“This is the third deck box I’ve purchased from this company. I also have 2 of the 120 gallon boxes on my patio and decided to go with the 100 gallon “wicker” style box for the deck area. This was a much faster setup than the 120 gallon version. My husband and I together might have taken 7 minutes to assemble. The shipping was super fast too! I expect it to have the same waterproofing as the other 120 gallon version that has stayed completely dry through several bad thunderstorms since we purchased them a week ago. If the 100 gallon “wicker” box doesn’t stay dry like the others,I will update my review.” – Wil (Source: Amazon)

“Storage Box exceeded my expectations! I’ve bought a of few East Oak brands items and each time the quality, ease of assembly and performance have been exceptional. I would recommend East Oak to friends and family as the price is right for a quality product.” – Emy (Source: Amazon)

“Good backyard storage box. This storage box is bigger than I expected. You can see the comparison of my grill. 100 gallons is more than enough for my son’s baseball practice equipment and my garden tools. It only took me and my husband 10 mins to assemble it. It was easy for two person to assemble together. And electric screwdriver saved our time. There are two bars attached to the lid which help open the lid and hold the lid in the open position. I like this design, which keep the lid open when I hold my tools with both hands.” – Dragon (Source: Amazon)

“Easy to assemble and hold a lot. This was easy to assemble and has a lot of space. Not sure on the water resistant yet due to no rain. However, from the quality of it and how the top seals it seems like it will be pretty good. I’ll update once I encounter the rain. It fits all my patio cushions except 2.” – Gloss0bsession (Source: Amazon)

It also came with a small combination lock which is a plus.” – R Nance (Source: Amazon)

Other Outdoor Uses

Poolside Organizer: The EAST OAK deck box serves as the ultimate pool companion, handling the clutter commonly found around a swimming area. Pool toys and maintenance equipment can be neatly tucked away, preventing accidents or the degradation of items left in the sun. Users can store life vests, inflatable balls, maintenance kits including pH test strips and chlorine tablets, as well as swimming accessories like snorkels and fins. When closed, the deck box doubles as a seat for supervising adults or a table to place refreshments. The easy accessibility and protection ensure that pool maintenance and fun are as hassle-free as possible.

Gardening Hub: For gardening enthusiasts, this deck box acts as a central storage unit to organize and protect all gardening essentials from the outdoors. With the capacity to house tools like rakes, shovels, trowels, gloves, and pruning shears, as well as bags of potting mix and fertilizers, everything is in one place. Its water-resistant properties are crucial for storing seeds and bulbs that might otherwise spoil if exposed to moisture. As many gardening tasks require sitting or kneeling, the sturdy deck box can also offer a makeshift sitting solution, potentially lined with a cushion for comfort.

Extra Seating and Storage for Outdoor Events: When hosting outdoor functions, this deck box is a multifunctional powerhouse. It can be used to stow away items that might need to be brought out later in the event, like extra throw blankets, lighting solutions, and various party favors. In the meantime, it serves a dual role as an additional bench or as an impromptu table for food arrangements, games or to display decorative items. Since it easily withstands exposure to the sun and the occasional spill, there’s no need to worry about damage during festivities.

Sports and Recreation Storage: Athletic equipment often creates disarray in garages and yards, but with the EAST OAK deck box, balls, bats, skateboards, and other sporting goods can have their designated spot. At home in the garage, on the porch, or by the playing field, the large capacity facilitates orderly storage of bulky items like goal nets, racquets, and helmets, ready for action. With the inclusion of a free padlock, expensive items like bicycles and high-end gear remain secure yet accessible. This also encourages kids to put things away after use, leading to less clutter and loss.

Patio Furniture Cushion Keeper: Patio cushions are susceptible to dew, rain, and fading from the sun when left outside. The EAST OAK deck box provides a safe haven for these items when not in use. During the summer season, quick access to these cushions makes setting up the patio for guests a breeze, and its UV-resistant material prevents both the storage box and the items within from sun damage. In off-seasons, it offers ample space to keep cushions dry and clean, potentially extending their lifespan and maintaining the aesthetic appeal of outdoor furniture throughout the seasons.
