Does anyone have one of these that they can recommend?
I have seen a few for sale which, on reading the whole way through the description, say 'not waterproof, we advise storing cushions inside the house' Really? After paying C£300 :T

It's been in use a couple of years with no problems.Tall, dark & handsome. Well two out of three ain't bad.0 -
I was looking for somewhere to put outdoor cushions and saw the various Keter ones in Homebase and b&q, where they were outside in the rain. All of them had leaked. I’m still looking for a waterproof solution, until I find it my outdoor cushions are stored inside.0

Both my Keter sheds have not leaked yet, one(6x3)over a few winters the recent one from the tesco direct shutdown 1 winter
The smaller storage box lift up lid and the smaller midi version of the one with front doors linked above both dry after one winter.0 -
Our Keter storage thingie hasn't leaked either (think we have the Max and have had it maybe 4 years ). If you move them carelessly I can see how things could become wonky so might leak then - maybe what happens with display ones.0

We have had a Keter max for four years with our BBQ and various garden tools in and a Keter bench for a year with storage underneath which has cushions in and neither have leaked at all, think it must be how carefull you are assembling them and making sure they are on a flat level surface.0 -
A lot of DIY stores have leaking roofing, would not trust them to build anything.
The display items will have been thrown together and pulled about by customers.0 -
I too am using the max. Was easy to construct and has not leaked.0
