Outdoor Storage Benches That’ll Hide Away Your Clutter

Between your kids’ massive outdoor toy collection and your partner’s gardening tools, there’s no room in the garage for any other outdoor items. That seems kind of hard to believe, but that becomes the case for many families. So where do you turn when you don’t have any other storage space? Check out one of the best outdoor storage benches. 

These benches perform not only one but two important functions. The seat area hinges up, so you can put that unsightly or annoying clutter inside. They’re also ideal for patio cushions, which always need a home during an unexpected rainstorm. Two out of our three bench picks have a space to put a padlock, so you can keep the items inside the bench safe—and keep out furry critters. These little storage units are also benches. People can sit on top of them and socialize. In some cases, your guests might not even realize that they’re sitting on your go-to overflow storage bin. These bins are stylish enough that you’ll actually want to have them on your patio.
