YardStash Outdoor Storage Box (Waterproof) - Heavy Duty, Portable, All Weather Tarpaulin Deck Box - Protects from Rain, Wind, Sun & Snow - Perfect for the Boat, Yard, Patio, or Camping – XL Green

Its holds 20 bags of 50lb salt bags....

This is exactly as advertised. It is made of a very heavy vinyl material that is sewn and closed in on all edges. The bottom is a separate reinforced piece that is fully sealed to the rest of the outside skin. The top is angled to let snow and rain slide off and it fits tightly with about a 3-4" overlap. The straps are strong and the buckles are beefy. Installation is easy. There are metal bars and plastic elbow connectors that you use to build the internal frame which the skin gets pulled around. It can be taken down as easily as it is assembled although you will want a rubber mallet to get the elbow all the way on or off. Once built, the skin fits very tightly so it holds its shape very nicely. The dimensions are exactly as advertised. The only potential "flaw" (if you could call it that) is that there is a wonderful vent fairly low at the front to allow moisture to escape so the contents stay dry. It is covered fully by a heavy vinyl flap that has a Velcro closure with a mesh panel sewn in behind that to the there is not an actual opening into the box. A determined animal looking for winter shelter could get their head under the edge of the flap and chew though the mesh but that is far less onerous than having moisture in the box ruin what you put into it. You could always install snaps if animal intrusion was a significant concern but seeing the flap as a potential "flaw" is really splitting hairs because this is a GREAT storage solution and it is far less expensive than inferior hard plastic boxes that do not actually seal. I highly recommend this and can see why others have purchased more than one of these.

I set up, took down, re set up for the product to still not able to be sealed. I read reviews which it seemed good so I was patient and surprised. Sent lots of photos. They wanted me to repackage and return for a replacement. There was no way I would be able to get that into the box it came in again or find a big enough one to mail back. Which is why I took so many photos. Sad, as I was hopeful and tried to explain. Lost out on the money and the product.

THIS IS REALLY A ONE START RATING: I am SO disappointed in this product. A side pole (#3) was missing! It also had a weird seam area that looks like it will tear and there is also a hole where the top cover came disconnected from the small grommet on BOTH sides! I haven't even been able to put it together and it's already falling apart. I wanted to LOVE this box as I was hesitant to purchase but decided to give it a try. I can't use it as I can't get it back into the box so NOW I'm out of money I paid and I can't use it because even if I get a dowel or something to use as the #3 pole, it is NOT going to hold up with ripped seems and open grommet holes...it wouldn't be water proof. Very frustrating. Would not recommend.I even emailed to let them know about my issues and heard NOTHING back from them. Will try myuck purchasing from another manufacturer...Will return this and let UPS figure out how to box it up. Disappointed doesn't even begin to describe how I feel.

This was my second Yard Stash product. The first is a bicycle tent that does an excellent job of hiding and protecting my bikes or anything else that I put in it when I go camping. However it is a little cumbersome and not the easiest to set up at a campsite. So I decided to try the outdoor storage box because it was a great size, constructed of the same heavy, durable material and, I thought, would be easy and quick to assemble at a campsite upon arrival. While the reviews of the materials and idea are all still valid, set up has become an issue because the frame does not fit well within the storage box material. It is a little too large to easily place inside the storage box. I have tried for several days now, hoping that the material might stretch or expand just a little but it doesn't. Also, I noticed that if I try to force the frame inside of the cover it puts stress on the seams so clearly that is not the answer. Since I do like the storage box and it does suit my needs I guess that I will need to trim the components of the frame. Perhaps reducing (by trimming) the 4 rods that run across the width of the storage box will allow the frame to fit inside the cover more easily and not put stress on the seams. I hope so! I do like what should be a great addition to my campsite!After some time (one month sitting out in my yard) with the "Waterproof deck box" in which I hoped that the material might give a little to help it fit and work better I was very disappointed when I opened the lid and found that all of the velcro strips, that were glued to the inside of the container to hold the frame rods in place, had separated from the inside of the box, coming unglued from the sides of the waterproof material. In addition to this, while it appeared to me that the top overlapped the three open sides of the container and the fourth side was the highest, it turned out not to be waterproof. We did have some rain during that time period, but not much, I live in Phoenix AZ. So I was disappointed when I found rust and some moisture in the spring locks that lock the frame pieces in place.It still seems like a great idea to me but unfortunately the performance has been very disappointing. I won't buy another one like this.
