This bin is built to survive outdoor abuse and it’s the only one we found that can be padlocked.

Another offering from Iris, the Stack & Pull boxes are a bit less expensive and a pretty solid value item. These bins are opaque enough to hide the details of the potential mess contained within while still allowing enough to come through that you can easily find what you're looking for. While the design is simple, there's still an over-the-top latch on each end for added security. We tested the handy 32-quart size, but it's also available in many other sizes and shapes.
However, these bins lack a bit of oomph when it comes to stability. The sides are rather flexible and bow outward when overstuffed &mdash; which we managed to do with just three throw blankets. The latches also pop off frequently and unexpectedly during regular use. We had no problems popping them right back on, but we'd prefer for them just to stay put. Still, if you have a lot of stuff to store and need to adhere to a budget, the Stack & Pull bins come at a pretty good price for multiple bins.

These inexpensive, breathable boxes are better than plastic bins for clothes storage and they were the easiest to load and unload.
