Re: Storage Under Deck Benches..... Waterproof Storage
The simpilest and most cost effective method I have used is to insert a water proof box of some sort into what you build instead of trying to build something water proof. Build the bench to accomodate the water proof box with a nice custom fit and a lid that opens.

Re: Storage Under Deck Benches..... Waterproof Storage
The plastic box inside would be the less costley way to go. A person could also glue up the top and sides of the bench and charge the dickens out of the Wallet for custom work. Tightbond111 and biskets would do it with a rubber seal under the door/lid. Around $200 would work for me as well!!
