Is this box waterproof. I want to store bbq tools and charcoal in it during the winter on my deck as i use my grill in the winter.

Good question. And I'm going to use it for the same thing. As of yet, I havent' put it together, but it seems "tight". There is no liner, it's 100% wood - I assume it's some sort of tongue & groove construciton. My plan all along was to purchase some type of air tight storage container to use as an "insert" to make it more weatherproof for my goodies.

the surface should shed rain... I used a shingle varnish/oil that came close to matching our out door furniture...

No. The top consists of two boards, slightly separated. Though the wood is cedar, I would be afraid of moisture getting through.

Haven't tested it, but I think probably not. Water-resistant. We keep ours under the covered part of deck.

The top is solid and hinged and the bottom is solid. The sides are slatted but it is all enclosed. If protected, the surface should she rain well although, it is flat. We have had children's toys in it all summer, rain and shine. I did cover it with a kind of varnish: TCP 315.. I don't have that right but it is a treatment for wooden roof shingles.. I think it should be fine outdoors in snow and in snow melt. (be careful when assembling. They anticjpate errors that people seem to want to make .... including me.. chuckle.

Hi - the box is wood, as you know, but its not water tight. I would imagine in a heavy storm it would get water. We keep ours under the deck in a sheltered place so really don't know for sure. It's a lovely box that's for sure!

I have it on a covered porch using it to store cushions and as a "coffee"table. Looks great and serves this use well. I would not trust it to be waterproof without lining it with some plastic if it were fully exposed to outside elements.

No. Though the box is cedar, the top consists of two boards, slightly separated. I would be afraid of rain or melting snow leaking in.

It's not what you would called water proof but it is designed to be in marine environment and exposed to saltwater. It will hold up to being wet without corroding. It is a very nice fuse box and is holding up great on my boat in saltwater and gets wet and stays wet for long periods. The cover is just to protect from impact and covers the wire lugs if you don't have covers on connecter.

Do not leave it out in the rain or snow. The insulation in the lid gets wet and will cause the lid to seperate. We keep our on the deck and move it to the patio when it rains. It's a great little cooler.

I threw the box away so I don't know if its officially waterproof but I've been using it in the shower without a problem.. I mean I wouldn't suggest submerging it but a splash here and there doesn't hurt it. I ways make sure to dry it off after as well. Hope that helps.

The steel box is not weather tight. There is no watertight seal of any kind on the cover. I would not use it outside.

No, it is not water proof. It closes with a velcro strip. I guess you could store it in the freezer but Why would you want to store a fireproof bag in the freezer.? D W

Yes it is waterproof and you can use it in the rain. It is all metal and it is a really great grill. I had one and bought one for my son.

I believe that you could use this Deck Box to store fireplace wood. I suggest that it would be safest to do so if the box were placed on flat level ground.

Yes, its waterproof. I have had it outside for months, no leaks or water problems.

The box is sturdy but I would not trust it to be waterproof unless u r storing things that can get wet , hope this helps.

I don't know how waterproof box is. However the cable is pretty sturdy, it has a loop on one end, and a metal tab on other. You would slip loop through fence then push other end through loop, to secure to fence or rail etc. then with box unlocked the tab goes into box, small hole in rear, allows box to shut and lock.I have mind secured to front seat of my car, for emergency cash and band aids and stuff. But as stated don't know how waterproof it is or safe to be exposed to outside elements.

Yes, it is waterproof. We have had this box for over a year to hold our outdoor chair cushions. Even with all the rain we had this spring and summer, they were never the slightest bit damp. Wish we had another one!

It is not water proof. I have quite a large porch & mine is plugged in outside on the porch where it never gets rained on. Squirrels don't even get near my porch any more. I plan on purchasing two more units, one for my attic & one for my storage shed.

This deck box was made to keep the items you store in it dry. Rain resistant.

I found that the box stayed fairly airtight. I just removed my outdoor cushions which were in there all winter. They are dry and look great.

I've had this for about a year and installed it. It's not fireproof or waterproof. If it were it wouldn't fit under any bed. It's very nice for safe storage of your firearms and quick access, but would not be protected from a fire or flood.

It would be fairly weather resistant as long as it stays upright. There is no waterproof Seal between the lid and box so if it is left upside down water could enter.
