Storage Box Construction

As I have always said, you can never have too much outdoor storage. I know that my home and yard are often full of clutter, and the amount of “stuff” I have just seems to keep growing and then growing some more. There are many items that you can put into a deck box, such as pool toys and cleaning supplies, extra pool towels, outdoor toys, furniture cushions and pillows, and many other similar objects. The sheer amount of junk you have in your backyard is definitely reason enough to invest in some outdoor storage,.
You can easily construct a wooden deck box that will provide the storage you need in your backyard. And, you can make it even if you are not a master carpenter.
First, you need to purchase your supplies. Here’s a list of the items you will need:
• Two 3' x 4' x 1/2" cedar boards
• Two 24" x 4' x 1/2" cedar boards
• Four 2" x 1" x 3" cedar chunks
• One 3' Brass piano hinge
• Brass wood screws
• Four C-clamps
• Power drill 1/8” bit
• Countersink bit
• Belt sander
• Sanding paper
• Carpenter’s glue
Once you have your supplies accumulated, you’re ready to begin your construction project. In my next post, I will begin to tell you how to build a deck box.
