Description

Designed to offer tidy, dependable storage in more compact outdoor spaces, the Rowlinson Shiplap Patio Chest delivers substance, style, and smart functionality. With an internal volume of 460 litres, it’s ideal for stowing away gardening essentials or barbecue gear, all neatly hidden from view but close at hand.

Constructed from high-grade 12mm kiln-dried shiplap cladding, the chest is both durable and visually appealing. Its horizontal boards bring texture and a refined timber finish to patios, balconies, or tucked-away corners. The solid board roof is topped with mineral felt for added weather resistance, while the dipped honey-brown treatment protects and enhances the wood's natural grain.

Opening the chest is effortless thanks to the wide-lifting lid, which includes an integrated stay to keep it safely open while you organise or retrieve contents. The construction-grade OSB roof and floor provide excellent structural strength and moisture protection, ensuring long-term reliability despite unpredictable British seasons.

Its compact footprint makes it especially useful for smaller gardens, where every inch of space counts. Customise with your choice of wood stain or outdoor paint to match your garden palette and create a storage feature that’s as attractive as it is functional.
