Instructions
1. Compare various units in consumer magazines and online. You will want to choose one with durability that is affordable.
2. Make sure the materials are weatherproof. Plastic or PVC are nice choices, but if you have to have wood, go with red cedar.
3. Pick a cabinet that is easy to secure. You have to lock the doors and you must be able to secure the unit either to an existing structure or to the ground.
4. Check the construction of the cabinet. The pieces should be robust and fit well together.
5. Decide if you want to purchase a pre-fabricated unit or one that you will have to assemble yourself. Be sure you have the skills and tools necessary for the job.
6. Examine the interior of the cabinet. Are there gaps allowing the weather to come in, and if so, will this be a problem?
7. Measure the interior space of the cabinet. Is this enough room?
8. Find out if the cabinet can be painted.
