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.

This is a keeper. It was easy to assemble, sturdy and I love that the lid props open. I purchased the 130 gallon deck box and can easily fit several folding lawn chairs into along with pool noodle and other toys.

Love it!! I would definitely recommend this box. It is sturdy and the top stays up, even in a partially open position. The box is large and fits so many things! We have it outside/undercover and it appears to be weather tight. I’m very happy with this purchase.

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

Perfect but was missing some screws, two

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.
