The perfect spot to pause for a break on a hot summer’s day, this outdoor bench by Randy & Travis Machinery also doubles as a handy storage piece, holding .45 cubic metres of outdoor accessories. Stash your garden tools, your watering can, gloves, and fertiliser inside this lovely bench, and you’ll never have to wonder where they’re at. Or use it by the pool to store maintenance equipment and chemicals.

On the patio or deck, use this bench to store charcoal and lighter fluid right by your barbecue. If your grill skills attract extra guests, it can serve as overflow seating. Easily assembled with no tools required, you don’t have to be a great DIYer to put it together. Just follow the included instructions, and you’ll have a dual-purpose, great-looking bench you’ll be proud to show off to your neighbours.
