There's nothing like spending time outdoors when the weather is nice, but like any space around your home, your living areas outside likely come with cushions, gardening tools, games, and other things that need a storage spot. Not to fear, we have rounded up 10 stellar deck boxes that can hold practically any set of objects to protect them from rain and the sun.

You can peruse all these outdoor storage boxes below to find the one that best fits your aesthetic and needs for your space to complete your outdoor room. Some of them can even double as additional seating or a table too. As you look through these options, consider the space where it will live and what will best coordinate with your outdoor furniture, outdoor rugs, and patio or deck design there.

Perhaps you need one by your swimming pool to hold pool toys and floats, or one might come in handy near your outdoor living room to store cushions in? You'll also want to think about whether you want a box made of teak or another natural wood or a weather-resistant resin or other material. No matter what you are looking for, there are many options of deck boxes to choose from!

What Reviewers Say: “I bought this storage chest at least 8 or 9 years ago, it has been outside for about 8 months a year on my deck on the lake in Michigan. It really keeps my cushions clean and dry, I'm amazed that it still looks great after all this time. Love it!!”

Its look will coordinate beautifully with teak or other outdoor furniture, and the box is available with either a 48-inch or 60-inch width and comes with a one-year warranty.

What Reviewers Say: “The delivery was seamless and the storage box came well packaged with all of the parts and easy to follow assembly instructions. We just put it together yesterday and it's now sitting outside on our deck. It's a beautiful piece that will fit perfectly into our porch refresh. Following others' advice, I bought some teak oil to seal it and protect it from the rain.”

The beauty of teak shines in this chest design with panels of horizontal slats that enable air circulation and come in either a golden natural teak or gray weathered teak finish. Its feet raise up the bottom of the chest so it doesn’t sit in water, and its 25.5-inch height—available in either 52- or 67-inch width—means it also functions well as a bench or buffet. Teak can be treated regularly to maintained its current look or allowed to patina with beautiful silver-gray streaks over time.

What Reviewers Say: “This is my second purchase of this teak chest. The first purchase was over 20 years ago and I finally had to replace it. The quality and materials are second to none, and the current chest seems to be of even better quality. I am looking forward to enjoying it for the next 20 years and beyond.”
