About this product
This heavy duty storage box is brilliant for keeping garage and garden bits organised and protected from dust and damp. It's got a generous 42l capacity, so there's plenty of room for tools, plant pots, seasonal decorations, or anything else you need to tuck away. The lid clips down securely with strong locks to keep everything safe and dry inside, and it stacks neatly with other boxes so you can make the most of your space without taking over the whole shed or garage.
The black plastic is tough enough to handle regular use, and it arrives fully assembled so you can start using it straight away. The secure clip locks mean the lid stays put, even if you're moving it around or stacking boxes on top. It's a simple, no-nonsense solution for anyone who needs reliable storage that keeps things dry and makes the most of vertical space. Just the kind of practical box that quietly sorts out your storage without any fuss.
- Box size H35, W40, D50cm.
- Weight 1.99kg.
- Fully assembled.

Inaccurate Dimensions
This really annoys me. I measured what I needed to fit in a storage box and bought the box based on the dimensions in the description but they are WAY off! Storage box description should give internal dimensions, not the widest outer dimensions exaggerating the storage capacity. The length here is lid handle to handle so my items don’t fit. Dumb.

Excellent durability and capacity
We've bought 8 of these so far to help with storage in our attic, they're durable, have excellent capacity and stack well. We've managed to save loads of space by consolidating cardboard boxes into these larger boxes, and feel our items are safer and better stored. If you need water tight, durable storage I couldn't recommend these enough.
