This 82-gallon Homall deck box is mainly useful as low-cost outdoor storage or a hidden package bin, especially on a covered porch. The size works for extra gear, and one setup kept contents clean and dry, while another was adapted into shelter and feeding stations with added insulation. The tradeoffs are significant: assembly can take hours, the plastic is described as flimsy, and the bottom can fail when the box is moved with weight inside. It is best treated as a light-duty storage box rather than a rugged, movable container.
Homeowners needing covered-porch storage for cushions or tools, because contents can stay clean and dry when the box sits under shelter.
The black version has been showing around $69 to $70, while other colors have been listed lower at about $53. Some listings also show free shipping, but other sellers add shipping charges.
It is reported to be flimsy, with the bottom potentially falling out when moved with weight inside. It may be fine for light, stationary storage under cover, but it is not a good choice if you need something durable or plan to move it often.
Yes, it can work as a porch-pirate deterrent and package stash if the boxes are kept out of sight. It is also reported to have gaps that can let in water and bugs, so it is better for covered or protected areas than exposed weather.
Assembly can take hours, so plan for a significant time commitment. A similar 100-gallon version was assembled in about 15 minutes, but this smaller model was specifically called out as taking much longer.
Been thinking of getting something like this so the delivery guys have something to put the boxes in to keep em out of the weather, good idea/bad idea? Not worried about theft, just wet packages due to rain.

It's a great idea. I have a similar one, different brand, and use it for packages. Although my use case is for theft. You don't even need to lock it. As long as the packages are out of sight, no one will know any different. Most delivery drivers are good about placing the packages in the box off the additional delivery instructions. FedEx is the worst for me. But probably all depends on the driver.Highly recommend this solution for porch pirate deterrents.

I got a big metal mailbox, are these really not sturdy enough for a seat?
Step 1. Place resin squares in a HUGE non stick pot and melt at medium heat. Caution: Do NOT breathe in heated carcinogenic resin fumes. Step 2. Pour molten resin into molds. Step 3. Allow to cool then separate the molds and remove the panels. Step 4. Trim excess resin from the panels. Step 5. Drill 1/8" holes in marked spots. Step 6. Assemble and screw panels together. The use of Epoxy glue at edges will strengthen the integrity of the box. VOILA!

I know because I've bit on similar before. Flimsy and has gaps that let in water and bugs.
