Suncast discontinued the GS4000 Vertical Garden Shed. The closest current equivalent is the Suncast BMS5700 Vertical Shed, reviewed below, with the original GS4000 specification kept at the end for reference.
The GS4000 was a 60 cubic foot upright shed for long-handled tools, and it is no longer made. Suncast still builds the same shape, and the BMS5700 is the model that lines up most closely on size and features.
The Replacement: Suncast BMS5700 Vertical Shed
Same idea as the GS4000: the Suncast BMS5700 is a narrow, tall shed that stands against a wall and swallows rakes, spades and strimmers without eating the garden.
- Capacity: 54 cubic feet, against 60 on the GS4000
- Exterior: 4 ft 5 in W x 2 ft 8.5 in D x 5 ft 11.5 in H
- Interior: 4 ft 1 in W x 2 ft 4.25 in D x 5 ft 9.5 in H
- Construction: multi-wall resin with UV protection and a water-resistant design
- Doors: double doors with adjoining handles that take a padlock, sold separately, plus a resin lower latch
- Floor: reinforced, rated for heavier items
- Shelving: three sets of notches for up to three adjustable shelves, shelves not included
- Warranty: 10-year limited

How It Compares to the GS4000
| GS4000 (discontinued) | BMS5700 (current) | |
|---|---|---|
| Capacity | 60 cu ft | 54 cu ft |
| Exterior | 56 x 39.25 x 72.75 in | 53 x 32.5 x 71.5 in |
| Interior | 49.5 x 31.5 x 67.5 in | 49 x 28.25 x 69.5 in |
| Shelving | Supports for one wood shelf, not included | Notches for up to three shelves, not included |
| Door lock | Padlock hasp plus foot latch | Padlock provision plus resin lower latch |
| Warranty | Limited | 10-year limited |
The BMS5700 is slightly smaller in every direction and about six cubic feet down on capacity. What it gains is shelving flexibility, three shelf positions against the GS4000’s single wooden shelf support, and a longer warranty.
The One Thing to Get Right
Anchor it. The most common complaint about the GS4000 was that it could blow over in high wind, and that is a property of tall, light, empty resin sheds rather than a fault in that particular model. The BMS5700 has the same profile and the same exposure. Fix it down to a level base and the problem disappears.
The other GS4000 quirk carries over too: a tall shed is excellent for long tools and poor for small ones, which end up in a heap on the floor. Owners solved it with a hanging wire basket, and the BMS5700’s three shelf positions make that easier than it was before.

Is the Suncast GS4000 still made?
No. Suncast discontinued it. Any listing you find now is old stock from a third-party seller. The BMS5700 Vertical Shed is the closest current model.
Is the BMS5700 as big as the GS4000?
Almost. It holds 54 cubic feet against the GS4000’s 60, and is slightly smaller in every exterior dimension. For long-handled tools the usable height is close enough that most people will not notice.
Do vertical sheds blow over?
An empty one can, which is the most common complaint about every shed in this shape. Anchor it to a level base and the problem goes away. Do not rely on the weight of what is stored inside.
Does the BMS5700 come with shelves?
No. It has notches for up to three adjustable shelves, but the shelves are sold separately. Budget for them, because a tall shed without shelves wastes most of its volume.
