How waterproof is this box? I want to store patio cushions, but worry about them getting wet in the rain...

It should be ok, we have ours on a screened in porch so thats not a problem for us. But I can't see where any water could get in.

I have mine under an overhang. The lid closes fairly well but i can not vouch for how water proof it is.

I would say mostly. We keep ours under the eaves on our deck. In winter, because if snow, Ina shed. We had some good Tstorms this summer & it seems to have held up well

It has been about 95% water proof for me. The only time we had a problem was in a very heavy rain. The lid was not shut tight and it sits out on an uncovered patio. I was surprised how much it holds.

It is pretty waterproof. The lid has closes down over the sides so you won't get rain in that way, BUT if the lid isn't closed down correctly - as in you just let it drop - then it can let rain in it. It's a pretty flimsy box, if you put it on an uneven surface, the box will twist out of square, and you'll have to work to seat the lid correctly when you close it. That's what I think has caused some of the other reviewers to claim it isn't waterproof. Also when you open it water that puddles on lid will drip into the box, so not good for winter storage where there will be lot of ice and snow sitting on the lid. It is pretty waterproof.

Although the lid warped slightly we have not had any water inside the box. It has also been the wettest august in many years here too.

I have not had a problem at all with water getting in. Ours is on an open patio, subject to all elements of weather, rain, snow, sleet, ice (OHIO!) and have never gotten water in it. It's a great storage box!

It's not air tight. We use it to store our cushions as well and some moisture does get in as the lid does not close tightly - especially if the cushions are in there snugly. We have to put a weight on top to keep the lid down.

These cushions are not water proof so they are not meant to be outside overnight in inclement weather. I use them on an enclosed porch at my cottage out of direct sunlight.

Well my furniture is under a patio but from the material that the cushions are made of, it should be fine in the rain. Water seems to repel off pretty well

The cushions are vinal covered foam... that would soak up water if let out in the rain. Otherwise, can be used outside.

Not really. The cushions can be removed and stored. Or you can buy all weather covers. I live in Florida and they have been in intense sun and rain for two years with no problems.

I'm using mine outdoors on my patio's storage closet. My patio is covered but I'm sure it still sees some weather. I haven't noticed any trouble with mine in the last 4-5 months since I purchased and have been using it.

Is a box waterproof I will say no but if you keep it underneath a Patio or porch at will say yes. It will stay dry It is water resistant at that point But if you're talking about submerging it underwater no it's definitely not a waterproof box The box can be install anywhere but you have to install anchors first to the concrete floor to properly secure the box When you receive the package there will be anchors inside the box that way you can secure the box properly to the floor But overall I think for a drop box This is a great safe box If you have apartments or condos and people can drop off the rent in this box I think that's a great solution for this box or if you're just looking for personal use I also think it's still a great box It is very well built

I have owned my deck box going on two years. I keep my furniture cushions in them all year around. So far I have had no water leakage where I have had wet or mildew cushions. I also have had no bugs in the box. However during the spring and summer as a precautionary measure I spray an insect repellant on the deck area under the box 2-3 times during this period. I never have had a problem. Hope this helps.

We live in FL and get lots of rain. The box is in our back yard under a large palm tree and we have not had any water get into the box. As another person said make sure when you put it together all parts snap tightly in place. Hope this helps.

I placed mine on an enclosed porch area...It would not ever get wet due to the enclosure...If you can place without rain hitting it I think you will be fine!

Not really, if you assemble it carefully, but some moisture will get inside if this item isn't under cover and the rain blows really hard. I store outdoor toys in this bench so I put them inside large black plastic bags & tie them. The toys, such as badminton sets and horseshoe sets never get wet but sometimes I find water on the bags. I live in south Louisiana and we get long, hard rain storms. When we have a sunny day, I open the bench and let the water on the bags dry up.

Mine is under a covered patio. where the sit lifts up. I am doutful if this is rain and snow proof. It would be great for packages as it has lots of room.

The cover has a vinyl backing which is probably water resistant but the outside feels more like heavy duty fabric and it repels water. I keep my patio furniture under our patio cover and I wouldn't expose it to the elements (e.g. rain) for too long:)

Yes, they seem to be waterproof. We have had several rains this spring and the chairs and cushions have stayed dry.

I am in the San Francisco area and the last few days we have had a downpour. My cushions are bone dry. I leave the cushions on year round with no issues. Outside appears to be a canvas cover, but inside is vinyl lined. For parties, I just take them off and lay them flat on the ground with no problem. I would not advise crunching them up tightly as that might affect the vinyl liner inside. I have read about one person saying her cushions were ruined, but I have had no problems. I highly recommend these and have ordered several as my preferred replacement choice when others have failed.

No. It's hard to keep things dry when it's raining hard but this box does a good job. You can see in the picture that the top has sides to it that cover the bottom section. It does pretty well at keeping the rain out. I am pleased with it myself.

I store cushions and radio from the pool area. Keeps rain out. I leave it out all winter (northern winters). No problems. Also keeps rodents out. This is the third summer for mine. I'd buy it again
