Abrasive material may be incorporated into the surfaces of the box, can be sprayed or rolled on the surfaces or can take the form of a thin flexible sheet of abrasive sheet material which is adhered to the surfaces of the box. Sheets are constructed to fit the side surfaces, end surfaces and bottom surface. The sheets can be adhered with a permanent or with an easily removable adhesive. The easily removable sheets can be replaced when worn. The sheets may include waterproofing material and or scented material and may be imprinted with a design pattern.
