Opening and Closing the Lid

The deck box lid is equipped with hydraulic pistons for smooth and controlled opening and closing. To open, gently lift the lid. The pistons will assist in holding the lid open. To close, gently pull the lid down; the soft-close mechanism will prevent it from slamming shut.

Storage Use

Utilize the generous 150-gallon interior for storing various outdoor items. Ensure items are clean and dry before storage to maintain the interior condition. The weather-resistant design helps protect contents from the elements.

Seating Functionality

The sturdy lid is designed to support the weight of two average adults, providing additional seating space on your patio or deck. Ensure the lid is fully closed before using it as a bench.

Locking Mechanism

For enhanced security, the deck box includes a provision for a padlock (not supplied). Align the holes on the lid and the front panel, then insert your padlock to secure the contents.

5. Maintenance

Cleaning

To clean the deck box, simply wipe it down with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the resin material. Rinse thoroughly with water and allow to air dry.

Weather Resistance

The Keter Westwood Deck Box is constructed from UV-resistant and water-resistant resin, designed to withstand various weather conditions without rusting, peeling, fading, or denting. While highly durable, regular inspection for any debris accumulation in seams can help maintain its water-tight seal.

6. Troubleshooting

Lid Not Closing Smoothly

If the lid does not close smoothly or appears to be sticking, check for any obstructions in the hinge mechanism or along the edges of the box. Ensure the hydraulic pistons are clean and free of debris. Applying a silicone-based lubricant to the piston rods can help maintain smooth operation.

Water Inside the Box

Although designed to be water-resistant, prolonged exposure to heavy rain or standing water can sometimes lead to moisture inside. Ensure the lid is fully and properly closed. Check the seal around the lid for any damage or gaps. Clear any debris from the top surface that might impede water runoff.
