    What great through information you provided here! By the time I got done reading I needed to know how much! Being an out-doorsy person with animals and dogs I can think of so many uses for these boxes. My dog agility yard is scattered with small bits and pieces that would certainly look better if they were out of sight. I love how these boxes double as an extra seat, and I LOVE that although they should last a LONG time, they are recycle-able and come in so many different colors! That is cool. I will have to save up my pennies. I would like to know if any recycled materials go into the making of these well designed storage boxes?

      Hi Shelley,

      Thanks for reading the Keter Glenwood deck box review.

      Yeah, we used to have stuff scattered around the garden but once we purchased a garden storage box like this, tidying up became so easy, now we look out onto a clean environment. It only takes 2 minutes to open the box and clear the space whether indoors or out, the reason many opt to purchase additional storage boxes for different uses, their storage purposes are quite diverse.

      Personally we decided to choose a deck box with sturdy seating ability and a flat lid to provide table-top services. It’s great when visitors arrive or a BBQ times as the box can serve these additional requirements when seating becomes sparse or extra table top room is required.

      The polypropylene resin is weather-resistant withstanding rust, rot and decay whilst also providing defence against colour fade and cracking when exposed to sun rays and as you mention they are all made out of recyclable polypropylene resin which is as environmental friendly as possible.

      I have tried to find the answer whether they are manufactured from recycled plastics but to no avail however as long as the finished product can be used again suits me.

      Hope this helps Shelley and good luck choosing your deck box,

      Simon.
