When you love the outdoor lifestyle, you like to keep things tidy. What are you going to do with all those garden furniture cushions through winter, when you're not using your garden furniture so much? Do you have room for them outdoors, or would some great garden storage solutions be the best idea?
Take a look at these. Some are large, some smaller, but they're all designed with alfresco pleasure and good looks in mind. The biggest can store an impressive amount of garden gear, including sturdy shelves and brackets. They even come with a dual purpose. The low-level garden storage boxes double up as garden seating, offering you extra places to sit and chill outdoor with guests, friends, family, a good book or a glass of something chilled.
While most are made from strong, attractive textured resin, we have a wooden garden storage box for you from Florenity, made from FSC Certified eucalyptus wood with a beautiful blue-grey washed paint finish.
Choose from smart, cool greys and rich browns, stash loads of alfresco entertainment gear with ease, lock it up safe if you like. Just add your own padlock...
