The outdoor armoire

Kids have lots of stuff, and lots of stuff for playing outside. Our Hamptons yard generally looks like there has been an explosion of toys. Since we have an area with a covered (not enclosed) porch, I placed an armoire outside to stow of my kids "outside toys" to eliminate the need to run in and out of the garage.

Inside the armoire I store hula hoops, balls, trucks, t-ball sets, a box of bubbles, a box of little explorer toys, a box of kiddie gardening gloves/tools, kites, pop-up tunnels and the list goes on...

I was not willing to try this "experiment" on an expensive piece of furniture, so I purchased this solid wood armoire from Craigslist. The armoire is indirectly exposed to the outside elements, so it does not get rained or snowed on which has kept it in good condition. 

Where do you keep your kids outside toys? Do you have a spot where you could place an "outdoor" armoire?
