What Should I Look for When Choosing an Outdoor Storage Box?

When choosing an outdoor storage box, consider what you plan to store, such as garden tools, pool equipment, or cushions. Knowing what this will be used for will help you determine the appropriate size, materials, and features. Also, check out the following factors to ensure you select the right one for your needs:

Size and Capacity: 

Measure where you place the storage box and consider the items you want to store to determine the appropriate size and capacity. Make sure to leave room for future storage needs.

Weather Resistance: 

Ensure the box is made of materials that can withstand the elements, including rain, sun, and temperature fluctuations. Look for features like UV protection, water resistance, and rust prevention.

Security: 

If you plan to store valuable items, consider a lockable storage box for added security.

Material: 

Outdoor storage boxes are typically made of plastic, wood, or metal. Each material has its pros and cons:

  • Plastic is lightweight, weather-resistant, and low maintenance. However, it may not be as durable as other materials.

  • Wood is aesthetically pleasing and sturdy, but may require regular maintenance (painting, staining) to protect it from the elements.

  • Metal is durable, strong, and weather-resistant, but may be prone to rust if not properly treated.

How Do I Clean My Outdoor Storage Box?

The best way to clean your outdoor storage box will depend on the material it's made of. However, here are some general guidelines for cleaning common materials:

 

  • Use a mild soap or detergent mixed with warm water.

  • Use a soft cloth, sponge, or soft-bristle brush to scrub the surface gently.

  • Rinse the box thoroughly with clean water to remove soap residue.

  • For stubborn stains or dirt, use a soft-bristle brush to scrub gently.

  • Allow the storage box to air dry completely before storing items, as trapped moisture can cause mould and mildew. Dry the storage box with a clean cloth to prevent water spots and rust formation for metal boxes.


For all materials, it's essential to avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that may damage the surface. Additionally, cleaning your outdoor storage box regularly is an excellent idea to keep it looking and functioning at its best. It is always recommended to check the manufacturer's recommendations for cleaning and maintenance, as specific products may have unique requirements.

Can Outdoor Storage Boxes Be Left Outside Year-Round?

Leaving it outside all year round depends on the weather and how well you maintain it. For example, irregular upkeep of metal cabinets might potentially cause rusting whereas, leaving a polypropylene storage unit should be fine due to its sturdy nature.  

Are Outdoor Storage Boxes Waterproof or Water-Resistant?

The polypropylene outdoor storage units are UV, water and weather resistant.
