An alternative is the Suncast DBW9936P 122 Gallon extra large resin wicker deck box.
The Suncast GS17500 – 36-Cubic Premium Multi-Purpose Storage Shed is a good size for a storage box that you might want to use for several functions. For example, it is ideal to put outside by your pool for pool cleaning gear, pool toys or even chemicals. It comes with a lockable lid so little fingers are not able to get into trouble.
These units work equally well on a patio or deck for storing cushions out of the weather as well as for those times when you are not using your outdoor seating cushions. Sometimes a large outdoor storage option will just not work with the space you want to put in in, so this one solves that particular problem.
It has a top opening lid for ease of access and the lid can stay propped open. Some people also use it for deck storage of BBQ gear like heat bricks and firelighters, and actually have a couple of matching units for storage of different type items. In a pinch, you can sit on it as well if you need to, because it is only 36 inches in height.
Features of the Suncast GS17500
- The unit has a 36-Cubic foot capacity
- It is designed to be a multi purpose storage shed
- It features a stay dry design
- The unit is very easy to assemble and doesn’t require any tools to put it together
- It is made from a long lasting resin construction
- For safety, it comes with a lockable lid
- Heavy duty 1-1/2-Inches thick double wall, blow molded construction
It’s worth noting that some customers thought the unit was a bit smaller than what is indicated by the pictures. This is because the lid overhangs the walls of the unit and makes it look larger than it really is. So to avoid disappointment, please be aware of this and double check the measurements of the items you want to store in it.
The box needs to be perfectly level for the lid to close completely tight and be rainproof so you will need to make sure the surface you place it on is completely level if you intend placing it out in the yard.
Benefits
- Keeps creatures out, but is not airtight so you might encounter the odd insect in there from time to time
- Keeps your things dry – rain shouldn’t get in unless you leave the lid open.
- Multi-functional – use it for more than one storage purpose if you should need to do so. If you use it to store children’s toys, it will store pool cleaning gear equally as well when no longer required for storage of toys.
- You can have more than one and make matching sets across both patio and yard. Sometimes this works better than one very large storage unit.

Our Recommendation
The Suncast GS17500 – Storage Shed is an excellent multi-functional outdoor storage option that customers have found functional and versatile. Suncast also makes a 20 cubic meter version of this unit, so the versatility extends even further if you need two units, but maybe not both in the 36 cubic meter size. There have been very few negative comments about these units, and customers, for the most part, are very happy with the easy way the unit snaps together, functionality, and price. Based on excellent feedback from customers, the Suncast is recommended.
