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

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

This 7.81 lb. box offers 30 gallons of storage capacity for your garden, pool, or patio if you need outdoor waterproof storage in a lightweight, compact package. Moderately spacious, this deck box is made from waterproof and UV-protected resin material. 

This deck box can also substitute as a seat, supporting up to 220 lb. on its top surface. However, the narrow 22.75” W dimensions only make it suitable for a single person. The flat-topped design is sufficiently versatile to serve as a coffee table. 

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.
