we dont have snow but we have torrential rain will this box keep things dry

I keep it under a porch roof, but when rain has blown in, the contents have remained dry. My suspicions are that in direct rain, it would keep contents dry, but not prevent dampness from humidity.

I think so. We've had some pretty hard winds and rain and it's been great! It is under the edge of our camper awning but everything else would be soaked and the box never leaked.

Not sure if my answer from sunny So California helps, but here is what I see: It DOES keep things very dry. The box is placed in a corner of the patio, one side is against the wall, and it is half-way under the eaves so rain water from the eaves directly hits the top of the box.

If your asking if you can submerge this box, no the lid will leak. If your asking if it keeps the rain off your tools, yes it does. The only problem when using it in the rain is that the recessed portion fills up with water. Its a good box for the price, the side latches are weak, plan on them breaking within a few years if using daily.

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!

I don't have mine installed outside . . . I believe it is made out of steel which might eventually rust? It would probably be OK if you put it outside, so long as it was under some kind of covering (roof, etc.) to protect from rain. Also the box is intended to be installed with the slot on top . . so that is also a consideration . . . again probably ok if it is installed under a covering of some sort.

There is a gasket that protects the interior from the effects of weather. My box contains my rain machine controller and has protected it through some rather strong rain with no problems.

I don't think it would be possible for rain to get into the mailbox. The lid has a "lip" all the way around and that should keep everything inside dry. Also, the box is larger than most, which means there is less chance that a large piece of mail will be sticking out of the box where it could be rained on.

Yes it looks like it would withstand the rain. Every thing looks to be sealed. Hope thid helps.

It is dry inside. However there was a big spider in mine this week so it isnt airtight. I cant answer the snow question cause we dont really have that much in my state. Overall I like the box.

I kept mine out over the winter. We had a couple of heavy snowstorms. Not a problem. As far as rain, airtight so far -- have had it about a year.

Depends what you mean by that, if you have a torrential downpour then no, but if a little bit of rain then yes. We also have the hardshell travel cases if you wants something seriously tough.

Don't know. I'm sure the case inside the mailbox is not waterproof. However, I would guess it could handle some rain for a short period of time.

Not really, if you assemble it carefully, but some moisture will get inside if this item isn't under cover and the rain blows really hard. I store outdoor toys in this bench so I put them inside large black plastic bags & tie them. The toys, such as badminton sets and horseshoe sets never get wet but sometimes I find water on the bags. I live in south Louisiana and we get long, hard rain storms. When we have a sunny day, I open the bench and let the water on the bags dry up.

I have this mail box nailed to Hardy Board siding on my home for 4 years now. It is partially covered by an eave. To date I have never had any water enter the mailbox, my mail has always been dry even after several torrential rain and snow storms.

We keep our hammocks in this box when it rains and in the winter. With all of the snow we have had this year I checked on everything inside and they have stayed dry so far.

Yes it is. We have had our box for a number of months now. We live at top of a ridge and our mail box has been exposed to heavy rain, snow, and wind, we have seen no moisture within the box or on the mail, even when we left the mail in it for several days.

We live in FL and get lots of rain. The box is in our back yard under a large palm tree and we have not had any water get into the box. As another person said make sure when you put it together all parts snap tightly in place. Hope this helps.

So far it is totally water resistant.Annual rainfall in my area is around 70" and it has rained quite a bit since I installed the mailbox. I haven't found any moisture inside the box.
