FAQs

What are the overall dimensions of the storage box?

The dimensions of the Alfresia 870L Garden Cushion Storage Box are 147cm in length, 82cm in width, and 86cm in height.

Is the storage box waterproof?

The box is constructed from weather-resistant resin designed to withstand UK weather, including rain. However, it is not entirely waterproof, and significant water ingress can occur during heavy downpours or if the lid is not securely closed.

What is the capacity of the storage box?

The storage box has a generous capacity of 870 litres, providing ample space for cushions and various garden accessories.

Do I need tools to assemble this storage box?

Assembly instructions typically involve simple click-together or screw-fasten mechanisms. While some minor tools like a screwdriver might be occasionally required depending on the specific model, it is generally designed for straightforward assembly without complex tools.

Can this storage box be left outside year-round?

Yes, it is built from materials designed to withstand UK weather conditions and resist warping, fading, and cracking, making it suitable for year-round outdoor storage.

What material is the storage box made from?

The storage box is made from high-quality, weather-resistant polypropylene with a wood-effect finish.

Is the lid lockable?

The product description mentions a 'secure, easy-lift lid' but does not specify if it includes a lock. Typically, these boxes are designed for storage and organization rather than high security.

Troubleshooting

The lid does not close properly.

Ensure there are no items obstructing the lid's path. Check that the box is on a level surface. Verify that the lid components are correctly aligned during assembly.

Water is collecting inside the box.

Check for any gaps in the lid seal or panel connections. Ensure the box is positioned to allow water runoff and is not in a low-lying area prone to flooding. Some models may have small drainage holes in the base; ensure these are not blocked.

The material appears faded or discoloured.

While designed to resist fading, prolonged direct sunlight can eventually cause minor discolouration. Ensure the product is not exposed to excessive UV rays if possible, or clean with a mild cleaner to restore appearance.

Assembly is difficult.

Refer to the instruction manual provided with the product. Ensure all parts are correctly identified before starting. If issues persist, contact customer support for assistance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Assembly is required for the Alfresia 870L Garden Cushion Storage Box. Please refer to the included instruction manual for step-by-step guidance. Typically, this involves connecting the side panels, base, and lid sections, often with simple click-together or screw-fasten mechanisms.

Care:

To maintain its appearance and functionality:
