Outdoor Storage Boxes

About Outdoor Storage Boxes

Whether a shed or essential storage bin, outdoor storage is meant to store items used in the yard or patio. 

In windy weather, a lockable outdoor deck box keeps the cover from being exposed and keeps local wildlife away from the courtyard pillow material or taking garden supplies such as planting seeds. In addition, they safeguard the materials from rain, sun, and snow damage.

They also prevent things from blowing away in the wind. Because they are all-season, one can store pillows in a wooden outdoor storage box before an unpredicted storm. Moreover, one can keep garden tools organized by storing them as well.

Outdoor Storage Boxes Storage Capacity

It's crucial to know if the chosen outdoor storage boxes are weather resistant. In addition, crafty pests such as bugs and rats are most likely to get in the boxes if there is no liner in the storage box.

To avoid mould or mildew from heat and moisture getting trapped inside, ensure everything is put in an outdoor storage bin that is entirely dry.

Citronella candles, for example, shouldn't be stored inside outdoor storage containers as high temperatures might make the wax melt.

Outdoor storage containers are intended to store decorative ideas and basic outdoor supplies temporarily or per-required. This includes things like:

• Throw pillows and cushions
• Gardening boots or athletic shoes
• Hand tools and gardening equipment
• Garden and swimming pool hoses
• Canopies for patio umbrellas
• Pool floats
• Supplies for pool upkeep
• Pool towel storage temporarily
• Firewood

Material Used For Outdoor Storage Boxes

It's critical to choose the proper material to complement how to utilize outdoor storage:

Plastics

Outdoor storage furniture made of plastic is lightweight and waterproof. It has a simplistic shape and comes in primary, solid hues like white, tan, or dark brown.

Resin 

Because it is lightweight and solid, resin allows for fine texturing to be included in the deck box's design, producing the appearance of a wicker weave. In addition, the resin is a multicoloured, high-density material that is resistant to weather and sun-bleaching.

Wood 

A wood storage box's handcrafted appearance makes it a perennial favourite. To keep pests at bay, look for choices that are constructed or lined with cedar. Depending on the size, a wood storage bench or cabinet is solid and weighty, and it will provide years of service.

These various designs will frequently feature hidden metal or aluminium framing to assist in hardening and reinforcing the structure.

Factors To Consider When Buying Outdoor Storage Boxes

Extra Large Deck Boxes 

Anything with a capacity of more than 150 gallons is classified as an extra-large storage bin. They are available as deck boxes or vertical storage cabinets.

Large Deck Boxes 

Large deck boxes have a capacity of 100 to 149 gallons. These provide enough space to store umbrella canopies for the season and a complete set of furniture cushions. More giant pool toys, such as noodles and deflated loungers, will fit as well.

Medium Deck Boxes 

With capacities ranging from 50-99 gallons, they can carry a complete set of cushions. In addition, they may accommodate many garden hoses, pool supplies such as chlorine tab buckets, and pool equipment such as kickboards or kids' floats.

Small Deck Boxes

They have storage space of 50 gallons or less and are about the size of a narrow bench or end table. They can accommodate towels, a hose, or pillows, with some spare capacity for gardening items such as planting pots and gloves.

Other factors to look into are:

Handles 

Look for handles that make moving the deck box easier or enable the easy operation of lids and drawers.

Soft-close Hinges

Search for units with soft-close hinges for heavier doors and lids. They prevent the trunk lids from falling on anyone attempting to open the box.

Maintenance 

Outdoor storage boxes keep other items covered from damages, but they require some care too. 

Interior Dividers 

Increase storage capacity by using nets and dividers to keep stored goods in specified compartments, such as using the space in a trunk lid for storage in addition to the box's foundation.

Locks 

To safeguard things, particular outdoor storage containers may have clasps or locks that may be locked.
