garden storage ideas?

minnie pal · **Posted: 19-07-2009 , 12:37 AM** #1

looking for something not ugly to store cushions and recliner cushions overnight. and maybe to give me extra storage for other things.
but basically not to be heaving back to house dog blankets my many pillows and reclining mattresses etc.
I think the size of a blanket box would be great, but so far havent found any on the sites yet.
any ideas?
If i make a box with left over white laminated mdf. will this rot? what can i cover it with to make attractive eg, bamboo screen pieces?

was in the art world a very long time, but not great with people so all energy was thrown into inanimate stuff, pity cos would have liked to have been creative in helping others but instead i like beauty and being inventive and creative, i do get a tremendous buzz out of it all, i have to say.
long hours, lots of time to think -- using brain matter more than other skills now.

Hi
Do not use the m.d. f. it will not last the Winter.
Get an old plastic oil drum square/rectangle cut it in two
And fashion it into a nice seat, like the ones you see on yachts

Keno, what a wonderful message to wake up to, thats very kind and set up my day for me.
Wheelbarrow (!) that your name? Thanks too for the oil drums, i live near the sea and do a lot of photography down there, i know where i can try and seek one out.
Thanks to both of ye.

In case your still on the look out for an attractive storage for your items - A beehive compost bin... Yep its beautiful, looks like an old fashioned beehive and has a hinged top. Try to google it, they can be painted any colour you like....
