Does anyone have a Rubbermaid Big Max or Big Max Jr shed. If so, can
you tell me the height of the walls (i.e. the height without the roof)
in inches?
I need a shed and my HOA has a limitation of 6 feet (fence height). I
was wondering if I could build the Big Max shed and modify the roof so
it is almost flat.
I looked at some of the metal sheds that were shorter, but reviews
were bad- took two days to put together, parts did not align, parts
bent...

Yes, those are the sheds to which I am referring. However, the
dimensions they give is total peak height.
I'm not talking about building a shed. Just the roof.

Not intentionally knocking you but can't you tell by looking at it with the
dimensions provided?

The idea of putting a roof on a pre-made Rubbermaid shed seems silly. IMO

The dimensions stated a

#3713 Big Max Jr. 84 x 42 x 95 in

So ASSuming that 95" is the hight to the peak, then using a screen
scale on the photo I estimate about 73" for the wall height.

What did you get?

Modifying it would be a kludge. Excavate down and have the first
earth-sheltered shed in existence!

Yeah, I estimated 70 to 75 inches based on that peak.

Yep, a friend suggested in jest that I bury it and have it rise out of
the ground when I press a button.

Well, I just took a peek at mine - 73 3/4" to the top of the walls/
doors measured from the bricks I have it sitting on. I'm not sure if
I'd build the roof as you're planning of just build a shed from
scratch (or cut down a wood one that would be easier to work with).
There are benefits both ways and it depends on your criteria - cost,
ease, time...
