Once you have your outdoor room complete, you might find yourself in need of a convenient space to store cushions, gardening tools, and more when you aren't using them. Enter: the deck box, a stylish addition to your space that can hold all those things and more (some can even double as a bench or buffet table, too). The best part? With these chic storage solutions, you won't have to lug all of your outdoor items to the garage or shed. Here we rounded up nine of the best deck boxes to help you select the one that's the best fit for your outdoor aesthetic and storage needs.

Before ordering a deck box, you'll first want to consider where you plan for it to live (next to your swimming pool to hold all those pool toys and floats, perhaps?), what size and storage capacity you need, and what material will look best with your outdoor furniture, outdoor rugs, and patio or deck design. Some deck boxes are made from teak or other natural woods, while others are designed to look like wood but made of weather-resistant materials that require less maintenance, and others are are made from aluminum for a more modern look. No matter your outdoor aesthetic, we'll help you find the best deck box for all your storage needs.
