By

Don’t leave your belongings strewn across the yard where they’re susceptible to damage and getting lost or stolen. Find your solution to easy storage with one of these patio storage boxes.

Unlike storage cabinets, boxes are low to the ground and allow for easy loading and unloading. Storage boxes are durable enough to keep your things safe and provide additional bench seating on your patio or balcony. There are so many perks to these practical storage solutions it can be hard to decide which is the right one for you.

For additional security, this storage box will accommodate a lock (not provided).

Suncast 22 Gallon Deck Box

For a smaller storage solution, go for the Suncast 22 Gallon Deck Box. This mocha-colored storage box features a wicker design that complements most outdoor furniture. The perfect size to function as a catch-all for yard gloves, grill supplies, and toys, this water-resistant box is both durable and easy to keep clean.

Ulax Furniture Outdoor Storage

Best Hidden Patio Storage

The Ulax Furniture Outdoor Storage is weatherproof, UV-resistant, and made up of a stylish bronze-colored wicker handwoven over a steel frame. It looks like a comfortable bench with a cushion until you lift the lid to reveal a hidden storage area underneath. The dimensions are 38 x18x19.5 inches.

Keter Brightwood 120 Gallon Resin Large Box

Best Storage Box Design

The extra-large design of this outdoor storage box offers 120 gallons of capacity. Sporting an interior suspension basket and storage net allows for more organization and easier reach. The drainage holes on the box’s underside make it a great option for housing wet pool toys. Although it is made of resistant, weatherproof resin, this box has an appealing wood-like texture that gives it a beachy, poolside vibe.

You’ll have your new storage box to thank when your yard is free of clutter. When you have a safe space to store all of your power tools, sports equipment, and patio cushions you wonder why you didn’t get one of these storage solutions sooner.
