YardStash76 Gallon Waterproof Deck Box, Portable Outdoor Storage Box for All Weather Tarpaulin Deck Box, Perfect for the Boat, Yard, Patio, or Camping – 76 Gallon, M Green

I bought this 3 years ago and overall liked it, I guess, just can't find anything better in the price range, remember having no problems assembling it, although it was coming apart, the velcro can be annoying. So I decided to get another one so I can easily store my truck cover outside. I DID get a warehouse item for $70, so maybe that was the problem, but it came rolled up and the connectors were all in one bag. I forgot they were different. The connectors ARE different so read those instructions. The poles had numbers in white stickers on them so I could easily identify them but the connectors' numbers are carved in black and you can't see them without shining a light on them and maybe a magnifying glass. Fortunately I put the right connectors on the base which was hard to insert. If you can, get somebody to help you. Then I started putting the connectors on the rest of it before I realized they were different and had to take them apart. Once I got that right I proceeded to the end, and yet another hurdle. I still had trouble getting the final pole in. I took it apart and tried and tried again until miraculously it snapped in. Then as I was pulling the material over the frame the other connector came loose. Ok, so I fixed that. And I get the material over and one piece of velcro won't reach, so I realize I don't have the material all the way over one corner, so I yank and yank and then I get scared the whole thing will come apart, so I stopped with one little droopy corner. All the buckles snapped together, it's together, I won't return it, but I won't buy it again. This is the medium one I'm talking about. I wanted the big one, but I'd lose my sanity assembling it. So tired of paying big bucks and still having to assemble, aren't you? The way stores can compete with amazon is by selling EVERYTHING assembled. The medium is usually around $100 and the large usually around $200. I think that's way overpriced. The $70 I paid for the warehouse item is too much. Maybe $50 because the material is high quality, I think. But hard rain can pound on it and create a puddle that could take it apart. So I can't really recommend it.Update November 2023: I bought it again, this time the XL one, because it was half off the regular price. That's the only reason. It was easier to assemble this time because I remembered the part about the connectors. It took me about half an hour, maybe more, partly because I am old and tired and partly because my German Shepherd, Sugar, kept jumping in the middle of it and throwing her ball in it and just bothering me to death. I told her if she kept this rough playtime up I would put her in it and bury her in it. Aw, I'm just kidding. I love her. And I kinda like this. Good material. Good. I'll recommend it. Just remember to look at the numbers etched on those connectors.

Durable material. Heavy duty. Has more space than expected easily stored when not in use (summer months)

The framew was easy to put together but the top of the cover was difficult to put over the frame and it does not fit exactly where it should by about half an inch. Otherwise a 5

Great alternative for a “end of the driveway” package container. Had several of the plastic storage boxes for delivery services to put packages in but always had to replace due to high winds blowing the lids off or the small plastic pieces that hold the lids would snap. The angle helps rainwater flow off the container instead of in it and instead of the lid simply falling into place or being held by a small part this box gives you 4 buckles to snap. Sure it might take a few seconds longer to open it but worth it for me. If you live in close proximity to others you would need to lock it somehow and put weights in it to keep it held in place for strong winds. Also has a vent in front you can open and close for air flow. It’s definitely more for holding lawn supplies or deck pillows but I feel like I made a very good purchase with this one and for what purpose it’s serving.

So I do really like this product. It’s perfect to put your outdoor furniture cushions in over winter. We also use it to keep our kindling next to the house and covered. Works great in the winter and we had some rough storms. I wouldn’t leave it empty if you have a bunch of wind, might blow away as it’s pretty light for it’s size.
