FAQs
Does the storage box come with a padlock?
No, the box is designed with a lockable latch, but you must provide your own padlock to secure it.
Can I leave the storage box outside all winter?
Yes, the box is made from high-quality, weather-resistant resin designed to withstand outdoor conditions throughout the year.
How many adults can sit on the box?
The lid is reinforced to support the weight of two adults comfortably.
What are the external dimensions?
The external dimensions are approximately 147cm in length, 82cm in width, and 85cm in height.
Is the box completely waterproof?
The box is designed to be weatherproof, keeping contents dry during typical rain, though it is not intended to be submerged in water.
Do I need special tools for assembly?
No, the assembly features a clip-together design that does not require standard hand tools like screwdrivers or hammers.
Troubleshooting
Lid does not stay open
Check that the gas-assisted pistons are correctly clicked into their mounting points and that no debris is obstructing the hinge mechanism.
Panels feel loose after assembly
Go back and ensure each clip-together joint is fully engaged; sometimes a firm press is needed to snap the panels into their final locked position.
Lid feels misaligned
Ensure the storage box is placed on a perfectly level surface, as uneven ground can cause the frame to twist, preventing the lid from closing square.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To assemble the box, ensure you have a flat, level surface in your garden or patio. The unit utilizes a clip-together system; ensure all panels are snapped firmly into place until you hear a click to guarantee structural integrity. For ongoing maintenance, simply wipe the resin exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove dirt or debris. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, as these can degrade the finish over time. While the unit is designed to be weatherproof, it is recommended to keep it on a stable surface such as paving or decking rather than directly on soft soil to ensure the drainage and mechanical parts function optimally.
