How waterproof is this box? I want to store patio cushions, but worry about them getting wet in the rain...

It should be ok, we have ours on a screened in porch so thats not a problem for us. But I can't see where any water could get in.

I have mine under an overhang. The lid closes fairly well but i can not vouch for how water proof it is.

I would say mostly. We keep ours under the eaves on our deck. In winter, because if snow, Ina shed. We had some good Tstorms this summer & it seems to have held up well

It has been about 95% water proof for me. The only time we had a problem was in a very heavy rain. The lid was not shut tight and it sits out on an uncovered patio. I was surprised how much it holds.

It is pretty waterproof. The lid has closes down over the sides so you won't get rain in that way, BUT if the lid isn't closed down correctly - as in you just let it drop - then it can let rain in it. It's a pretty flimsy box, if you put it on an uneven surface, the box will twist out of square, and you'll have to work to seat the lid correctly when you close it. That's what I think has caused some of the other reviewers to claim it isn't waterproof. Also when you open it water that puddles on lid will drip into the box, so not good for winter storage where there will be lot of ice and snow sitting on the lid. It is pretty waterproof.

Although the lid warped slightly we have not had any water inside the box. It has also been the wettest august in many years here too.

I have not had a problem at all with water getting in. Ours is on an open patio, subject to all elements of weather, rain, snow, sleet, ice (OHIO!) and have never gotten water in it. It's a great storage box!

It's not air tight. We use it to store our cushions as well and some moisture does get in as the lid does not close tightly - especially if the cushions are in there snugly. We have to put a weight on top to keep the lid down.

I've been in light rain and severe humidity. Many times, I've set it down on wet sand or dirt. I've never had my stuff on the inside get wet. I don't think it is built to be waterproof, so I wouldn't take it in extreme rain. But for anything less than a downpour, you'll be fine.

NO the cushions are not and they will NOT repel water very well either...they do not unzip for washing ease and you must store them when rain is forecast. They are also NOT very plush...

The top slats are tongue and grooved so water won't go through. But, on the other hand, I would not expose the box to water. Hope this helps....Jim

I would say it is watertight not waterproof. If you were to leave it out in the rain eventually it would weather enough and start leaking. I have mine located under a patio roof.

It is water resistant, but not water proof. The material is sturdy, much like most outdoor furniture pads. But if it rains, and you sit on it, well, you will have to dry off.

It looks pretty weatherproof. I have one under cover but the other one is SW facing and gets wet occasionally. I do not recall any statements in the instructions relative to keeping it dry or out of the sun. They seem built for the outdoors. Good luck!

Patio trunk is water resistant not water proof. Mine is under an outdoor porch roof and it is just fine for my needs. If it were placed in a very rainy climate or total exposure to rain, it would be less satisfactory.

No. It's hard to keep things dry when it's raining hard but this box does a good job. You can see in the picture that the top has sides to it that cover the bottom section. It does pretty well at keeping the rain out. I am pleased with it myself.

The cover has a vinyl backing which is probably water resistant but the outside feels more like heavy duty fabric and it repels water. I keep my patio furniture under our patio cover and I wouldn't expose it to the elements (e.g. rain) for too long:)

Im not real sure my set is under cover on my patio. also I have the cover that it came with on.we have had a lot of high rain storm's here & the cover has worked out great ! it has rained so hard here that it has pooled up in the middle of it & every thing has stayed dry.so Im sure that they would do just as well by on there own. I love my set,its my out door living room !!!

Well my furniture is under a patio but from the material that the cushions are made of, it should be fine in the rain. Water seems to repel off pretty well

I store cushions and radio from the pool area. Keeps rain out. I leave it out all winter (northern winters). No problems. Also keeps rodents out. This is the third summer for mine. I'd buy it again

My mail box is exposed to the rain and I have not had wet mail yet. But here in Los Angeles were not getting much rain. I can say that the design of the box is very smart and it would take alot of rain to get your mail wet.

Is a box waterproof I will say no but if you keep it underneath a Patio or porch at will say yes. It will stay dry It is water resistant at that point But if you're talking about submerging it underwater no it's definitely not a waterproof box The box can be install anywhere but you have to install anchors first to the concrete floor to properly secure the box When you receive the package there will be anchors inside the box that way you can secure the box properly to the floor But overall I think for a drop box This is a great safe box If you have apartments or condos and people can drop off the rent in this box I think that's a great solution for this box or if you're just looking for personal use I also think it's still a great box It is very well built

Ours has been in many rainstorms. There has been only a very minimal amount of water that got in (teaspoons), and it was during a very heavy rainstorm. I have not had it in the winter yet, but plan or storing the cushions there.

It's water resistant and not weatherproof. . I cover them most of the time. Yes the cushions can be removed very Easley and put back. You should buy it when it's on sale. FYI right now macy's have really good deals going on the Patio sets and more sturdy. Best of luck.
