Waterproof Deck Box at the Lakeside, Made to Measure

A waterproof deck box built for the water's edge

This waterproof deck box stands on Lake Woerthersee in Austria, not somewhere in a back garden but at the end of a long dock, right beside the loungers. That is exactly where the everyday need appears: cushions, towels and a few essentials should be within reach but not left lying in view. An off-the-shelf chest would not do the scene justice. The box solves it cleanly, creating order on the spot without disturbing the effect of the dock or the panorama, and its color is chosen to sit naturally on the wooden deck as if it had always belonged there, part of the deck rather than a box set down on top of it.

Rain-safe and storm-secured for an exposed spot

The location is demanding: water all around, almost no shelter, wind and weather within direct reach. This outdoor cushion box is built for exactly that. The surface is easy to care for and keeps its calm look even when sun, spray and lake air are in play the whole time. As a storm precaution the box was screwed directly to the wooden deck, a detail that shows this is about operational safety, not only design. The result is a rain-safe box that stays put and stays composed where the weather is relentless.

Waterproof HPL panels, a weatherproof box

The box is made from waterproof HPL (high-pressure laminate) panels by Trespa, a facade material engineered for the outdoors: UV-resistant, scratch-resistant and completely maintenance-free, built to hold color and precision for 50 years and more. The panels themselves are waterproof; combined with the sealed body the result is a weatherproof, rain-safe box, not a container meant to be submerged. Free color samples are sent to your home, so you can compare any of over 250 HPL colors and finishes against your own deck before deciding. The surfaces never need painting, sealing or oiling, whatever the season.

Storage that keeps the view clear

The whole point here is order without clutter, so the dock and the lake stay the stars. Compare the formats and finishes across our garden storage boxes and pick the size your spot needs, whether that is a compact chest or a generous cushion store. Cushions, towels and accessories tuck into one calm body, close at hand but never in the way of the panorama, so the storage disappears and the setting takes over.

Made to measure for a difficult place

This chest was drawn to its location rather than to a catalogue, which is why it works where a standard box would not. Width, depth and height follow the deck, and the color is matched to the wood so the piece belongs as if it had always been there. On a spot like this the box has to earn its place, and it does: high-end in looks, robust in use and simple in handling, just as it should be by the water.

Developed and built in Germany

Every DESIGA piece is developed in-house and manufactured in Germany, precisely prefabricated in the workshop so the finished quality does not depend on site work. That this quality travels far beyond central Europe is shown by our California garden house project.
