Description

Built to offer dependable, fuss-free storage in a sleek and compact form, the 5 x 3 Globel Metal Cushion Storage Box in Grey is perfect for patios, decks, and outdoor living areas. Made from high-tensile, hot-dipped galvanised steel with a five-coat painted finish, this box resists rust, scratches, and weather damage—no maintenance, rot, or repainting.

Two hydraulic arms support the top-opening lid for smooth, controlled lifting and closing. Inside, an integrated metal floor helps keep stored items clean and dry, while the wide opening makes it easy to grab outdoor cushions, BBQ tools, or gardening essentials without digging around. The reinforced lid also doubles as occasional seating—simply add a cushion, and it becomes a sturdy garden bench.

With a fire-retardant design and lockable lid (padlock not included), this metal cushion box is also perfect for caravan parks and sites where non-combustible storage is necessary. Compact yet surprisingly roomy, it’s a durable and practical upgrade for any outdoor space.

What is Hot Dipped Galvanised:

Hot-dip galvanising is a proven process that protects steel from corrosion by coating it with a thick layer of zinc. The raw steel is submerged in molten zinc, which forms a strong metallurgical bond with the surface. This durable zinc layer acts as a barrier, shielding the steel from moisture and oxygen—both primary causes of rust.

Unlike simple painted finishes, the hot-dip galvanised coating protects even if the surface is scratched. It’s not just a coating—it’s a defence mechanism. For the Globel sheds and garages, this process begins with an unpainted steel base, known as the Base Metal Thickness (BMT), typically at 0.25mm. Once galvanised and fabricated, the components are powder-coated, resulting in a final thickness of approximately 0.3mm for added strength and resilience.

Benefits of Hot-Dip Galvanising:

Hot-dip galvanising offers long-term protection and exceptional durability—ideal for outdoor buildings like sheds, garages, and storage boxes, which must withstand harsh weather conditions year-round. Here are the key benefits:

• Corrosion Resistance – The thick zinc coating prevents rust by sealing the steel from air and moisture. Even scratched surfaces remain protected.
• Long-Lasting Finish – The steel panels are powder coated after fabrication—meaning even the edges, holes, and cut surfaces are sealed against corrosion.
• Improved Colour Consistency – Switching from pre-coloured steel to post-fabrication powder coating ensures a uniform, rich finish with fewer imperfections.
• Increased Durability – Powder coating enhances the weather resistance of the galvanised surface, extending the structure's lifespan.
• Smooth Edges and Neat Appearance – The coated edges provide a cleaner, more refined finish, reducing the risk of flaking or premature wear. 

This dual protection system—hot-dip galvanising followed by powder coating—results in a shed that’s strong, secure, stylish, and built to last.

Make the Most of Your Metal Bike Storage

Use it as a tidy place to store seat cushions, picnic blankets, garden games, or kids’ toys—all neatly out of sight and protected from the weather. Its flat top and strong structure make it great as a side table, bench, or storage seat for smaller patios or balconies.

The hydraulic lid arms make access effortless—even one-handed—and the sleek anthracite grey finish gives it a smart, contemporary edge that fits any garden style.
