We bought it for storage for our camping chairs over the winter - but nope - we use it year round. In fact we went back and bought another one. Great for storage of almost anything (pool toys, cushions for deck chairs, small weed eater, and the list just goes on. Perfect for on the deck or on the side of the patio!!

These are the best made of all the outdoor storage boxes. However, you cannot store pool chemicals inside them. The hardware will corrode and rust. What is more surprising, is that no where, adds or warranty, is there mention of this. The good news is that if it happens within the 10 year warranty, you can get replacement hardware. And store you chemicals somewhere else.

I bought mine last fall. It is light to move, and I really like the fact that it keeps everything inside dry. It is a little pricey, but worth it to know cushions from my good metal set will keep dry and clean. I wash it off with a hose, but you must have the lid down firmly to keep things dry. I also like the fact that it holds its value, as the sun does not trash it.

I bought this storage bin to hold all our outdoor toys. Balls, inflatable pools, Tonka trucks, camping chairs, sand toys, rakes...all these things have been well protected over 3 years in our yard. My kids climb on it and in it, and it is holding strong.

I bought this bin and placed it on the dock by our boat. It is very water resistant, sturdy has by far the best hinges and can take a lot of weight on the lid. I had other bins previously for the same application and they barely lasted a season. Had to junk them. I would give this higher stars but they they only allow five.

This was the perfrect size for storing our outdoor chair cushions. The instructions were fairly well illustrated and all but the top was very easy to assemble. You do need tools that are not included and all the hardware goes to assemblng the top. A rubber mallet is indispensible. Assembled, top is easy to open with the 2 shock absorbers. It is perfect for our needs and am really happy with the price and quality.

Reviews of lesser priced storage boxes indicated a problem with the hinges pulling out of the plastic, only time will tell with this product. Kept the rain out during the first small shower, will reserve judgment until after a heavy downpour. DIY to put together I put at a 3.5/5, takes some skill; there is a video which helped more than the paper instructions. Would recommend; hopefully my optimism will hold up a couple of months from now.

The deck box is roomy and sturdy. It is easy to assemble. The problem for me is the lid. There are no holes to attach the metal rod to the lid. Since I cannot attach the rod to the lid, I cannot attach the hinges to the lid and box. You have to make your own holes. I thought I had a lid that was not properly made until I watched the video. I have not assembled the lid to box because of the effort it takes to make the holes. A drill would make it easier. I put the top on top of the box and use it.

Having seen all the other reviews i final bought one. What a great bit of kit easy to put together except the bolts for the the hinge. Who yes Who has a 11mm socket. What's wrong with a 10mm socket. It was very difficult to get the bolts in to hold the hinge attached. But its still a great bit of kit and I think it will last a log time

This is a great storage solution for our pool deck. It stays dry inside and holds all our kids pool tools and etc plus it looks nice. We bought one last year and then another this year for our patio. No sun/uv fading of color, our old one looks just like the new one.
