Outdoor storage keeps garden tools, cushions, toys and equipment protected from the weather — storage boxes, deck boxes and firewood racks built to live outside. We stock over 130 outdoor storage items — lockable storage boxes, garden benches with storage, deck boxes and firewood racks — from around $26. Stock is held across our Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane warehouses, so orders dispatch within 1-2 business days.
What types of outdoor storage are there?
Outdoor storage covers a few main items. A storage box or deck box is a weatherproof container for cushions, toys and equipment, often with a lid that doubles as a bench seat. A garden storage bench combines seating and storage in one. A firewood rack keeps firewood off the ground and drying. Lockable boxes add security for tools and valuables. Match the item to what you are storing and whether you want it to double as seating.
Is outdoor storage actually weatherproof?
Weather resistance varies a lot, and this is the detail that decides whether your stored items stay dry. Most outdoor storage boxes are weather-resistant rather than fully waterproof — they shed rain but a sealed lid and raised base matter for keeping the inside dry. Resin and polypropylene boxes handle sun and rain best and will not rust. Metal boxes should be powder-coated to resist corrosion. For cushions and fabric items, look for a box with drainage or a raised floor so any water that gets in does not pool. Check the product page for the weather rating before buying.

What can outdoor storage be used for?
An outdoor storage box handles the things that clutter a yard or patio — outdoor cushions kept dry between uses, children's toys, pool equipment, garden hand tools, and barbecue accessories. A deck box on a patio doubles as extra seating. A firewood rack keeps a winter wood supply off the wet ground so it stays dry enough to burn. A lockable box near a shed or garage stores tools securely. Anything that needs to live outside but stay protected has a place in outdoor storage.
How much does outdoor storage cost in Australia?
Outdoor storage at Simple Deals starts from around $26 for compact storage boxes. Most mid-size deck boxes and storage benches sit between $58 and $150, with larger lockable containers and timber designs at the higher end. All items dispatch within 1–2 business days from our Australian warehouses.
What most furniture sites won't admit
Almost every outdoor storage item sold online in Australia is imported from China, Vietnam, Malaysia or Indonesia — including ours. Where the item is made is not the real difference between online retailers. What matters is what happens after the stock lands in Australia. Marketplaces dropship straight from an overseas container, which is why their "fast delivery" stretches into six weeks. We import in bulk, hold stock across our Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane warehouses, and ship from there — the same imported item, dispatched in 1–2 business days.

Complete your outdoor space
Outdoor storage keeps the yard tidy, and a few pieces complete the space. Most buyers add three at the same time: garden furniture for the patio, a blanket box for indoor storage, and shoe storage for the entry from the garden.
