Size and storage capacity
When shopping for a deck box, the capacity and external dimensions are first -class considerations. The maximum storage space with a small footprint is usually a good ratio of metrics. With regard to the capacity, the smallest deck boxes are about 20 gallons, often shaped like a cube.
For something bigger, there are outdoor boxes that range between 60 and 80 gallons. Central deck boxes in the 90- to 120-gallon range may be the most popular. Large outdoor storage boxes are about 150 gallons, and everything beyond is extra large. Note that not all cover boxes are twice as additional seats. If this function is important to you, make sure that the model you consider has a maximum weight capacity of at least £ 250.
material
Almost all outdoor outdoor and top outdoor boxes are water-resistant to a certain degree. Harz is the most popular choice because the durable, hard plastic moisture blocks do not fade or do not fertilize.
Wooden deck boxes usually look more up -to -date than resin, but also require more maintenance and may have to be stored indoors for the winter. There are also a few powder -coated metal deck boxes on the market that look more modern than wood or resin.
Characteristics
Another important consideration is if you need the deck box to lock. Most large resin models are equipped with an contained lock or loop to add a lock, which is always a plus, especially if you have little ones. In addition, additional functions include light lids, liners, organizational containers, indoor pockets and wheels for moving.
