Garden cabinet as a design element in the garden

A design element in the garden with plenty of storage. The RO. garden cabinet keeps a low, calm line while holding cushions, tools, pool supplies or waste bins.

The same 80 cm modules as the rest of the system, so it can grow into a longer cabinet or a full outdoor store.

· 01

Low line, generous volume

A garden cabinet stays low enough to keep the garden open, and deep enough to store properly. Width and layout are chosen per module.

· 02

Finish in the colour you choose

Powder-coated aluminium in the RAL colours from the available range, or corten steel and stainless steel for a livelier material.

· 03

Also a bench or bin enclosure

The same cabinet works as seating, as a bin enclosure or as storage beside the terrace door. One system, several roles.

Where a garden cabinet earns its place

Beside the terrace door

Cushions, throws and garden tools within reach, exactly where you use them. The low line keeps the view across the garden open and the cabinet reads as part of the terrace, not as a storage box.

As a bench around the terrace

A closed module at seat height works as bench and storage at once. Several modules in a row define the terrace edge and add seating without loose furniture.

Housing for waste containers

Two or three bins behind a door that swings fully open, so you roll them straight out. From the street only a calm surface in your chosen colour remains visible.

A garden cabinet as a design element

Low volume, generous storage

A RO. garden cabinet stays low enough not to break the view across the garden, yet offers the volume of a full storage unit. Limiting the height and working in width creates a horizontal line that defines a terrace or lawn instead of dominating it. That same volume takes cushions, tools, pots or pool equipment without needing a second cabinet.

Also a bench, also a divider

Because the cabinet can be built at seat height, it often does double duty: storage inside, a bench or surface on top. In an L-shaped composition it becomes a low divider between terrace and lawn. That dual function is why many clients choose a cabinet over a tall shed: the same usefulness with less visual mass.

Colour as a design decision

The cabinet usually sits in full view, so colour matters more than on a unit at the back of the garden. Deep black and anthracite let the volume recede against greenery; sand tones and off-white bring it forward as an object. Corten steel gives a warm, living tone that stabilises after a few seasons. The configurator shows the chosen finish on your own composition.

Detailing: hinges and seams

Hinges are concealed and the seams between panels are kept soft, so the cabinet reads as one volume rather than a row of little doors. Where possible doors open without a handle, keeping the front calm. That detailing is exactly the difference between a storage box and a design element in the garden.

· Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a garden cabinet and a garden store?

A cabinet is lower and more compact, meant for everyday storage near the terrace or facade. A garden store is taller and walk-in. Both use the same RO. modules.

Can the cabinet stand against a facade?

Yes. Setups against a facade or wall are a common starting point; you choose in the configurator which sides stay closed.

Which materials are available?

Powder-coated aluminium, corten steel, stainless steel and glazed panels, from the same available range as the rest of the system.

Can I order with a VAT number?

Yes. When ordering you tick 'order as a company' and enter your VAT number so it appears on the invoice.

Can I sit on the garden cabinet?

In the seat-height version the top is intended for that. Tell us how you plan to use it and we confirm the right build.

Is the garden cabinet waterproof?

The cabinet is conceived as outdoor furniture: rainwater drains away and the contents stay dry. For fully sealed storage of sensitive equipment we discuss the build with you.

Is the garden cabinet waterproof?

It is built for outdoor use and keeps rain and splashing water out of the storage space. It is not airtight: deliberate ventilation remains, because still air is exactly what causes damp and musty smells.

Can I extend the cabinet later?

Yes. A garden cabinet is an assembly of the same 80 cm modules as the rest of the system, so you can add a module later or let it grow into a taller storage unit.
