Organise Your Garden with Professional Storage Boxes
Keep your outdoor space organised and your equipment protected with our comprehensive range of Garden Storage Boxes. At Greenhouse Stores, we specialise in high-performance storage that solves the common problems of damp, rust, and rot. Whether you need to hide away muddy wellies, secure your garden tools, or keep your patio cushions dry, our collection offers a durable solution for every garden size.
Our selection includes a variety of materials designed for the British climate. We feature heavy-duty galvanised steel boxes from Hormann, pressure-treated Log Stores, and specialized Bin Stores. Every unit comes with free UK mainland delivery and warranties spanning up to 20 years on selected metal lines.
Choosing the Right Storage Box Material
Metal Boxes: The ultimate in security and longevity. Hot-dipped galvanised steel is fire-resistant and maintenance-free. Best for high-value tools.
Wooden Boxes: The natural aesthetic. Slat designs allow airflow, making them perfect for logs. Requires annual treatment to maintain the 10-year warranty.
Plastic Units: Lightweight, UV-stabilised, and completely waterproof. Ideal for balconies and small patios where you need a maintenance-free finish.
Why We Chose This Range
“We stock Hormann Juno metal storage boxes because they solve the #1 complaint with garden storage: The Lid. Cheap boxes have lids that warp, allowing water to drip onto your expensive furniture cushions. Hormann uses 0.5mm galvanised steel with an integrated gas-spring dampener. This ensures a tight compression seal when closed, making it the only box we truly trust for winter cushion storage.”
— Matt, Founder of Greenhouse Stores🔧 Matt's Installation Tip: The "Air Gap" Rule
Never sit your storage box directly on wet grass or soil. Moisture from the ground will be trapped under the box, leading to a build-up of condensation inside, which causes mould on fabrics.
Always place your box on paving slabs or decking. This creates an air gap that allows the base to stay dry and prevents the floor from bowing under the weight of tools. If you are storing on a patio, check that the area doesn't pool water during heavy rain.”
Frequently Asked Questions about Garden Storage Boxes
-
Is a garden storage box fully waterproof?
Our Metal and Plastic storage boxes are designed to be fully waterproof, keeping contents dry in driving rain. Wooden stores are water-resistant and breathable—perfect for tools and logs, but we recommend using vacuum bags for fabrics stored in timber units over winter.
-
What is the best material for storing soft cushions?
For cushions, we recommend Hormann metal boxes. They feature a high-quality seal and integrated ventilation that prevents moisture buildup while keeping rain out. Always ensure cushions are 100% dry before placing them in the box for long-term storage.
-
Do I need a base for my storage box?
Yes. All storage boxes should sit on a flat, level surface like concrete or paving slabs. This prevents the frame from twisting (which causes lid leaks) and keeps the floor away from standing water on the ground.
-
How secure are the metal storage boxes?
Extremely secure. Unlike standard plastic boxes, our Hormann metal range features multi-point locking mechanisms and can be bolted down to your base from the inside, making them virtually impossible for thieves to move.
