Outdoor Storage
Outdoor storage boxes, benches and cabinets for cushions, pool gear, toys and garden tools. Sizes run from small 42cm boxes to 150cm deck boxes and 680L foldable containers, in poly rattan, timber, plastic and steel.
Some double as a seat; others are upright cabinets with shelves.
What size outdoor storage box do I need?
Measure what you want to store; a full set of lounge cushions usually needs a box around 100 x 50 x 50cm or bigger.
| Box size | Holds |
|---|---|
| About 42 x 44 x 50cm | Pool toys, hoses, small tools |
| 100 x 50 x 50cm | Cushions for a 3–5 piece setting |
| 150 x 100 x 100cm | Cushions for large settings, sun lounge pads |
| Foldable 680L container | Bulky items; folds flat when empty |
| Upright cabinet | Garden tools, pots, cleaning gear |
Is an outdoor storage box waterproof?
Most are water-resistant, not watertight, so place them under cover or on a raised, level surface.
Rattan boxes often have a liner inside. Leave cushions to dry fully before you pack them away.
Can I sit on an outdoor storage bench?
Yes, if the listing calls it a storage bench or seat; plain storage boxes are not built to carry weight on the lid.
Storage benches give extra seating and hide clutter at the same time.
Rattan, timber or plastic: which storage box should I choose?
Pick rattan to match a rattan setting, timber for a garden look, and plastic or resin for the lightest, lowest-care option.
- Poly rattan: matches outdoor lounges, wipe clean.
- Solid wood (including teak): warm look; oil once a year.
- Plastic / resin: light, rot-proof, easy to hose down.
What should I check before I order an outdoor storage box?
Check the outside size, the inside capacity, the lid style and whether it locks.
Gas-strut lids stay open on their own, which makes loading cushions easier. Boxes on small feet keep the base off wet ground. If the box will sit against a wall, check the lid can open fully. For pool areas, a lockable lid keeps chemicals away from kids.
Foldable containers suit people who only need extra storage over winter, then want the space back in summer.
Can I pay it off?
Yes. Pay with Afterpay or Zip, or check out with PayPal. A $198.55 poly rattan storage box (100 x 50 x 50cm) is four fortnightly Afterpay payments of $49.64.
