Suncast 129-Gal. Weather-Resistant Resin Outdoor Deck Storage Box and Bench, Taupe

If I had chosen a patio storage box "to small" it would have been useless to me. I needed something large enough to contain my pools Solar cover. Once folded and rolled up the pool cover required a storage box big enough and solid enough to hold a heavy gauge vinyl cover that is nearly five feet long and twenty four inches in diameter. This Suncast 129-Gallon box has worked out great so far. There is room to spare and it went together in fifteen minutes. All the parts are plastic but fit together very well. Begin by snapping the walls to one another and then to its base. The cover fit snug but does not lock but a provision is molded into the cover so a cable style lock could be used. I'm pleased with my purchase so far. I live in Phoenix so Sun and Heat could take its toll in a short time? I plan to apply a plastic / vinyl protector spray on product to aid in its longevity. It could double as a bench seat but I wouldn't do so on a regular basis, after all its just plastic.

I needed some large, water proof and weather resistant outdoor storage boxes that are easy to clean and require minimum maintenance. These fit the bill perfectly and didn't break the bank. Yes, they are made of thin resin and seem flimsy, but the ribbed design makes them sturdy enough for their intended purposes. They go together easily; in high winds like we have here, they need to be tied down, and the lid must be secured. There is a provision on the front lip for tying the lid (I use a thin wire, but I don't think a padlock will fit), and you will need to devise a method for anchoring the boxes in a high wind exposure.
