5. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your PatioZen 90 Gallon Resin Deck Box, please refer to the following common solutions:

  • Lid not closing properly: Check for any obstructions around the hinges or the rim of the box. Ensure all panels are correctly aligned and securely snapped into place.
  • Water inside the box: Verify that the lid is fully closed and sealed. Inspect the seams and connections for any gaps. Ensure the box is placed on a level surface to prevent water pooling.
  • Difficulty moving the box: If the box is heavily loaded, empty some contents before attempting to move it using the built-in handles.
  • Fading or discoloration: While UV-resistant, prolonged exposure to extreme sunlight can still cause minor changes over many years. Regular cleaning and occasional application of a UV protectant spray can help maintain its appearance.
