Now that the sun is shining, many households will be tidying up their outdoor space in order to spend as much time as possible outside. After neglecting my small garden over winter, I’ve been on the hunt for a solution to keep it organised – without having to fork out hundreds or even thousands of pounds on a bulky shed. Fortunately, I’ve stumbled upon the perfect solution on Amazon.
The Keter Marvel+ 270L Outdoor Storage Box. is perfect if you’ve got children’s toys, gardening equipment or small pieces of furniture currently laying about in your garden. The box is compact, having a 270 litre capacity, but is still spacious enough to fit garden accessories in.
The weather-resistant box is available for £58.17 and comes highly recommended by shoppers. It has over 8,000 five-stars and is made from recycled materials. It also has a decorative wood panel-style finishing that keeps all items ‘ventilated and dry’.

The brand claims it’s easy to assemble, taking ‘just five minutes and no extra tools’, plus it’s lockable for additional security. B&Q is currently offering a similar Easylife Heavy-duty Outdoor Garden Storage Box on sale for £52.49.

Over at Amazon, the Keter Marvel+ 270L Outdoor Storage Box has earned a respectable overall rating of 4.5 out of five from over 12,000 reviews. One thrilled customer wrote: “This garden storage box is great value for money.
“It’s weathered well through our stormy months and survived. Even if you have a small garden or yard, it fits. Great for storing garden cushions (as long as they’re covered and sealed well), or for simply storing your recycling sacks.”
“It was easy to assemble, lightweight and has wheels that you can attach to whichever end is convenient for you, should you need to move it around,” the review continues. “There is also a front section for you to attach a lock for security purposes.”
A second happy buyer commented: “Excellent value for money. Super easy to assemble and once closed nothing gets in. I have two of these in my garage. They’re a fantastic low cost storage option.”
“Excellent storage option,” agreed another impressed shopper. “This is my first time purchasing a Keter product and I have not been disappointed. It comes flat packed with each part clearly marked and a very good set of clear to understand instructions, from delivery to having it built and in place took me less than 10 mins. Impressed so far.”
Unfortunately one person who bought the storage box was left disappointed, as they explained: “Its lightweight construction and design means that it blows away in the wind and so is unsuitable for use outdoors unless it is put in a very sheltered place. Good when it doesn’t blow away but never got to use it.”
