Plastic Garden Storage - Thinking Outside the Box

!±8± Plastic Garden Storage - Thinking Outside the Box

What does the phrase "plastic garden storage" bring to mind? If you're like most people, you never think about outdoor storage at all. But maybe you're not like most people. Maybe you're one of the few who care deeply about our yards and gardens, and realize how how helpful outdoor storage can be in achieving a tidy appearance. In that case, you may be surprised to learn that sheds aren't the only type of plastic garden storage product on the market.

In fact, some of these products you might not even classify as "storage products." But that's how online retailers categorize them. And they meet my definition of a plastic garden storage product as anything that helps you keep your yard neat and organized.

So precisely what kinds of products am I talking about? Let's start with deck boxes, which range in capacity from 50 to 127 gallons. Despite the name "deck box," these units are also great for patios. Speaking of patios, Suncast's PB6700 Patio Bench is an ingenious product that provides 44 gallons of storage, as well as a place to sit. If you don't have enough room for this bench, try its smaller cousin, the 31-gallon Suncast Mini Patio Bench. The Baby Bear of this product family is the Suncast SS1000 Storage Seat, with a capacity of 22 gallons.

A bit farther afield, the Suncast DCP2000 Prep Station is designed to make light work of outdoor food preparation. It's perfect for the dedicated barbecuer in your family. With two storage cabinets and 40 inches of cutting and prepping surface, it provides plenty of room to marinade steaks and fix vegetable kebabs.

One of my favorite plastic garden storage devices is the humble hose reel. This simple device eliminates kinks and tangles, while keeping your garden hose safely stowed away when you're not using it. Suncast makes several models, but my favorite is the Powerwind Hose Reel, which effortlessly reels in your garden hose with no work on your part.

It may seem like a bit of a stretch to refer to a trash container as a storage device. But I didn't want to wrap up this article without mentioning Suncast's Outdoor Trash Hideaway. It's a fancy name, but this is no ordinary garbage can. It's beige, and features faux wainscoting for an attractive appearance. It holds 30- to 33-gallon bags and the lid can be secured to keep marauding critters at bay.

As you can see from this article, your plastic garden storage options go far beyond the traditional shed. The right storage product can help you organize your yard and reduce the risk of tripping over a stray toy or garden hose. I hope this information will help you find a product that suits your needs.

Plastic Garden Storage You Can Sit on

Here's an innovative idea--a plastic garden storage product that doubles as a place to sit! Suncast offers a handful of plastic garden storage products that can help you tidy up your yard, while also providing seating for you or your guests. These multi-talented products are especially appealing if you have limited outdoor space.

Or maybe you're like me, and you're obsessed with efficiency. Why have both a bench and a storage shed cluttering up your deck or patio when one product can do the work of both?

In addition, a storage/seating product allows you to keep tools close at hand, without detracting from the appearance of your deck or patio. That's something to consider, even if you do have enough room to tuck away a storage shed behind a wall somewhere.

Let's start with the smallest model, and work our way up. If space is sorely limited, consider Suncast's diminutive SS1000 Storage Seat. It's made from durable white resin with faux wainscoting and features a capacity of 22 gallons. Suncast's Mini Patio Bench is a little larger, with a 31-gallon capacity.

If you have more room, consider Suncast's full-size PB6700 Patio Bench, which opens up to reveal 44 gallons of storage. Like other Suncast products, it's constructed of durable UV-resistant plastic.

What's that you say? Forty-four gallons of storage isn't nearly enough? Then it's time to bring out the big guns. Suncast's DB9750 Extended Deck Box/Seat boasts a 129-gallon capacity. And despite the words "deck box" in the name, it's equally at home on a patio.

These products aren't extremely roomy, so they aren't the best choice if you have a lot of stuff. So if you need to keep the rain off your lawnmower, a storage shed is your only choice. And if you have enough room to hide a shed away somewhere, you may prefer to keep storage and seating separate. But if your yard space and your storage needs are both modest, a combination storage/seating product is a space-saving option.

In Plastic Garden Storage, Deck Boxes Are a Hot Item

If you're looking for a plastic garden storage product, you should definitely consider a deck box. These versatile containers are tough, attractive, and inexpensive. Best of all, they will help you keep your yard tidy. But deck boxes aren't the best choice for everyone. And with a variety of models on the market, it isn't easy to find the perfect one for your yard. The following six questions will help you make a smart purchase decision.

1. Is a deck box the best choice? Some deck boxes double as a place to sit. But if you're going to be sitting on yours a lot, you might be more comfortable with a bench instead. Suncast's PB6700 Patio Bench is a plastic bench that opens up to provide 44 gallons of storage. On the other hand, if you need more storage than a deck box can provide, you should consider a shed.

2. How much room do you need? There's nothing more annoying than to get a storage unit out of the box only to find that it's just a bit too small for its intended purpose. Fortunately, deck boxes are available in a range of sizes. Suncast's Original Deck Box provides 50 gallons of storage. The next-largest model holds 99 gallons. If you need even more room, consider the Deluxe Deck Box, which boasts a 127-gallon capacity.

3. Will your deck box be exposed to sun? If the answer is yes, make sure you select one that's made of UV-resistant plastic. At the same time, keep in mind that you'll extend the life of even a UV-resistant plastic garden storage product if you place it in a shady place.

4. Will it get wet? Unless you keep yours under an eave or patio, it's going to get rained on. And if it isn't watertight, its contents will get wet, too. Depending on what you're storing, a little rain may or may not be important. You're probably not going not going to be storing fine art or family photos on your patio. But it's no fun to set up for a picnic on the patio, only to find your paper napkins in a mildewed clump. If it's important to buy a plastic garden storage product that keeps out the elements, read the reviews on Amazon.com and learn from other people's experiences.

5. How does it look? Most deck boxes come in beige, which fades into the background, allowing you and your guests to focus on more attractive elements.

6. Will it be durable? No matter what you'll be doing with your storage unit, you want to make sure it will last. But while all manufacturers say their products are durable, these claims aren't always supported by real-world results. That's why I suggest that you read reviews on Amazon.com. Some reviewers may be biased or unreliable, so it pays to look for patterns. If one person says that a particular model is flimsy, he or she might just be hard to please. But if twelve people are in agreement, it's probably true that the product's construction leaves something to be desired.

With the right deck box, you'll have a more attractive yard, fewer things to trip over, and an easier time finding tools when you need them. And by asking the six questions in this article, you'll be able to choose the perfect deck box for your yard. Happy shopping!
