Product Information
Full details
The Gardebruk 385L Metal Storage Box is an ideal organizational solution for homeowners seeking a durable, weather-resistant alternative to plastic containers for their patio, deck, or garage. It offers a spacious 385-litre capacity perfect for storing seat cushions, tools, and outdoor accessories while keeping them secure and dry; however, users should note that the unit requires assembly and its metal construction is heavier than standard resin boxes.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Is the box completely waterproof?
The box is designed to be weather-resistant and features an overlapping lid design to shed rain. While highly effective at keeping contents dry, it is intended for outdoor use and not for submersion.
Can I leave this outside during winter?
Yes, the galvanised, powder-coated steel is built for all-season use and can withstand harsh outdoor temperatures.
Does it come with a floor?
Yes, the unit includes a reinforced base plate supported by 5 struts for added stability.
Can the storage box be secured to the ground?
The unit is heavy enough to remain stable on its own, but users can drill through the base plate to anchor it to a concrete surface if high-wind security is a concern.
How many keys are included?
The product includes two keys for the lockable mechanism.
Troubleshooting
The lid does not stay open.
Check the gas springs to ensure they are properly mounted and tightened. If they appear damaged, ensure they were installed with the correct orientation as shown in the manual.
The lock does not latch correctly.
Verify that the storage box is sitting on a perfectly level surface. If the ground is uneven, the frame may twist slightly, preventing the lock from aligning with the catch.
Pros and Cons

Cons
- Requires manual assembly

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best results, assemble the unit on a flat, level surface to ensure structural integrity and correct lid alignment. Do not overtighten screws during the assembly phase, as this can deform the sheet metal. To maintain the finish, wipe down the exterior with a soft, damp cloth periodically to remove dust or debris. Since it is made of powder-coated steel, avoid using harsh abrasive cleaners or steel wool, which could scratch the protective layer. If the box is placed on natural ground rather than a paved surface, consider adding a rubber mat underneath the feet to prevent sinking or corrosion over extended periods.
