I got this to store garden cushions and items I use often without wanting to go to my garage. It’s sturdy with plenty of room for cushions, hedge cutter, leaf blower and a garden hose. Proved very useful when I needed to empty the garage. Easily.moved with wheels on one end and it can be locked.
I bought this for my recycling bags
It is sturdy , easy to pu together (I am a 76 year old lady ) and did it myself
Keeps the bags dry
Excellent buy and would certainly recommend i
Good value for price. Seems a little flimsy until it’s assembled which I managed on my own. Can be padlocked if required. It’s waterproof and assembled box measures approx. L114cm x W44cm x D54cm.
Colour as described.
These storage containers are a game changer. They are very easy to erect and can be done by one person. They are very robust and strong, can hold a lot of storage junk etc. I have since purchased another 2 of these.
This garden storage box is great value for money. It’s weathered well through our stormy months and survived. Even if you have a small garden or yard, it fits. Great for storing garden cushions (as long as they’re covered and sealed well), or for simply storing your recycling sacks. It will hold 2 big standard size sacks for plastics & cardboard (dependant upon area) and a small recycling sack for paper. It was easy to assemble, lightweight and has wheels that you can attach whichever end is convenient for you, should you need to move it around. There is also a front section for you to attach a lock for security purposes.
The box is great but it was a plus recommendation for a garden set that I purchased it is too small for the cushion that came with the set not happy I have had to squeeze them i
Easy to put together & once assembled, very strong & sturdy. Wheels on one end (you choose which end), so it’s easy to pick up the opposite end of the box & transport.
Fits my 4 folding garden chairs, table umbrella & 4 garden cushions in perfectly, with room to spare.
Has space to attach a pad lock in lid, if so desired.
Would definitely recommend.
Good quality item, spacious enough for my outdoor resting set of pillows. Definitely waterproof, Could be slightly bigger. Wouldnt recommend to stand on it or leave any heavy items on the lid, might deform. Recommended.
Just done that. There is an A3 sheet of instructions which is easy to understand. Basically once you understand that all the panels click together, you don’t even need the instructions. Also large panels have a code inside which matches the instructions. The first 3 panels (bottom & side) are quite flimsy, which makes it a little harder to click in but it’s ok from there. It feels sturdy once the whole thing is put together (the instructions shows 2 people can sit on it). I was looking at cheaper options on eBay but people complain about their quality. This product is the best seller in “Deck Boxes” and it makes sense to pay 10 more for better quality. I felt the price was reasonable after assembling it. The only negative thing I want to say is there should be 4 rollers instead of 2, so it’s easier to move both directions (to clean the patio). Ah I also preferred brown but which is not available. Still recommemded. Only 4 star just because I cannot say about durability & water tightness yet.
Once you have identified which piece is which it is easily assembled and ideal for my needs in addition to being strong, of good quality and good value for money.
Only criticism would be that it only comes with 2 rollers so you need to decide which end to put them on, would be much better to have the option of 4 so they could be on both sides. If you want to use it as a bench too though, you wouldn’t want rollers on both sides as it may move around! A good buy for the price.
I don’t believe it’s waterproof enough for where we live, but it’ll do for pool materials
Just missing some of the wheels, so do check what you receive.
Also, it locks. Freaking love that it does.
Didn’t take long to assemble and once assembled seemed to be quite sturdy, the wheels however I don’t think would hold up to much abuse, the box has been outside in the rain and everything inside remained dry.
I wanted some storage instead of a shed for my small courtyard garden. These are ideal, easy enough to put together but would suggest that it is a 2 person job! Purchased 2 so after putting the first together the 2nd one was easier.
Very happy with my purchase and would recommend.
This box is perfect for storing 20 average sized garden utensils, or an unassembled bike, or maybe 2 small bodies. Water proof but not air tight so playing hide and seek will never be the same again.
Very easy to put together, it is also very light and strong, I would say it’s waterproof apart from it could do with a built in latch as the lid has blown up a couple of times in high winds …
A really good sturdy product and great value for money. Have recommended it to many family members. Hasn’t let in any water after one year of having it and being outside, not under any shelter! That has to be a good thing, with the amount of rain we have had.
Very easy to assemble, around 10 minutes. Waterproof.. had very heavy rain a few days after assembly and not a drop had leaked inside the box. Locking the box is not easy because of the 2 different sizes of the lock fittings. I would have to have a specific size padlock to lock it, but as I only use it for my Blue & White council refuse bags, I don’t really need a padlock, especially as I can use it as my safe place for deliveries ordered online.
Brilliant storage box! Zero tools needed and so easy to put together, comes flat-packed and you literally smack it together with the palm of your hand to lock the parts! A lot bigger than anticipated which is a positive, and the fact it doubles as a seat is even better as I only have a small yard. If I had more room I’d buy another. Definitely recommend! Many thanks x
Super easy to put together. Have not had it very long so can’t comment on how well it holds up over time. The plastic is fairly thin so I would think it unsuitable for storing very heavy products. Biggest gripe is that the two small wheels keep popping out of place, so not suitable for frequent moving. Overall, good value for money and I would purchase again.
So useful for storing garden items and it’s completely waterproof.
Easy to build very sturdy, tonnes of space and water resistant perfect.
so simple to assemble, I had it together in minutes, no screws or tools needed just snap in place. Bargain price too.
I brought this storage box to put my garden cushions in and to my surprise it’s so spacious and bigger than I expected so overall rating 10 out of 10 very easy to build aswell
Recycling bags out of sight and not blowing atound the garden.
Bought this to put the garden swing cushions in, size is perfect and is waterproof. Very easy to put together, just snaps into the grooves.
Very sturdy and great value for money.
Needed somewhere to store cushions and small garden accessories. Perfect piece of furniture.
Have just noticed reference to a lock. However there was not one included. Will be looking into this missing item. Otherwise perfect for the job required and appears to be a good solid box. Time will tell.
I bought this to house seat cushions but found there was enough room for several other items. Very good value. It looks much mor3 exp3nsive th@n it was
This is the third one of these I have bought. Brilliant. Totally waterproof and really easy to put together. No tools needed. Everything clicks into place. I’ve had one outside all through the winter and everything has stayed dry. Strong and sturdy.
Great product and value for money. Easy to build and sturdy
Excellent product. First class workmanship. Highly recommend. Easy to make up. Really strong
I’ve only had this about 30 minutes so my review is only based on how easy to put together it was.
There was a small break/piece missing (as per another buyer) but once put together it was well hidden and i’m not sure it negatively impacts the integrity of the box itself.
I’m an impatient sort, and didn’t want to wait a week for my other half to put it together so i unpacked it myself and was amazed at how quick and easy it was to put together on my own – didn’t even need any tools – not even a hammer. nonetheless it feels quite sturdy (at over 15st though, i’m not about to test it).
I have a disability (ME/CFS) and although I’m worn out now it really was simple to put together – it took less than 10 minutes, and just a few whacks.
Wanted a container to store wood outside for our wood burner. Easy to install. Appears to be waterproof. Looks nice and fits in our space nicely outside our conservatory. Recommended.
Easy to assemble. Perfect size. Waterproof. Really happy with this product.
Although this item received was faulty it was through no fault of the seller – there was no problem returning the item I was issued a replacement straight away. Fantastic customer service and a great outdoor box thankyou!
I’m really pleased with this box – it is very sturdy – in fact I ordered two they are so good. Thank you, brilliant product and great value too!
Easy to assemble – took me 15 minutes and majority of that was getting it out of the box – good storage and useful seating.
A solid construction, comfortable to sit on, and looks fine. Just what I needed to keep my balcony tidy.
I brought this for when my grandson stays over to,put all his garden toys in. My son put this together and it didn’t take long to ensemble it. I have it in the back garden so haven’t put a padlock on and it has rained and seems to be waterproof. I am very pleased with the storage box and looks good in the garde
The box is sturdy, but very easy to assemble – no tools required.
Ordered it to keep recycling bags in outside, three bags sit easily side by side, I also found it very easy to put together, good product.
Was easy enough to put together, no issues, feels quite sturdy, thinking of ordering another one can’t comment on waterproof as not being used solely outside its being used in a shed
Easy to put together, strong and waterproof. Great for toys and balls in the garden. Also stored all my paint tins in i
Despite having no instructions the item was easy enough to put together
Missing a set of rollers though
ok took a 1 to 2 hours assemble it… got it assemble broken a bit off by mistake……may buy another one to Storage my bits……will but a cover over it so it doed get the full sun and heat and break……
Easy to assemble by one person. Decent size, bought to hold a large number of footballs. Not sure I would trust it to hold any weight if you sat on it. Good price seeing as it was reduced.
This product is well made, sturdy easy to put together and looks great. Was going to use it as a postal box for parcels but when it arrived I didn’t realise how big it was. The box now is in the garden with all the grandchildren’s games and toys and does the job perfectly. Would recommend to anyone who is thinking of buying one. I had to buy another make which was 190 litres and it was absolute rubbish. Please please ketter make a 190l size and I would buy it .
Big size great and also can be sat on like a bench I love i
It looks very smart and two adults can sit on it quite comfortably but I’d say a max weight of twelve stone each to be on the safe side as it did creak a bit under my 200lb. Much better than the tent affair we had before that didn’t fair too well in the storms, it takes the boy’s balls and scooters with room for other garden stuff and keeps them all perfectly dry. We put a couple of slabs in the base for extra weight. You can padlock it but a determined thief would get into it whichever one you put on. This item is definitely at the cheaper end of the Keter range and that is reflected in it’s sturdiness but is a smart and useful box for your garden.
Other criticisms laboured over the flimsiness of the product. However once constructed I could stand my 80 kg body on it it with no signs of stress.
As my picture show I use it to store logs. It is sited on a porch open to all weathers, but has never let water in. It has proved to be 100-percent waterproof.
There was also criticism of the locking facility, which I admit it is not brilliant, but if security was a big priority then surely a thin plastic box is not the wisest choice. However I’m sure with a bit of ingenuity a simple locking hasp could be neatly adapted. If you really wanted to steal the contents, it would be quite easy to cart the whole thing away as it’s on wheels.
The floor panel whilst adequate, seems to be the thinnest component, so before loading the box, I lined the bottom with some thin timber to spread the load of anything placed in it. Probably not essential but just a belt and braces precaution on my part .
In summary, I line myself together with the 74% top reviews. Great value for money, sturdy enough for most situations, waterproof , easy on the eye and not forgetting it also doubles up as a garden seating bench. For the money , what more could you demand ?
I’m guessing the biggest downfall will be the fact that whilst sturdy in general, the locking eye is fairly small and so limits the size of padlock you can use, hence only 4 stars for Easy to Lock. I have only used a 1 20mm padlock from Asda which fits fine, larger locks may cause difficulty. I definitely wouldn’t store super valuable items (that goes for ANY outdoor storage, expensive or otherwise), as even with a decent padlock it wouldn’t take a genius to cut the lid and steal everything. The box is large enough for what I need to use it for, though I can still easily pick it up and wander off with it, even when loaded with the few things I have inside.
I’m unsure how it will stand up to windy days, I believe I have enough weight in it to stop it from flying away, at least it feels as though it won’t be going anywhere. You could always put a couple of paving slabs in the bottom to make doubly sure it won’t fly away. I would definitely recommend using some sort of padlock, purely to remove the issue of the lid blowing open or away.
For the money, compared to the cost of other similar sized storage boxes, I would 100% recommend this to anyone looking for sturdy, waterproof outdoor storage. As I say, keep any valuable items in a separate, more secure location and you’ll be perfectly fine.
When assembled, this is surprisingly strong. More than a couple of hundred kilos of weight can go on top of the closed lid, which means it can be used as extra garden seating. There is one exception to this: in recent 30 degree heat and with the box positioned in direct sunlight the plastic became very warm and pliable and the front panel started to bend when my husband went to use this as a bench. He’s nowhere near even half the load this can bear and at other times has used it as seating without issue.
The volume of storage provided is really good at the price point, and things stored inside have been kept dry in even hammering rainfall. The lock section isn’t the most effective thing – but does help to secure the lid so that it won’t blow open during stormy weather.
