When it comes to winter garden prep, storage is often overlooked. Cushions, tools and toys left outside can quickly get damp, mouldy or damaged by frost. While it’s not essential or convenient to have a shed, it is important to have somewhere to store them where they are protected from the elements.
If you don’t have space for something substantial, a weather-resistant container that won’t take up too much space is ideal. This Keter Marvel+ 270L outdoor garden storage box, available from Habitat for £33.75 (reduced from £45) is a great option. It has over 1,300 five-star reviews from satisfied customers and in addition to being waterproof it is also lockable but you will need your own padlock.
In addition to tools, the box is cited as being the perfect place to store cushions for outdoor furniture that won’t get damp or mouldy. One reviewer wrote: “This box clicked together very easily with no tools required. I have used it to store garden tools and camp chairs and it has all remained fully dry through rain downpours. Very impressive.” Another person wrote: “This was perfect for storing our chair cushions etc. Strong and water-tight, highly recommended.
It’s compact enough for smaller gardens, measuring 57cm high, 116.7cm wide, with a depth of 44.7cm, but large enough to hold uptp 270L of stuff. It’s also very sturdy with its lid capable of holding 220kg, making it suitable to be used as a seat. However, not everyone was in agreement with some people saying the box felt flimsy.
