Hey Everyone,
I'm planning on purchasing one of these and was wondering with these dimensions: 6ft L x 5ft W x 2ft H would it fit going downstairs into the basement of a cape cod style house-haven't yet measured anything, but was curious to know if any of you had any problems...

Thanks all!

John

What you can do is pick up a bunch of cardboard boxes (people give them away all the time on craiglist), cut them open and build a cube size (6ft L x 5ft W x 2ft H); then with the help of a buddy, try to carry that down the stair without crushing it, if it works then go ahead and get the Rubbermaid.

all you have to do is stand it on end it will turn around the doorways. i moved mine through my house to where i have it now for a sump.
 
Thanks guys, yeah I was thinking about building something like cafe said-I just don't wanna buy it then scratch my head saying-well now what?!?!? I see it as better safe then sorry! Thats why I was curious to see if anyone brought one of these into the basement w/o any problems...
 
NOTE: I just measured the staircase leading to the basement of the house I live in now, and from the stairs to the beam is 4ft-diagonally (if bringing an object downstairs)
I'm hoping that the house I'm moving to has a more "fitting" basement!
 
The main criteria for my next house is a "fitting" basement. At this point, an basement will do.
