The most common materials include:

  • Plastic: Durable, weather-resistant, and low-maintenance. It's a great choice for high-moisture areas or regions with extreme temperatures.
  • Wood: Provides a natural, warm look. It's perfect for cottage-style outdoor spaces, but requires regular maintenance to withstand the elements.
  • Metal: Offers superior strength and durability. It's lockable, providing added security for your outdoor items. However, it may get hot under the sun and can be noisy during rain.
