Real World Use
The compact size makes this storage box suitable for placing near a back door, on a patio or on a balcony. It is described as weatherproof and waterproof, so it is intended for outdoor use where rain and sun exposure are a concern.
Because it also works as a parcel box, it offers a single place for deliveries and other stored items when you want them kept out of sight by the door.
What To Know Before You Buy
Check the external and internal dimensions before ordering to make sure the box fits your available space and storage needs. If you want to lock it, you will need a padlock for the reinforced front hasp.
Confirm that the 75kg lid rating is suitable before using the box as a seat. If you plan to use it as a parcel box, review the size of the parcels you expect to store against the internal measurements.
