Adding casters/wheels to resin deck box—help??

Ordered a 170 gal Keter resin deck box for really good price from Sam’s. Will use it mainly for pool equipment and maybe patio cushions if looks like big blow. Would like to add casters or some type of wheels to bottom to help move it inside in hurricane weather. Haven’t see it so don’t know how thick resin is in bottom/corners but Keter is good brand… and don’t think this will be too heavy for rollers. 3 options I thought of— just buy 2-4 plant dollies and maybe glue to bottom to prevent slipping around Buy casters/wheels and mount to bottom of box— 3 Build frame from pvc pipe smaller than outside dimensions and add casters to it—can use crossbar and add caster to it halfway—my husband has made other carts with pvc and works on our irrigation system anyone do something similar? I just got such good price on this I couldn’t justify spending more to get something with built in wheels…but I also don’t want to try something that will cause issues with resin splitting So 1 and 3 seem safer options. submitted by /u/FearlessLanguage7169 [link] [comments]
