Waterproof storage boxes

Not really gardening but it's for the garden!!

I'm looking for a definitely waterproof storage box for all my gardening tools etc. There seem hundreds out there but always prefer a recommendation if possible.

Thank you

We've had the Keter Westwood 570l box for a few years and I've never seen any leaks or dampness in it. It's solidly built too and is often on offer at a reasonable price.

We also have a smaller very old Keter one with a less angular lid, maybe the 'Novel' model, and that has leaked since day one, as well as being relatively fragile/prone to breaking overall.

Does the Keter Westwood have any small gaps or holes that a mouse could get into? I'm looking for somewhere to store my cushions but worried mice could get in.

Our Biohort metal box wasn't cheap but excellent quality

Yes, it has several holes of around 5mm or slightly larger, so a mouse could potentially get in. (We had one get into the house through an airbrick with 4-5mm holes in it).

Thank you Skybird. That's helpful to know. I wonder if I could block the holes with some wire wool and a glue gun.

I'm very taken with these boxes but it's hard to find them in a shop where you can view them ready assembled!
