Hello @arohar 

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's sensational to have you join us, and thanks for sharing your question about how to build an outdoor storage container.

Can you please tell us the size of the container? Will the container be exposed to full rain and sunshine, or will it be partially under cover? If it is going to be out in the weather, I suggest using 2440 x 1220mm 9mm Plywood Hardwood Marine AA Grade. For extra protection, I suggest painting the plywood inside and out.

Another method is to build a frame from 70 x 35mm Outdoor Framing H3 Treated Pine - 2.4m and covering it with 

SpecRite 90 x 19mm Merbau Pre-Oiled Decking. This entire setup is capable of withstanding full weather exposure.

Depending on how protected you want the inside of the container to be, it's possible to line the inside with BGC Durasheet 1800 x 1200 x 4.5mm Fibre Cement Cladding 2.16sqm and adding silicone to the joints providing you with a moisture tight seal.

If you have any other questions we can help with, please let us know.
