When Sibford School needed a reliable outdoor solution for storing large quantities of swimming pool chemicals, they turned to HSE Store for expert guidance. What started as a search for a possible custom galvanised cabinet ended with the perfect ready-made solution — two Armorgard ChemCube CCC3 units delivered and installed in just 2–3 working days.
The school’s swimming pool facility required secure, weatherproof storage for chlorine and other hazardous chemicals. The chosen location had very specific space constraints, making the right product choice critical for both safety and practicality.
The Challenge
Schools and educational facilities face strict COSHH regulations when storing pool chemicals outdoors. The storage unit needed to be fully weatherproof, highly secure, and capable of safely containing corrosive and hazardous substances while remaining compliant with current safety standards.
Sibford School initially explored the possibility of a custom-fabricated galvanised solution to fit their exact dimensions and location. However, they were concerned about long lead times, higher costs, and whether a bespoke build would truly offer the long-term durability required in an exposed outdoor environment.
They needed a proven, purpose-designed chemical storage cabinet that could be delivered quickly without compromising on safety or quality.
Our Recommendation
After discussing the school’s exact requirements, we recommended the Armorgard ChemCube CCC3 — the largest model in the range. This purpose-built outdoor chemical storage cabinet is specifically engineered for the safe storage of hazardous substances in external environments.
We supplied two CCC3 units, which perfectly matched the space available and provided ample capacity for the quantities of chemicals the school needed to store. The ChemCube’s robust design and COSHH compliance made it the ideal choice over a custom build.
Key Features Delivered
The Armorgard ChemCube range is built for demanding outdoor use. Each CCC3 unit features:
- Heavy-duty, fully weatherproof construction designed to withstand the elements
- High-security locking system for safe storage of hazardous chemicals
- COSHH-compliant design with excellent ventilation and containment
- Bright yellow colour with clear hazard warning signage for instant identification
- Spacious internal capacity ideal for large quantities of pool chemicals
These features make the ChemCube the go-to solution for schools, leisure centres, and industrial sites that need reliable outdoor chemical storage.

The Result
The two ChemCube cabinets were installed quickly and are now performing perfectly. Sibford School has a safe, professional, and fully compliant solution for storing their pool chemicals outdoors, with no ongoing concerns about weather damage or security.
The school was delighted with both the product recommendation and the speed of delivery, allowing them to maintain their high standards of health and safety without disruption.
