The synthetic wicker deck box with an internal mesh divider offers a polished, high-capacity storage solution that keeps pool clutter completely hidden from view. Built around a powder-coated aluminum frame wrapped in all-weather resin wicker, this piece provides maximum resistance against sun fading, rain, and pool splashes. The interior features a custom removable mesh divider that splits the large box into two dedicated functional compartments. One side holds folded dry towels elevated on a raised slatted floor, while the opposite side accommodates deflated floats, water toys, and pump accessories. Integrated hydraulic gas struts keep the heavy lid open safely during access, preventing accidental slamming on hands. The breathable mesh liner and slatted base promote constant air movement, preventing stagnant air accumulation and moisture buildup inside the box. This multi-functional piece doubles as functional patio seating when closed, making it an excellent dual-purpose investment for any outdoor living space.
Step-by-Step Creation Method
Select an all-weather synthetic resin wicker deck box with a minimum capacity of 100 gallons and built-in hydraulic lid hinges. Line the interior with a heavy-duty, mildew-resistant polyester mesh liner secured along the upper inside perimeter using adhesive hook-and-loop strips. Install a rigid PVC or aluminum frame down the center of the box to hold a vertical mesh divider wall, creating two separate storage zones. Place a raised plastic or teak slatted floor mat on the towel side to keep clean linens elevated above any moisture that collects at the bottom. Stack clean, folded pool towels neatly inside the elevated compartment, keeping them protected from dirt and rain. Place folded inflatable floats, water balls, and pump hoses into the secondary open compartment. Ensure the top lid seals properly when closed, and wipe down the exterior wicker periodically with mild soap and water to maintain its finish.
