A solid wooden storage chest that holds 250 litres of garden kit: hosepipes, tools, cushions, toys and all the bits that clutter the patio. The felted lid lifts on gas struts and stays open while you rummage.

Key Specifications

  • Dimensions: 135 cm (W) x 60 cm (D) x 68 cm (H)
  • Capacity: 250 litres
  • Material: FSC-certified, pressure treated Scandinavian redwood
  • Weight: Approx. 45 kg

Product Description

Overview
At 135 cm wide, 60 cm deep and 68 cm high, the chest sits neatly against a wall, at the end of the patio or beside the back door. It's the slimmer of the two Churnet Valley chests, 15 cm shallower than the 290 litre version, so it suits narrower patios and paths.

Construction & Quality
It's handmade in Staffordshire by Churnet Valley from thick Scandinavian redwood that's FSC certified and pressure treated (tanalised), so it resists rot for up to 20 years with proper care. The sides are clad in 20 x 70 mm boards on a 45 x 45 mm frame, and the lid is 15 mm tongue and groove under a felt top that sheds rain.

Practicality
Gas struts take the weight of the lid, so it opens easily and won't slam shut. Black lifting handles at each end make it easy to move into place. Delivery is free to your door on a pallet, kerbside.

Main Features

  • Gas-assisted lid: The felted lid lifts on gas struts and stays open while you load it.
  • 250 litres of storage: Room for hosepipes, tools, cushions and outdoor toys.
  • Felted lid: A felt-topped tongue and groove lid helps keep the contents dry.
  • Pressure treated timber: Tanalised to resist rot for up to 20 years with proper care.
  • Handmade in the UK: Made in Staffordshire from FSC-certified Scandinavian redwood.

Important Notes

  • Arrives fully assembled on a single pallet. It weighs around 45 kg, so two people are recommended to move it.
  • Stand it on firm, level ground so the lid closes evenly.
  • Not designed to be watertight: keep electrical items and anything that must stay bone dry in a sealed container.
  • Hosepipe and contents shown in the photos are not included.
  • Usually delivered in 3–5 working days.

Great choice, easy order, fast delivery!

It was easy to choose the right product, even easier to order and the delivery went as promised. There was even the bonus of the carrier leaving a hardwood pallet which has augmented the log pile 😊
