LIFETIME 60040 Deck Box, 130 Gallon, Desert Sand

Big and spacious! Was easy to assemble and is very sturdy!

Fantastic storage box for the deck. This is my 2nd one from Lifetime and I couldn't be happier. I got the big one about a year ago and was blown away by the build quality and size and it still looks brand new. I decided to replace my other cheap, low quality top level deck box with the smaller Lifetime box and again, the quality is just incredible. Built like a tank and looks great. Highly recommend any products from this company. You won't be disappointed!!

Easy assembly can be done with one person. Would help to have nut driver, but ratchet worked just fine. I recommend to seal all side and bottom seams to prevent moisture and insects. Top lid leaves very little room for foam tape, but a thin 1/2” strip would work fine. (Optional) Overall it is very sturdy and lid is rigid. Good deal, good product

The unit is very nice looking and very sturdy. My issue is with assembly - some parts are easy to assemble and others are not! It's easy to do the first steps of snapping the bottom and sides together. But as soon as you get to needing to screw things in, it's not easy, because any time you have to screw into the solid plastic of the unit - say to secure the lid stabilizer to the top, or the hinges to the sides, there are no pre-drilled holes in the plastic. So I had to drill my own holes because it was impossible to get the screws in using the drill with a Phillips head bit. It's done now and I'm happy with the unit, which looks nice on the deck and will hold my 2 zero gravity chairs that I like to put away when it rains, and a few other small items. So in the end, I like it and am glad I have it, but wish it had been easier. The guy in the video just zip zap puts those screws in, but no way without pre-drilled holes.

I've had these for three years now and it is still doing well. It's a thick, durable plastic material. It took me about 30 minutes to put together because it was just me. The instructions were easy to follow and came together nicely with no issues. The lid opens and closes easily and keeps water out. I put a lock on mine because it does stay outside on my deck year round. The lid has faded a little over the years because it has been out in the sun but the whole deck box is easy to clean. Very pleased with it.

Check out the photo. I placed this box in direct sun light part of the day, hot close to equator climate year round, and prone to heavy rains. Water getting into yours? - The first thing you want to do is make sure the ground is raised. See how I put a 6 inch cement platform? That's similar to per code in most cities. You want to do this for your box for two reasons. 1) The cement is even. So the plastic isnt going to warp out causing large gaps on base 2) If your area has flooding, even if half a inch, and there is a gap you are going to get water in the box This box is not to just drop on the grass somewhere behind your yard. If you actually do that anyway then silicone the base inside and out to give yourself a fighting chance. Placing it on a flat service that doesnt flood is the key. - The direct sun is no problem. What I did was purchase a bottle of UV protection spray here on amazon and put it on the areas that gets sun. I do this once every few months and keep it in the bin and use it when I remember to. Still looks brand new. I searched through each and every deckbox/ storage shed on Amazon. I was originally steered away from this product because it is so inexpensive. I wanted to pay more for the best possible solution. After receiving it I couldnt be more happy. Assembly: - Make sure when sliding the side together you are doing it correctly. Its easy, but put some muscle in it to create a locked in fit. - You should use a socket attachment. Whether its a socket wrench, a socket attachment to your screw driver, or to your drill... just go to the hardware store and pick one up for a couple bucks. Its worth it and I can promise you many of the disgruntled assembly reviews must come from someone who tried to use a screw driver. -Your lid is closing unevenly? - You didnt assemble it incorrectly. Just make sure the box is on an even surface. I believed my lid was on an even surface but when noticing the lid not closing perfectly (slightly to the left) I placed it on what I knew to be for sure an even surface it the lid closed perfectly. Recommendations: - Silicone caulking has been recommended by others but I havent needed to since I raised mine on flat surface. - A UV protectant spray. - A socket attachment for assembly *Important note: It is more difficult to assemble than something like an Ikea furniture set. It will take someone handy just minutes to do it but if you are not handy assembling this deckbox might slightly irritate you. If you need a deck box get this one.

Love this box! Very sturdy, kinda easy to assemble and storage capacity is very adequate. Definite recommend

Where do I start? BEST EVER storage box. I NEED storage. I am getting ready to move and need my home to look "generic" Translation, Put your crap away!!! It's HARD with 30 years of "stuff". Inside stuff. Outside stuff. I picked this box because I found a cover that would fit to get me through the months of rain my "stuff" would be in it. Drip system, fabric pot=MANY, Garden pots and so much more Box arrived and the instructions looked easy as they ALWAYS do. Part A to part B and slide...uh huh. Well, one set did...not easy, with a LOT of force. Second set didn't. AT ALL. BUT, the instructions had a you tube available so I watched it. They made it look SO easy but A refused to slide on B. I noticed some of the comments mentioning the same problems I had mentioning the pegs were too short so I called Customer Service. I got a Human right away. He completely UNDERSTOOD, Was very friendly and understanding. Asked me the part that refused to slide. SHIPPED me a new front panel right away!! 2 days later it arrived. I am NOT a young adult anymore but I was a nurse for 40 years so I am not a frail person. Here is my tip if anyone is still reading and can't get Front or Back to slide into bottom of the box. The Front or Back sets down into holes but can be hard to slide and needs weight. I turned it over, leaned it up onto something that braces the bottom so you can lock the front or back piece into place with body weight...It snapped into place as easily as it showed on the youtube just in a different position... The box holds a TON of stuff. Hardware is excellent. Easy to put on, works well. My best advice is FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS & ask for help if you need it. I want another one but don't really need it

Arcón de calidad, la instalación no es "click - clack"... pero tampoco es difícil su montaje. Requiere de algunas herramientas básicas... pero biene todo muy bién detallado y explicado. Incluso hay vídeos en Youtube de como se montan. Una vez montado es robusto y se ve de muy buena calidad.

Coffre de très bonne qualité, parois épaisse, seul bémol pas étanche, mais un joint en silicone a l'intérieur et c'est top.

Perfect but was missing some screws, two

Ich brauchte eine wetterfeste Box für meine Sandfilterpumpe, die Größe und Doppelwandigkeit kamen mir ideal vor - also bestellt. Die Box kam in wenigen Einzelteilen mit einer sehr ausführlichen und bebilderten Anleitung an. Der Steckmechanismus ist gut durchdacht, man braucht für den Zusammenbau aber schon einiges an Werkzeug (Ratsche mit verschiedenen Nüssen, Schraubenzieher, Hammer (nur für 1 Vorgang). Die vier Wände mit Boden waren in 5 min zusammengesteckt, aber der Schließmechanismus mit Gasfeder erforderte einige Steck/Schraubarbeiten. Es hat sich gelohnt: Die Box macht einen superstabilen Eindruck, der Deckel schließt passgenau und satt, ist nur mit etwas Kraftaufwand zu öffnen (Er schnappt praktisch ein). Ich musste dann wegen der Fremdnutzung (Pumpe, Schläuche) leider an 2 Stellen Löcher schneiden und das tat mir wirklich leid um die schöne Box. Interessant beim Zerschneiden: Die Wände sind wirklich doppelt und mit "Verstrebungen" stabilisiert. Ich kann die Box wärmstens empfehlen und habe mir noch eine zweite für die eigentliche Nutzung bestellt.

Kiste komfortabel, stabil und Wetterfest.
