Product Description

Consumer's Digest awarded the Lifetime Deck Box a Best Buy award in September 2009, stating "This unit delivers the most storage capacity of any deck box and includes the best warranty of any horizontal shed that we found. A spring hinge keeps the lid from slamming shut--a great feature that's unique at this price." Our 130 gallon Lifetime deck box has plenty of room to store all the items that you want to keep in a convenient outdoor location and comes with a strong, lockable, spring-hinged lid which opens to more than 90 degrees for easy access. The versatile design of the Lifetime deck box even allows you to install interior dividers or shelving. This weather-resistant Lifetime deck box is built to withstand the elements with UV-protected high -density polyethylene (HDPE) construction and a water-resistant seal to keep your storage items safe and dry. A great solution for your outdoor storage needs!

5Simply the best
By Dirt Devil
I purchased the Lifetime Deck Box last summer and have been extremely pleased so I decided to write a review. I bought this to replace a Rubbermaid model that warped and would not stay together. Assembly of this product was relatively smooth. There is hardware included to hold the storage box together so it took a bit longer than my last box, maybe 20 minutes or so. The highlights of this unit are the hardware that I mentioned has kept the box sturdy and water tight. The shock hinges hold the lid open while you are getting your things and keep the lid from smashing little fingers. The deck box allows for a padlock to secure the storage. Lastly but most important, IT IS HUGE! I believe it is 130 gallons which I believe is one of the biggest out there.

Bigger, stronger and safer makes this a great value for the price.

5Good so far
By Sam-I-Am
Had this outdoor storage box for about a month now. Was easy to assemble, took about 1.5 hours with TV on the whole time so I was distracted. Had the box outside through 2 snowstorms now, no leaks that I can see. Box seems well designed. I'll see how it holds up in the strong summer sunlight and report back if any problems.

Update 2/27/12: Still going strong. Had this for over a year now I guess. Moved to a new house, and the box survived the move intact and survived the winter outside without a single leak. Still seems very sturdy, no obvious rusting on any components. The front of the box has bowed outwards ever so slightly since I need to push it in a bit with my leg to close the lid. Probably b/c we have a lot of stuff inside and it pushes the front panel outwards somewhat. Not a big deal since the lid closes fine still.

5Sturdy, easy assemble, good instructions, well designed...
By Bill King
... and pretty much dominates the competition at the <$200 price level.
I have not seen any bad reviews anywhere on the internet for this product.
I liked it so much I bought six of them.
Yes it was a big sale, an offer I couldn't refuse :).
UPS drivers loves to deliver them if you order several. They're so large they fill the truck and the driver has a good excuse for having only one delivery stop the whole trip. shipping box 62 x 26 x 8 inches. 56 pounds.

EDIT:There are 19 vertical slots along the long sides of the deck box, so there is plenty of choice how many smaller areas to device the deck box into. Instead of buying 18" x 22" plywood sheets to make vertical dividers, I used Black & Decker electric scissors to cut the shipping box into cardboard sheets. And taped along the sheet edges with folded over 3M packing tape to make the cardboard much stronger. Electric scissors are a must for cutting up cardboard shipping boxes. A boatload of boxes fit into a compactor bag.
