Rubbermaid 73-Gallon Medium Resin Outdoor Deck Box, Brown — Weather-Resistant Storage & Seating

Compact yet capacious, this medium deck box gives you a tidy, maintenance-free option for corralling outdoor clutter. Built from UV-resistant heavy-duty resin with double-wall construction and an innovative water-shedding lid, it resists rust, rot and fading so contents stay dry and protected. The top is reinforced for use as occasional seating or a side table, and the unit accepts a padlock for extra security (lock sold separately).

How much will it hold and what fits best?

The box provides 73 gallons of interior capacity—large enough for small patio cushions, a few pool chemicals in sealed containers, gardening tools, and children’s outdoor toys. Its rectangular footprint makes efficient use of deck or patio corners while allowing easier stacking and organizing inside.

• 73-gallon interior volume for cushions, toys, and supplies
• Flat-bottom design supports heavier items without bowing
• Rectangular shape fits along railings, walls, or beside furniture

Will it stand up to weather and sun exposure?

Yes. The resin construction is UV resistant and designed not to rust, rot or fade, so the deck box maintains its appearance and integrity outdoors. The lid has a water-shedding profile to help keep rain and snow from pooling or seeping into the interior.

• UV-resistant heavy-duty resin resists fading
• Water-shedding lid minimizes moisture intrusion
• Impact-resistant floor tolerates drops and heavy items

Is it sturdy enough to sit on and secure?

Double-wall construction gives added strength and stability, allowing the top to support occasional seating or act as a small tabletop. For theft deterrence or child-safety, the front accepts a standard padlock (not included) to keep contents secure when needed.

• Double-wall walls improve rigidity and load-bearing capacity
• Top surface rated for occasional seating or light use as a table
• Lockable front loop accommodates a padlock (sold separately)

How easy is assembly and day-to-day maintenance?

Assembly is straightforward with common tools and clear instructions; parts snap and screw together to create a solid unit. Cleaning is simple—wipe with a damp cloth or hose off—and the resin surface resists staining and mildew when kept reasonably dry.

• Tool-assisted assembly with snap-fit components
• Wipe-clean resin surface for low maintenance
• Durable finish resists staining and mildew buildup
