How to Make a Patio Deck Box // Pool Storage
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
For today's project I'm tackling some organization - but not in the shop! We have a pool in backyard and we love it, but the pool accessories can get a bit out of hand. Storing them out of sight can be difficult if you don't have anywhere to put them so I thought I'd solve that! This deck box will also serve as a table for entertaining and a home for our pool robot (is that a poolba?).
The construction is pretty easy and is made from treated 2x4's and cedar boards. All of the materials I'm using for this build are meant to live outside. What I don't want living INSIDE are bugs and critters so I took some extra steps to seal up this box.
I hope you enjoy the video, and if you have a similar problem, maybe this will give you some ideas for how to solve it. I don't have specific plans on this box but I tried to include as much detail as possible so you could make one of your own. Enjoy!

It was nice that you helped your wife put that box together 😊. At least that is the way it is at my house. Built a big outdoor shed last Fall and my wife helped holding the level when I was setting forms for the concrete base. Weekends later when friends were over for dinner she had to show everybody the shed WE built ! When I peeled potatoes for Thanksgiving I asked everybody if they enjoyed the meal we made. Apparently she didn't see the humor. Last time I do that ! 😁

I like how you were able to make the top of the deck box flush with your grill. Doubles as more prep/serving area for parties! Awesome build!
I'm impressed that your garage has space for a wood shop, home gyme, and a Corvette.
So many things to like here. Congrats on the future addition to the family! The off the cuff "we're doing it live" and above all #GBO
I am in a similar situation where I just installed a pool and have a lot of crap around for it. I also looked at buying something but nothing really matched what I wanted to do. My situation is a bit different where the box will be up a bit higher but your ideas and suggestions, especially about bug proofing, are great tips. I really like the cedar finish.
Great deck storage ! Thank you for sharing!
Looks good. Your wife is crazy for wanting it darker!!! At least you’re the one that has to live with her!!! Keep up the good work. Definitely enjoying your videos!!
I love it. I'm trying to make extra storage on my deck for clothing and comforters when the season changes but also have it has table or seating and saw your video. I also love the furr baby's they so cute. Also congratations to you and your wife with the new addition to the family. May God bless you and your family. Can't wait to see what you do next.
Definitely jealous of your garage. Pretty sweet setup
Great video, I really appreciate the sense of humor. Glad to see your channel taking off like it has!
Always enjoy your content. Thank you for your time and efforts. Always look forward to seeing what’s next. All the best
Looks great. Well done!
glad you started making again
Awesome deck box. I love it. Good sense of humor too...👍
Great build!
That turned out very nice. I'm going to try building one.
Looks good!
Awesome looks great.
Nice job. About to build one myself. Liked your idea for putting screen on the bottom.
Good work! Much better than the plastic one we have. I guess I need to build one of these and make the other one disappear.
"doin' it live!!"....love it!

OK, you're making me re-design my back yard storage box...Not really, I'll just copy yours. Also in Texas and same issue with the wasps, I'll need to take same measures. Great looking build!

Cool project, that pool robot is the bane of my existence. I had to rebuild it twice in 6 months. Went back to to a pressure side cleaner.

Good job as always! Roll Tide!
Great video. I plan on doing this but a little taller for a garbage box. I’m in Canada and raccoons destroy all of the cheap rubber/plastic box store garbage boxes. Thanks for sharing this video; well done.
Nice Project! Thank you for the inspiration!!!!!!!!!! KEEP IT UP!!!!!!!!!!!!

Perfect.
Good job
Great job, and yeah a handle and gas struts could be cool, especially for the kids when they get older, so they don’t hurt themselves.
Excellent video, new subscriber.
“Pool crap” 😂. I can totally relate.
Looks great so much better than just having pool crap laying around - like I do.
Awesome. No manufacturer makes deck boxes that are long enough. I was trying to figure out a waterproof way to store the frame poles for my wife's fancy pro art show canopy...which are about 6 feet even when collapsed. You could really carve out a niche for yourself with this...maybe with one continuous compartment instead of two.

Very nice build~! I have a couple of heavy duty deck boxes by the pool and on the deck that we bought years ago, but your video gave me a great idea for making them mobile and bug-proof at the same time. I've been trying to figure a way to block critters (roaches in Georgia) from the drain holes/slots without completely blocking them up and seeing the window screen on the base of yours planted the seed. Thanks much~!!

I agree!
Glad to hear you’ll be making more videos. Your videos are very entertaining and informative. Infotainment. Nice work once again. Any new equipment - shop or video?
Great build; very helpful. Too bad lumber is so expensive in NA now. As such, I'm making my box frame out of very old, but treated 4x4s and skinning in cedar that I have a little left over from previous projects.
THANK YOU
”Redneck furniture” hahaha love it!!
My friend was using a “user friendly” brad nail gun when the brad diverted and imbedded itself in his face next to his eye. Half an inch more, and he would have lost an eye. I’m a first believer in wearing eye protection, with any type of woodworking activity. Take my advise for what it is worth, always wear eye protection. I loved your storage box design and will definitely make one for my outside compressor. Thanks!

Where can we find the exact plan ?
Nice
Am I gonna have to be the first one to praise the "floppy taco" mention in this video? Ok, fine... Great build by the way. I would def like to build something very similar.
Good job! And Roll Tide!
i loved the video. Do you think you could do one on say a little bigger one. like a Combo two trash can and bike storage? Thank you so much
Loved the vid. You make it look so simple. Love the dogs hahahaha and your wife is so cute. God bless your family!!! So, can I order one of these?
Great project. I have the same problem. This looks like a solution. Do you remember the general materials cost of this project.?
Nice build. But I have to agree with your wife on the stain color. 😂
I gave you two thumbs up for the dogs...
Very nice; thank you. Would love a photo of the final product with the different stain your wife preferred. I'm curious why you chose 87" for the length (9" shorter than the 8 ft 2x4's). I'm building it right now outside and deciding if I should cut my 8' 2x4's. And I want to say congratulations on your successes.

Great video and workmanship. Approximately how much was it in materials?
Would this double as a couch/bench for sitting on if made lower? Would it be strong enough structure-wise? Looking into building a couch of some kind with storage for my soon-to-come balcony.
when you get the screws?
Step 1: Snap your fingers.... Done. Nice job dude!
this is awesome. i need something very similar so i may steal some of this. I am a beginner and want to make something that hides the electric outlets that come out of the ground next to the pool paver deck. they are all caddywampus. i'd like to have a area for the robot, and then a cupboard like area for the alexa- it needs shade. I may make mine more like a dresser/armoire.
Great video, just in time for summer. Approx how much did this cost for materials?
Shop Nation, how long were your cedar siding slats? Also, on the top, it looks like you had a piece of trim between the fixed cover over the pool cleaner and the hinged lid. How did you do that?
@Shop Nation, what kind of tip were you using to pre drill your screw holes, I see it looks like it buries the screw? What is that please my good man?
"red neck furniture" ouch! I see you change the angle of the nail gun at each nail. Does that actually help increase holding power?

No idea, figured it would help!
Looks good you should miter your corners
Any plans/cut lists available for this?
Your house is very nice. I'd love to have a lake view minus the wasps.
Great video! Would this stand up to the extreme Nevada heat and sun or would you recommend a different wood/stain?

That is a great question, I’m sure the materials are fine you would just need to reapply more frequently I would think
Did you make the tongue and groove or did you make them?
Now you need to level the grill to match the box. :-)
What program did you used to do all the blue print?
Very cool. I hate finishing as well. I would rather sand than stain or paint.
