I am looking for a box for my deck to hold charcoal for my big green egg. Is this waterproof/tight?

Yes, it is waterproof. We have had this box for over a year to hold our outdoor chair cushions. Even with all the rain we had this spring and summer, they were never the slightest bit damp. Wish we had another one!

The box is made of molded plastic panels that over lap and snap together and the top fits over a ridge at the top of the sides, front and back panels so rain can not enter. None of the joints are sealed tight but if water got inside it would drain out the bottom. If standing water rose high enough over the bottom floor it would get to the box contents.My box is kept out on a boat dock exposed to rain and wind and I have not had any problems with contents getting wet. I have had mine since my review and it is still in great shape.If I was going to store charcoal I would set the bags on something to keep them a little above the floor.

I wouldn't say it's waterproof/tight. The stuff I store in mine stays dry but the pieces just slide together, plastic to plastic. As another person posted, high winds with rain could cause leaks easily.

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.

The box does add protection from the elements but it is not waterproof. The shutter, flash and detection areas are cut outs so the camera is exposed. Rain could get into the box. Along with a cable lock, it is a nice set up for security.

While the materials that comprise this box (powder-coated steel case, nylon coated steel cable, removable foam liner) may be able to withstand immersion or saturation in water for short periods without damage, any contents sensitive to moisture would be compromised. Water would simply run in through the sides of the box as well as the hole where the anchor cable attaches. I suspect the hinge and lock would likewise not last long in a damp/wet environment unless they were periodically treated and lubricated.You might want to look at Pelican cases - they are waterproof and have lock attachment points. I'm sure a cable could be added to secure it to a fixture.

The steel box is not weather tight. There is no watertight seal of any kind on the cover. I would not use it outside.

I wouldn't call it waterproof at all. It's basically the same thing as a large tool box. Water won't pour in when closed, but would not consider it waterproof.

Yes...it has a lip around the lid that overlaps the box which provides protection from moisture. I have used it outside in the weather for months now with no problems.

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 has holes on top and a charcoal filter, so no, its definitely not "air tight". But it seals all around the metal to metal contact very well :)

It would be fairly weather resistant as long as it stays upright. There is no waterproof Seal between the lid and box so if it is left upside down water could enter.

Our deck box lid stays closed very well. We have had strong winds and storms and it has never been a problem. The lid doesn't actually have a latch, but can be locked with a padlock style lock if desired. Everything stays dry inside and it is also very sturdy. Makes for great extra deck seating.

Yes, no problem. My "dockbox" stays dry exposed to weather and sea chop. Good luck.

I haven't had any rain in my area. BUT, I've hosed the box down to get rid of the dust and nothing inside got wet. I would say that the box is fairly waterproof IF you assemble it correctly and be sure to have the parts snapped together.

I tried this afternoon to find out just how "waterproof" the carry case is (the answer is, not very). I added some water to the container, put the lid on, and shook it. While it did not pour out, there was no doubt that this lid is NOT a tight seal. I suppose that a large o-ring or perhaps some RTV could be used to seal it up, or a very large stopper would do the trick, but barring that, I would not carry wet tea in this unless you like tea leaking everywhere.

Is this Keter 186300 70 Bench storage "waterproof" ?? I need a box bench that is waterproof, no rain getting in.

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

This box works well at keeping mail dry and is big enough for my magazines. We have had a few thunderstorms and snowstorms here since I put it up and nothing has gotten wet so I would say yes! BTW - it's not under a roof overhang.
