Solana Plastic Storage Bench

Keter

What we like: 551 lb. weight capacity — can seat up to three adults

What we don’t: Does not include seat cushions

This waterproof bench is made from polypropylene with a wood-like texture, which provides excellent weather resistance compared to natural wood. Despite its synthetic construction, this storage bench has a charming appearance that complements various dècor styles, from modern farmhouse to Scandi. The UV-protected resin finish won’t fade in direct sunlight and protects the contents against moisture. 

Featuring a weight capacity of 551 lbs., this storage bench is strong and sturdy. For added security, you can use an off-the-shelf padlock to lock the lid in place. It’s also easy to clean, so you can keep your patio attractive and inviting throughout the year. 

With 70 gallons of storage space concealed under the seat, this storage bench can keep your beach towels, pool toys, and outdoor cushions organized and dry. 

Sand & Stable™ Amagansett 78,87 Gallons Gallon Water Resistant Acacia Solid Wood Deck Box

Sand & Stable™

What we like: Excellent durability, including pest-resistance

What we don’t like: Not designed for permanent seating

Stylish and functional, this waterproof patio storage bench is made from solid acacia wood, resisting water and UV radiation. This bench features louvered paneling which is an attractive addition to any outdoor décor, complementing coastal and farmhouse aesthetics. 

The acacia wood contains natural oils that make it resistant to pests like termites. However, the wood will need periodic resealing, as the linseed oil finish may fade in direct sunlight. The storage bench includes two pressurized supports for convenience to keep the lid open for loading and unloading.

Eliya Wooden Storage Bench

Red Barrel Studio®

What we like: Fir wooden construction

What we don’t like: Comparatively limited storage capacity

If you’re looking for a waterproof outdoor storage bench made from wood rather than plastic, this model is an excellent choice. The solid wood frame results in a highly stylish and durable storage bench. With a more classic look, this storage bench is sure to complement wooden decks and patio furniture beautifully. 

A brace supports the lid, so it won’t close forcefully, and with flexible hinges, you can easily access the contents. Decorative and functional, the storage bench also serves as a charming patio seat. However, you’ll need to purchase an additional seat cushion to improve comfort. 

Storage capacity is somewhat limited at 16.5 gallons but can still provide enough room for smaller sports equipment, gardening tools, or small pool toys.

What we like: Inexpensive and compact design

What we don’t like: Only seats one person

Best of all, however, is that this outdoor storage box is affordably priced for the budget-conscious homeowner. This deck box is also simple to assemble, requiring no tools, and easy to maintain.
