaints were that it needed clear height above it for the lid to open, and that the empty shed was light enough to shift in wind if it was not anchored. Both apply just as much to the BMS4720.
Is the Suncast GS2000 still available?
No. Suncast discontinued it and no longer supplies parts for it. Listings that still show up are third-party sellers with old stock, usually well above the original price. The Stow-Away BMS4720 is the current equivalent.
What is the closest current model to the GS2000?
The Suncast Stow-Away BMS4720. It keeps the same lift-lid plus front-doors design and holds two 96-gallon wheeled bins, against the GS2000’s two 30-gallon cans.
Will a garbage can shed stop animals getting into the bins?
A latched resin shed stops birds, cats and most raccoons, which is the usual problem. It is not bear-proof, and no resin shed is. The lid latch matters more than the shed itself here.
Does it need to sit on a level base?
Yes. On uneven ground the doors stop lining up and the lid will not seat properly, which is the single most common cause of water getting in. A flat, well-drained spot does more for a shed like this than any feature on the spec sheet.
