A 25-gallon outdoor storage bin finished in a simulated wood grain, sized at 22-in by 17-in by 20.5-in so it holds 97 litres of patio furniture accessories without taking a full deck box footprint. The shell is moulded from all-weather PP, a grade chosen to stand up to sun, rain and cold rather than to look good only in the first season, so the bin can live outdoors year round instead of being carried in when the weather turns. The lid flips open from the front and carries a rated 110 lbs, so it takes the weight of a bag set down on it while the box is being loaded. Set into that lid is a lock hole, which lets a padlock secure cushions and accessories when the bin sits somewhere it cannot be watched. Built-in side handles are moulded into the shell rather than bolted on, so there is nothing to work loose, and at 8.5 lbs empty one person can lift and reposition the bin easily. The wood grain detailing is what separates it from a plain utility container: the texture reads as furniture on a deck instead of as storage, so the bin can sit in view rather than being hidden. Assembly is tool-free, which means the box goes from carton to loaded in a few minutes, and the finish is offered in black, brown and light coffee.
