Looking to tidy up your yard? Sheds, deck boxes, and other plastic garden storage products can improve your yard’s appearance by helping you to keep your stuff out of sight. But with a wide range of products on the market, it can be difficult to find a storage product that fits your needs. This article explores the pros and cons of eight types of plastic garden storage products.

Deck Boxes
If you’re short on space, consider Suncast’s 50-gallon Original Deck Box. If you need more than 44 gallons of storage space, consider Suncast’s larger 99-gallon and 127-gallon deck boxes, or even a storage shed.

Patio Benches
Suncast’s PB6700 Patio Bench ingeniously opens up to provide 44 gallons of storage. If you want a storage device that doubles as a place to sit, you can’t beat this product. On the downside, the bench takes up more space than Suncast’s smaller deck boxes. If space is at a premium, consider Suncast’s Mini Patio Bench, which has a 31-gallon capacity.

Storage Seats
Suncast SS1000 Storage Seat provides a place to sit, as well as 22 gallons of storage. It’s a good choice if space is too tight for a patio bench.

Storage Cabinets
Suncast’s C3600G Utility Storage Base Cabinet has two shelves, each of which supports up to 75 pounds of weight. The vertical orientation of this cabinet makes it easier to put things in and take them out again without bending over.

Food Prep Stations
Suncast’s DCP2000 Prep Station is perfect for barbecuing and outdoor food preparation. It provides two storage cabinets, as well as 40 inches of cutting and prepping surface. Read the full story

There are many types of plastic utility carts that can be used for just about any purpose imaginable. Utility carts are used in homes, offices, garages, and potentially any other room in a home or business. Plastic utility carts are durable and easy to move from one area to another.

Types

Plastic utility carts come in many sizes and weights. Carts can be as short as 16 inches, and as tall as 36 inches or more. They come in many different styles as well, from 2 shelves to 5 or 6 shelves, or as many shelves and height as needed.

Utility carts are available with handles that allow for easy moving and transporting items. Wheels can be used or removed for greater stability. You can also find some that have flip-up side shelves for extra storage or temporary uses. Some even have lockable storage areas, and invisible rack systems for cord and/or wire storage. And the beauty is that they come in a variety of colors to match the décor of almost any room.

Uses

Plastic utility carts are available in different weights, depending on the intended usage of the cart. Lightweight carts are good for storing smaller items in an office, for example storing paper near a copier, coffee items in the break room, or paper products in a small office bathroom.

Medium weight plastic utility carts are very handy in a home kitchen with limited cabinet space. Canisters, small microwave units, even often dishes that are used often can be easily stored on them as well.

In the garage, these handy carts can be used to store items from tools to flower pots and bags of potting soil. In the children’s playroom, the deep shelves on plastic utility trays are great for getting the larger, bulkier toys off the floor. Small televisions can easily be moved from room to room if stored on a utility tray with wheels.

College dorm rooms will suddenly have more space and storage area by using the them to store things like coffee pots, wrapped food, or even bulky clothing items such as sweaters which will clear up room in the often limited drawer space. Read the full story
