A 160-gallon resin deck box sized to swallow patio cushions, pool towels, garden tools, and the cover for the grill in one place. The lid has a support rod so it stays open while you load rather than dropping on your hands, and the seams and lid lip are built to shed water rather than pool it. The resin is UV resistant, which is the difference between a box that stays the color you bought and one that chalks white after two summers. The lid is rated to sit on, so it works as extra seating when the patio fills up. It assembles without tools. Best fit: patios and decks with no shed, where cushions currently live in a garage and get carried back and forth.
Pros
- 160 gallons holds a full set of patio cushions plus tools in one box
- Lid support rod holds it open while you load, instead of slamming shut
- UV-resistant resin resists the chalky fade cheap deck boxes get
- Lid is rated for sitting, so it works as overflow seating
Cons
- Empty resin boxes are light, so a strong wind can shift one that is not weighted down or filled
Frequently asked questions
Is it actually waterproof in heavy rain?
The lid overlaps the body to shed water and the seams are sealed, which handles normal rain. In driving rain some moisture can wick in at the hinge, so keep anything truly water-sensitive in a bag inside.
How much weight can the lid hold?
It is rated as seating for typical adult weight. Treat it as a bench rather than a step stool, and avoid standing on it.
Does it need tools to assemble?
No. The panels snap together, and most people finish assembly in under half an hour without tools.
Will it hold full-size patio chair cushions?
Yes. At 160 gallons it takes a set of chair cushions plus a couple of throw pillows, though very large sectional cushions may need to be stacked on edge.
