Patio & Deck Storage Devices

Storage Chests

• Storage chests for patio and decks are low-profile, horizontal rectangular boxes with a lid that opens at the top. They are an easy storage solution for storing outdoor pillows and cushions, blankets and towels, outdoor toys and games, pool toys and anything else that can fit in them. Position storage devices along a side of the deck or patio that is out of the way for walking and playing, or use them as dividers to section your deck into different conversational areas.

Single-seat Storage Box

• There are several styles and sizes for patio and deck storage devices for small to large areas. For smaller decks and patios, a single-seat storage box functions for both storage and for seating. In fact, purchase these in sets of two to make two-person conversational areas on your deck or patio.

Bench-seat Storage Device

• Bench-seat storage devices extend wider than the single-seat benches to offer seating accommodations for more than one person. These models add a seat top to the traditional storage chest design. Some bench-seat storage devices have raised backs and armrests to lean back on and rest while sitting.

Food Storage

• Food-and-drink patio and deck storage devices make it easy to contain and prepare foods outside. Coolers keep foods and drinks chilled on the deck or patio and portable food prepping stations have a prepping top with cabinets underneath for utensils, dishes and condiments.

Horizontal and Vertical Sheds

• The larger size of horizontal sheds offers more storage space than bench or storage chests. Though larger than the storage chests, horizontal sheds have a low profile--about 3 feet tall--and they have a top that opens like a lid and two doors that open out in the front. Vertical sheds have taller yet slimmer profiles to fit a lot of storage space into tight spaces. They function more like outdoor closets with shelves or for storing brooms and other tools and equipment.

Materials

• Patio and deck storage devices are made of several types of materials. Traditional storage devices are constructed of wood that is stained or painted. Plastic storage devices are very popular for their numerous design styles, shapes and colors that are molded into these maintenance-free and waterproof storage devices. Patio and deck storage devices are also available in wicker and rattan, and even as collapsible/portable, weather-resistant fabric boxes.
