Our "Utility Tub" is the perfect storage solution, it has many uses that make it a universal storage space for your projects, it comes with ample storage space for your personal belongings: wallet, keys, phone, sunglasses, small portable electronics. We recommend mounting this vertically (due to possible water buildup in between the hatch lid and frame), however the reinforced ribs on the lid make it capable of being stood or walked on for long periods of time. This is our lowest profile hatch that minimizes the chance of it being a tripping hazard as well if mounted in a high traffic area. The improved gasketing system provides a watertight seal that will keep everything underneath it dry. This product holds up to the harshest of weather conditions and is impervious to harsh chemicals. All of our products are UV stabilized minimizing degradation from prolonged sunlight exposure. Our superior 316 stainless steel piano hinge system prevents any premature rusting due to saltwater. Superior materials for a superior product.
