Simon, This is fantastic review of outdoor storage boxes. I love how varied they are in different looks and sizes to enclose all our storage problems in an attractive way. I know of so many people who have no way to store outdoor things like toys, mowers, pool toys like rafts and floats, and outdoor seat cushions so they just leave them out in the elements. Not good, plus a horrid sight.
I live in the states. Is there a place we can purchase them here?
