When you think about plastic garden storage, you probably think of sheds. But although there are garden sheds on the market in a wide range of sizes and styles, today buyers can choose from many other kinds of storage products. This article describes three other types of storage that you may want to consider.
Storage Seats
Need to store a little? Try Suncast's SS1000 Storage Seat, which provides a place to sit as well as 22 gallons of storage. That's much less than Suncast's deck boxes, but it may be plenty if you only need to store a few things.
Patio Benches
Need more storage? Consider Suncast's 31-gallon Mini Patio Bench. The larger Suncast's PB6700 Patio Bench can accommodate two people sitting side by side, and also offers 44 gallons of storage.
Deck Boxes
You don't need a deck to use a deck box. These versatile products give you lots of room for storing garden tools, barbecue supplies, and other accessories. If space is at a premium, take a look at Suncast's 50-gallon Original Deck Box. If you need more room, you may be interested in one of Suncast's 99-gallon or 127-gallon deck boxes.
Storage Sheds
Need a lot of storage? An outdoor shed is the only game in town, with online retailers selling sheds as large as 434 square feet. Of course, a shed that big will set you back considerably. Another drawback of a shed that big is that it can take up a lot of space. If you're looking for a plastic garden storage product because your yard looks cluttered, buying a shed may defeat your purpose.
This concludes my article on four types of plastic garden storage. To choose the right product, think carefully about your needs, and ask yourself the following questions: How much stuff do you need to store? How much space is there in your yard for outdoor storage? And how much money are you willing to spend? It may be tempting to rush over to Amazon.com and buy a storage product. But a little time spent in research and planning can save a lot of trouble down the road.
