Maintenance
The Suncast Deck Box is constructed from water-resistant poly resin, designed to resist fading and rust. For general cleaning, simply wipe down the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these may damage the finish. Periodically check the hinges and lid for any debris that might impede smooth operation. The durable material ensures the box remains looking new for years with minimal upkeep.
Troubleshooting
Lid Not Closing Properly
Ensure no items are obstructing the lid's path or the sealing edges. Check for any debris accumulated along the rim of the box or on the underside of the lid. Verify that the hinges are properly aligned and free from damage. Applying a small amount of silicone lubricant to the hinges can improve closure if stiffness is present.
Water Inside the Box
While the deck box is water-resistant, extreme weather conditions or improper closure can lead to moisture ingress. Ensure the lid is fully closed and latched. Check for any cracks or damage to the poly resin material, especially along seams or the base. If damage is found, contact Suncast customer service for repair or replacement options.
