Outdoor storage

[alexsmommy]

The playset is being delivered in two weeks and I am using it as an excuse to get the backyard organized. What do you use for outdoor storage? We have balls, bubble stuff, eventually pool stuff, an Elmo sprinkler etc. I want something to throw this all in - any ideas? Thanks!

We just got a rubbermaid one that doubles as a bench. We're using it exclusively for outdoor toys. It holds lots of stuff ~ our's is not even close to full yet!

I've seen similar products called deck boxes at Bed Bath and Beyond, Target and Kmart. Some have a padded bench on top, some have a tiny short curved back (just a few inches tall), some have textured plastic so they look more wood-like. They seem expensive to me, usually around $80, but functional.

For something a little larger, I saw a kind of teeny tiny shed/really big deck box at Sears made of plastic. No assembly necessary.

I've been looking at patio furniture, which is why I've seen all this stuff.
