Dock & Deck Box Overview

This is an aluminum dock or deck storage box designed for securely storing outdoor equipment, gear, and valuables in exposed environments. The unit is constructed from rustproof aluminum with a durable powder-coated finish and is fully lockable for added security.

Built and fully constructed in the USA, the box incorporates rounded corners to help prevent snags and integrated rod holders for convenient storage of fishing rods and tackle close to the water or work area.

How This Dock Box Works

The storage box provides a sealed, rigid aluminum enclosure intended to protect contents from the elements while keeping frequently used gear accessible. The hinged lid opens from the top, allowing easy access to stored items without removing the box from its installed position.

Built-in rod holders allow fishing rods to be stored securely while remaining ready for use. The fully lockable design allows users to secure contents when the box is unattended.

Best Use Cases

• Dock or deck installations requiring weather-resistant storage
• Storing fishing rods, tackle, and outdoor gear close to the water
