  2. Hi,

    These bench / storage units are a great idea to combine the two. This would look great in our back yard and it will help with the kids toys at the same time.

    Thanks for giving so many great ideas on this topic!

      There is so much more to put into your outdoor space that just a bench. You can get all kinds of furniture with storage. Having outdoor furniture with dual purpose saves some space if you have a small patio or deck area.

  4. Your post on “What to look for in Resin Outdoor Storage Bench For Seating” is a great idea. I have just recently bought a deck box for storage and find it great for keeping things dry until I need them on sunny days.
    Your combo boxes for storage and seating would also make great use of space in other areas in my yard. Like you said, I could fit one into place by measuring up the size I need and purchase it to fit right in.
