YITAHOME Garden Storage Box Waterproof, Heavy Duty 460L

This is a great solution for those looking for deck storage that takes up little space, but still holds quite a lot of stuff. In my case, I was looking for a solution that would hold all the accessories of my Solo Stove Bonfire, would serve as a “stand” to place the Bonfire on when it’s not in use and wouldn’t take up much space on my deck like the excellent Solo Stove Station would. As you can see in my pictures, the internal storage is quite generousit can hold not only the Solo Stove Shield, carrying handle and Sticks, but has more than enough room for the Heat Deflector and Grill/Griddle tops. Once put together, the box is quite sturdyplacing my Bonfire with its Stand on top of it, I cannot feel any stress or “give”; it’s very stable and sturdy enough to hold much more weight-wise. The lid is very solid and has a locking-lip design, so once in place, the box is easily sealed against the elements and offers the protection against the elements you would want for something that can stay on your deck throughout the year.

The only negatives would be that assembly can be trickymake sure you follow the instructions and assemble it in a warm environment as you could easily crack the plastic tabs/fittings if you force things too much. Also, while not expensive, it is pricey for what is ultimately a plastic container that snaps togetherthere are no metal fittings, the lid isn’t attached and there’s no provision to lock the lid if you want to secure the contents inside. Having said this, there aren’t that many choices for a round-design deck box solution that offers the internal volume and dimensions this thing does.

Ultimately, this is a great choice for anyone looking for a solution that’s not your typical box shape (this is round), has a lot of storage capacity without taking up too much space, is sturdy enough to place heavy objects on and can keep your stuff protected all year long. It even looks great!

I bought this for smaller lumbar pillows that go with garden chairs. Bit tricky at first to see how it goes together, but once done, quite nice looking. Works as small chair-side table, will go with most garden furniture styles. This winter I will bring it in , I don’t think its intended to be in heavy rain, the contents might get wet or acquire mildew. Also, get a rubber or wood mallet to tap the pieces into the slots, you’ll need it. Using side of mallet is easier on the pieces, too.

I bought this box to store the food for my garden birds, as the food has to be kept outside as I don’t have room in my house I needed the box to be waterproof. The details said you could store cushions in the box so I took a chance and ordered it although it was a little expensive to keep bird food in, however The box is very sturdy and definitely waterproof as we have had a lot of rain since it arrived, well made and worth the money.

I purchased this as a parcel deliveries box, to help couriers leaving packages at my house. All too often I’ve been out or away, and items left by my door have been rained on, and damaged. Now I have peace of mind that they’ll be protected until my return.

This box is well made, clicks together tightly and has a close fitting lid. Instructions are provided, and it’s an easy matter to assemble it. You need to get it right first time though, as once attached they cannot be removed again! The individual panels are a wee bit flimsy feeling, but once built, the box is stronger – how strong time will tell, and I don’t believe the 300lb weight bearing claim for a moment. I’d be wary of resting a 50lb bag of sand on it, personally. If you want a seat, purchases a seat. I judge it fine for parcels though, and have placed a couple of bricks inside to prevent it blowing away.

My other concern is the degree of UV protection it may or may not have. This is made from injection moulded thermoplastic by the way, not “resin” as claimed on the listing. I’ll update my review if it becomes brittle, or fades in the sun – a common issue with this type of material. Using it indoors would avoid the problem.

So, all-in-all I’d rate this as a reasonable lightweight storage box that can hopefully be left outside for two or three seasons, provided you weight it down. After paying fifty pounds for it I can’t help thinking it’s slightly overpriced for what I received though. Thirty would feel more reasonable, to be honest, and for a one-time purchase I’d probably pay more and buy a metal version next time. Four stars.

Large outdoor storage box perfect for kids toys summer Garden equipment tools even though I personally wouldn’t leave anything too valuable in mine
Very big and deep fairly simple to put together it basically all clicks into place it needs some persuasion its very rigid so don’t be afraid to bang the base into place I used my foot to give it little kicks all down the edged and managed to build it by myself though it was tricky in parts one end pops on the other off etc but nothing too challenging
It’s grey in my case with wood effect the detail isn’t perfect but you can see extra effort went into design as the ripples in wood have been replicated and the grain effect ontop looks good suit most gardens and excellent for storing you bits and bobs
It has hydrolic hinges and is easy to lift the lid it hold s in place too so it’s all good really I think it a great storage solutio
