Adding Gas struts to an Outdoor Storage box

A friend of mine had an outdoor brick box in his courtyard with a rotting old lid. Made of old decking boards, it was heavy and let a lot of rain and debris into the box. It was only useful for roaches!
I decided to help him out and design and replace the old one with a custom split lid with gas struts. He can now easily store things in there out of the weather, and retrieve them with ease!
Thanks for watching, and let me know if you have any questions or comments!
