LIFETIME 60012 Extra Large Deck Box, 130 Gallon, Desert Sand/Brown

This 130 gallon by Lifetime seems very sturdy and durable and it’s very large. Perfect for all of our pool toys and plenty of storage to store some things in it for the winter. It took my husband and I 30 minutes to put it together. The very last bolt was a challenge but we got it in. I will be purchasing the cover to protect it during the 9 months it won’t be used. I would recommend this product.

Haven't been this quick to write a review needless to say I really like this product right off the bat. I got this a couple of days ago and put it together yesterday. Being a new pool owner we needed something to put some of the pool items away from the elements. This seemed to me a good choice as far as size and price. It is plastic which I'm not really a fan of the look but for the most part we just needed it to be functional. I bought a cover to go over it which keeps it water proof and it actually doesn't look that bad. I have put together many, MANY things, from exercise equipment to shelves to desk etc over the years. Obviously this is a box not much else to say it should be easy to put together. With the way they design these things and the hardware that you get to hold it all together it seems that it wouldn't be very durable. All the bolts screw into the plastic but all the joints and lid seemed to match up and seem solid. As long as you don't over-tighten the bolts all is good. Having all the sockets and box wrenches helped, a decent tool box like the Stanley 145 piece set from Walmart that I bought a while back was really handy I used it more here that I have since I bought it. All the panels are light weight and easy to move around it says that you need a rubber mallet I didn't have to use it all the piece easily fit together with a little force. The hinges have a very simple air cylinder that seems to work well, I would say that would be something to see how long it last but it does seem solid and the hinge as a whole works well. Overall it very easy to put together with the proper tools and seems like it will last. When you put it together as the instructions say you put the walls together first and then work on the lid and hinges. If you put the lid on the box walls it will get it off the ground to make it easier to work on, just a tip. Also when putting on the hinges the lid will not stay up if you don't have someone to help hold it up you could use a wall to prop it up. Now the size. This was the largest box I could find for the cheapest amount of money. We don't have a lot stored in the box. In all we have two fold up gravity chairs, three pool noodles, goggles, snorkels, diving rings and two pool floating chairs that are full of air but can fold up enough to shove in there. The goggles and small stuff doesn't take up that much space so there is room to put a few more small stuff. The chairs have to be leaning to the side to put the lid down but the noodles go in the little void they make. It's pretty easy to get what you need in there, it's not a lot but enough to keep things protected and out of the sun and rain. My pool and that side of my house faces south so it's in the sun all day. Any chair or items lying around with no protection will get baked. We have a large pad of concrete around the pool coming up to the house so there was plenty of room to set the box next to the house with no issues being in the way. If you have a deck around your pool or are placing this inside a garage it's about the size of a large freezer chest so it will take up some room. Along with buying this is I bought the cover to go over the top of it to make it water proof. I'm sure that this box would be water resistant but not to sure if it would keep out a heavy rain. The cover was $30 which in total still makes it cheaper than the rubbermaid box that is the same size. The cover is a perfect fit and with drawstrings on both sides and elastic at the bottom so it will stay on. In all I would highly recommend this box for storage and would also recommend getting the cover if you need it to be water proof. This could also be used as a table or a bar like area to put your spread of food. Overall this was a great purchase for our needs at a great price.

Needed something to store my generator gas and other misc. items instead of in my garage. After reading reviews I decided on this item. Not disappointed at all. It was easy to put together and only took about 30 minutes. You will want a rubber mallet and you'll want to be careful seating the panels with it as I discovered they dent fairly easily. And as at least one person's review indicated the lock holes in the lid and front panel are different sizes with the lid hole being bigger so I had to use a step drill bit to enlarge the bottom hole a bit so my lock would fit through it, but this is minor. Now, how it will hold up in the scorching Houston sun is yet to be determined. But, overall so far I'm very happy with it. It has a very large capacity. As you see in my pics I have 4, 5 gallon gas cans, a 2 gallon can, my small Weber grill and other items and still have plenty of room.

Tried to save a few bucks and ordered a cheaper storage box that arrived cracked and felt cheap. Returned that and ordered the Lifetime. Very happy with the strength of the material and overall construction. I did have an issue with the assembly though. I could not initially get the side panels to attach to the base. Eventually I realized the small line of excess plastic on the edge of the panels that is created when the panels are formed stuck out so far that the tabs would not reach down far enough. I had to use a utility knife to clean up all the edges, then it went together smoothly. Definitely made assembly frustrating until I got it figured out, but am very happy with the final result.

Purchased this deck box over 10 years ago. Assembly was easy and it has been moved at least twice in its time. Its still as sturdy as day one, no leaks, no holes, no issues. The lid stays securely closed even without a lock.

Okay number one this is really heavy duty really heavy duty. Those are some solid panels and the connections are good It's really well engineered everything fits great. Okay the only issue I kind of have is that the top is a gray brown definitely gray brown in that order and that's probably why it's cheaper They got more of them than they want then we'll sell so they lower the price to move them out. Anyway I don't have a problem with that until the sun hits it and it gets super hot because it's dark and I'll have to throw something over it like a pre-cut bit of bubble sandwich reflector whichever probably hold on with 3M 2-in Velcro also available at your convenience. I think it would also go well on a utility trailer or maybe in the back of your pickup truck especially with some added security of some kind. It is definitely tough enough to survive in a mobile type application. One improvement that I would make and will probably make is I'm going to figure out a way to hold the lid when it's open flat so it works like a table and I don't think that'll be hard for a hacker/scavenger to figure out how to do that I will verify that the lid does in fact open although there's some interference right at the crack where you would expect it to occur. I would not depend on the existing setup to hold any weight however and it will definitely need at least a couple of folding legs or something. And again that's mostly for mobile use when you need a table and can't use it closed.

I may have reviewed this item before, but I just bought my fourth one recently and these deck boxes are great. One is in the chicken run for all their supplies. One on the deck for various garden accessories and charcoal. I have one for storing coal outside my blacksmith shop. The new one is for pool supplies. This one went together easier than I recall previous ones, so I think the manufacturing tolerances have improved- they weren’t bad before, but this one just went together super easy. All four keep the contents dry. One, because of its location, I have to keep a ring through the hasp or it can blow open. Can’t say enough good things about this deck box. It’s an excellent product priced right.

I’ve accumulated a lot of outdoor equipment over the years between yard maintenance, camping gear, motorcycle accessories, hauling equipment, and general household storage. I wanted something larger than a typical deck box but without dedicating the space and cost of a full shed. This storage box landed right in that sweet spot. The first thing that impressed me was the amount of storage space. The interior is huge. What started as a place to store outdoor cushions quickly expanded to include extension cords, tie-down straps, recovery gear, gardening supplies, and several items that had been cluttering my garage shelves. Assembly was straightforward and easier than I expected for something this size. Once assembled, the dual-wall construction felt solid and sturdy. It doesn’t feel flimsy or lightweight, and the lid has a substantial feel when opening and closing. The lid design is one of my favorite features. The spring-assisted hinges make it easy to open, and it stays open while loading or unloading equipment. I’ve owned storage boxes where the lid constantly wanted to close on me, and that never became an issue here. The controlled closing action also prevents the lid from slamming shut. Weather protection has been excellent. We’ve had rain, dust, wind, and intense sun exposure, and everything stored inside has remained clean and dry. That’s especially important for some of my camping gear, power tools, and electronics that occasionally get stored outdoors between trips. One unexpected benefit is that it doubles as extra seating when friends and family are over. The sturdy construction allows it to function like a bench, which is useful during cookouts and backyard gatherings when extra seating is needed. The lockable lid is another nice feature. I don’t keep valuables inside, but it does provide some peace of mind and helps keep curious kids from digging through equipment and tools. I also appreciate that it requires virtually no maintenance. Unlike wood storage boxes that eventually need painting or sealing, this one simply sits outside and does its job. A quick rinse with a hose is usually all it needs to keep looking good. The size works particularly well for homeowners who need serious storage but don’t have room for a dedicated shed. It swallows a surprising amount of equipment while maintaining a relatively clean appearance on a patio or along the side of the house. After several weeks of use, it’s become one of the most practical storage solutions I’ve added to my property. Everything stays organized, protected from the weather, and easy to access whenever I need it. For anyone looking to reclaim garage space or clean up outdoor clutter, this storage box offers far more capacity and versatility than its appearance initially suggests.

Coffre de très bonne qualité, parois épaisse, seul bémol pas étanche, mais un joint en silicone a l'intérieur et c'est top.

Ich brauchte eine wetterfeste Box für meine Sandfilterpumpe, die Größe und Doppelwandigkeit kamen mir ideal vor - also bestellt. Die Box kam in wenigen Einzelteilen mit einer sehr ausführlichen und bebilderten Anleitung an. Der Steckmechanismus ist gut durchdacht, man braucht für den Zusammenbau aber schon einiges an Werkzeug (Ratsche mit verschiedenen Nüssen, Schraubenzieher, Hammer (nur für 1 Vorgang). Die vier Wände mit Boden waren in 5 min zusammengesteckt, aber der Schließmechanismus mit Gasfeder erforderte einige Steck/Schraubarbeiten. Es hat sich gelohnt: Die Box macht einen superstabilen Eindruck, der Deckel schließt passgenau und satt, ist nur mit etwas Kraftaufwand zu öffnen (Er schnappt praktisch ein). Ich musste dann wegen der Fremdnutzung (Pumpe, Schläuche) leider an 2 Stellen Löcher schneiden und das tat mir wirklich leid um die schöne Box. Interessant beim Zerschneiden: Die Wände sind wirklich doppelt und mit "Verstrebungen" stabilisiert. Ich kann die Box wärmstens empfehlen und habe mir noch eine zweite für die eigentliche Nutzung bestellt.

Diese Box ist einfach toll. Sehr stabil sehr schön in der Ansicht und die Qualität ist ausgezeichnet. Diese Box kann ich sehr empfehlen, nur die deutsche Beschreibung fehlte. Aber sie wurde mir trotzdem sehr schnell und gut aufgebaut.

Excelente caja de almacenamiento. Tiene muy buena capacidad, es resistente y ayuda a mantener todo protegido y organizado en exteriores. Fue fácil de armar y luce muy bien en el patio.

大きさはおもっていたとおり しかし日本製と違ってツールが無いと作れないし女性の手ではなかなか完成できない。 だいたい家に無いツールが必要なのが困った。 でも出来上がりは思ったとおり良いです。
