Review on Lifetime 60298 Outdoor Storage Gallon by Shawn Mcfee

Look at the photo. I placed this box in direct sunlight for part of the day, a hot climate near the equator, year-round and prone to heavy rains. water got into you? - The first thing you want to do is make sure the floor is raised. See how I set up the 6 inch cement platform? This is similar to the code in most cities. You want to do this for your box for two reasons. 1) The cement is uniform. That way the plastic won't warp and cause big gaps in the base 2) If your area has flooding, even if it's only half an inch, and there's a gap, water will get into the box. Don't just fall on the grass somewhere outside of your yard. If you do anyway, siliconize the base inside and out to give yourself a chance. It is important to place it on a flat surface that will not get flooded. Direct sun is not a problem. I bought a bottle of UV protection spray here on Amazon and applied it to the sun-exposed areas. I do this every few months, keep it in the trash can, and use it when I remember. Still looks like new. I searched every single deck locker/storage shed on Revain. I initially rejected this product because it is so cheap. I wanted to pay more for the best possible solution. After receiving it I couldn't be happier. Assembly: Make sure you get it right when moving the page. It's simple, but put in a little effort to create a hold in the fit. You must use a socket attachment. Whether socket wrench, screwdriver bit or drill. just go to the hardware store and buy one for a few bucks. It's worth it, and I can promise you that a lot of the dissatisfaction with the build must come from someone trying to use a screwdriver. - Does your lid close unevenly? - You didn't put it together correctly. Just make sure the box is on a flat surface. I assumed my lid was on a flat surface, but after noticing that the lid didn't close perfectly (slightly to the left), I placed it on what I was sure was a flat surface , and the lid closed perfectly. Recommendations: - The silicone gasket was recommended by others but I didn't need it as I put mine on a flat surface - UV protection spray - Build an outlet *Important note: It's more difficult to assemble than something like an Ikea furniture set. It only takes a few minutes to get someone on hand, but if you don't know how to build this deck box it can get a little annoying. If you need a deck box, get this one.
