Plastic Garden Storage Sizes
Plastic garden storage gives you somewhere dry and tidy for cushions, tools, toys and bins without the cost or footprint of a full shed. Below you will find every plastic storage size we compare, from slim cupboards to large storage boxes and units, with links to compare prices from leading UK retailers.
Sizes are given as width x depth in feet. Storage boxes and units are often described by capacity in litres too, so check both the dimensions and the capacity on the product page to make sure everything you want to store will fit.

How to choose the right plastic storage size
Box, cupboard or unit
Storage boxes open from the top and suit cushions, toys and pool kit, and many double as a bench. Cupboards with shelves suit tools and pots. Larger units with doors take bins, mowers and long handled tools.
Check the capacity
Capacity in litres is the easiest way to compare. Around 270 to 450 litres holds a set of garden cushions, while the largest units can take bins, a mower or long handled tools.
Lockable and weatherproof
Most plastic storage is weather resistant rather than fully waterproof, so keep electrics off the floor. Look for a lockable lid or doors if you will keep anything valuable outside.
Stand it on a level surface
Plastic storage is light, so stand it on paving or decking and keep it out of strong winds. A level surface also keeps the lid and doors closing properly.
Plastic Garden Storage size FAQs
What size storage box do I need for garden cushions?
A box of around 270 to 450 litres holds the cushions from a typical four seat garden set. For a large corner sofa set, look at 570 litres or more.
Can plastic storage hold garden tools?
Yes. Tall cupboards with shelves suit hand tools, pots and sprays, and the larger units take long handled tools. Check the internal height on the product page.
Is plastic garden storage waterproof?
Most units are weather resistant and keep out rain, but they are not completely airtight. Keep electricals and anything sensitive off the floor of the unit.
Does plastic storage need a base?
It should stand on a firm, level surface such as paving or decking, which keeps it stable and stops the doors or lid twisting.
