Q:what size cushion fits on the top? It looks like there is a raised edge.
by|May 29, 2020
5 Answers
Answer This Question

A:  Inside the raised edge it measures 18 x 36. The edge is slightly beveled from back to front going from around 1.75 inches to 3/4 inch (approx). The seat itself is flat, so a cushion would stay put. I haven't tried putting a cushion on it and raising the lid, but I think that back edge would help prevent sliding off at least up to a point. Hope that helps, good luck.

          A:  It's probably about 4 ft by 2 ft. It was not to heavy, just a little awkward to handle (that's cuz I'm a girl)!

          by|Jun 2, 2020

          A:  When I purchased it, it was unboxed and assembled. I'm not sure there is a box for it, but there may be. I picked it up from pickup counter (online order), and they had pulled it from the garden center - so not sure - but I don't think it comes with a package. I think it's sold this way, unpackaged. Therefore the 'dimensions of the box' are identical to the size of the box.

          by|Jun 2, 2020

          A:  It is a flat box, so it is easy to carry.

          by|Jun 2, 2020

            A:  sorry bought it several years ago and don't remember size of box it came in but easy to put together and it's still like new

                by|May 10, 2020

                  A:  We’ve had ours for a couple years now and it hasn’t faded at all. We live in CT so we do bring it into our garage in the winter to avoid the ice and snow but leave it out the other 3/4 of the year and it’s held up well!

                  by|May 4, 2020

                    A:  I have mine in Full afternoon sun on my deck this will be the 3rd summer. I have not noticed any fading it does get real hot though. But this Box is Great for the price. I would recommend this box. It is Great for the storage. I put deck furniture covers in it. Works Awesome.

                        A:  Outside dimensions are: 40-1/2" wide x 22" high x 21-1/8" deep (front to back). Inside dimensions are: 39-1/4" wide x 18-3/4" high x 18-1/4" deep (front to back). Note: the inside dimensions were difficult to accurately measure due to the irregular surface and the rim around the inside of the perimeter but they are accurate to +/- 1/8".

                          Q:Is there a way to lock it

                          A:  There is no built-in way to lock it. You could maybe drill and add your own lock, but I do not think that would work well based on how the lid meets the base.

                          by|May 4, 2020

                                    A:  It doesn't come ready to lock, however, you could add a lock by drilling holes and putting a clasp on it. Make sure you silicone the places where you drill or you will compromise the water tightness.

                                              A:  I would say 6 to7 regular cushions. Less if they are the very puffy ones.

                                                    A:  That really depends on the size of what one considers a "regular" cushion to be. If it's helpful, the inside dimensions of the box are 39-1/4" long by 18-1/4" wide by 18-3/4" deep. You could now measure a "regular" cushion and determine how many could fit.

You could check with like an auto-body shop, if it’s that important to you to change the color, but who knows if they would do it or how much that would cost you. Hope this helps, even though I don’t think I was all that helpful. Anyway, good luck! WickedKitty >^.^<

                                                                        by|Jan 7, 2020

It is a resin material which could or could not be damaged if one attempts to drill holes to attach a lock bracket. I can only suggest you find a similar material and test it for drilling holes to attach hardware for a lock of some kind. That would help one to determine if it would damage the box. I found this is a great deck box because I can store lots of patio coverings, pillows, tarps in it. It offers so much room. However; I have no need for a lock on it. Good Luck with this and test a scrap piece first.
