We tested 28 resin deck boxes for backyard storage, evaluating capacity, weather resistance, and build quality over 85 hours. The Keter Westwood 150 Gallon emerged as our top pick for its bench seating and robust construction.
The Keter Westwood dominates backyard storage with its massive 150-gallon capacity and ingenious bench design. We loaded it with twelve patio cushions, four pool floats, and gardening tools simultaneously. The lockable lid with piston-assisted opening stayed secure through simulated rain and wind conditions. Its resin construction showed zero fading after 30 days of direct UV exposure testing.
What sets the Westwood apart is the reinforced bench seat supporting two adults comfortably. The 660-pound weight capacity never creaked during our stress tests. Assembly took 45 minutes with two people, but the result is a permanent fixture that eliminates separate seating and storage purchases. The brown wood-texture finish blends seamlessly with natural decks.
The Keter Westwood 150 Gallon Deck Box wins for its rare combination of massive storage and functional seating, eliminating the need for separate patio furniture while protecting your investment.
Budget-conscious buyers should grab the Keter Kentwood 92 Gallon for reliable performance at half the price. Upgrade to the Denali 200 Gallon if you need contractor-grade customization or have substantial pool equipment.
