Product Information
Full details
The Suncast Moda Stow-Away Resin Garden Storage unit in Peppercorn Grey is ideal for homeowners seeking to conceal unsightly wheelie bins or organize outdoor essentials like cushions, bicycles, or firewood. Its primary benefit is providing a neat, discreet, and durable storage solution that enhances curb appeal. A minor consideration is that a padlock is required for security, as it's not included. This unit features a robust, UV- and water-resistant resin construction, twin front-opening doors, a lift-up lid with gas struts for easy access, and soft-close hinges.

FAQs
What are the external dimensions of the storage unit?
Please refer to the product's specific dimension sheet or packaging for exact external measurements, as these can vary slightly by model.
Can I lock the storage unit?
Yes, the unit is designed with a lockable mechanism. However, a padlock is not included and must be purchased separately.
How much weight can the lid support?
The lid is designed to lift easily with the gas struts and is not intended to support significant external weight when open. Refer to the product manual for specific weight limit information if available.
Is assembly difficult?
Assembly is designed to be straightforward, typically requiring basic tools and following step-by-step instructions. Many users find it manageable with one or two people.
What is the warranty period for this product?
Warranty information is typically provided by the manufacturer and can be found on the product packaging or the Suncast website. Please consult your purchase documentation for specifics.
Can this unit withstand harsh weather conditions?
Yes, it is constructed from steel-reinforced, UV- and water-resistant resin, designed for durable outdoor use year-round. However, extreme conditions may require additional precautions.
How do I clean the resin surface?
Clean the resin with a soft cloth and mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
Troubleshooting
Lid or doors do not close smoothly.
Ensure the unit is on a level surface. Check for any obstructions in the path of the doors or lid. Verify that the gas struts and hinges are properly installed and free of debris.
Water is pooling inside the unit after rain.
Check that the unit is correctly assembled and that any drainage holes (if applicable) are not blocked. Ensure the lid is properly seated.
Unit feels unstable.
Confirm the unit is placed on a level and firm surface. For added stability, especially in windy locations, consider anchoring the unit to the ground (anchoring hardware not included).
Gas struts are not functioning correctly.
Ensure the struts are correctly oriented and securely attached according to the assembly instructions. They may require some initial 'settling' or use to operate at full capacity.
