- Carrying and hauling:Load a tub up with tools, firewood or other supplies to save trips back and forth. Their strong handles make hauling heavy loads much more convenient.
- Worksites and clean-up:Keep your work area tidy by using a tub to collect debris and scraps. They are also great for mixing concrete or paint for smaller DIY projects.
How to Choose the Best Utility Tub
With so many options, we’ll help make it easier to find the perfect tub for your needs. Think about the kind of work you’ll be doing and look for a combination of material size and features that fit the job.
Material and Durability
The material of your tub determines its weight, flexibility and what it’s best used for. Galvanized steel tubs are extremely durable, rust-proof and offer a classic look. They are ideal for heavy-duty use like watering livestock or carrying abrasive materials. Heavy-duty plastic tubs are more lightweight and flexible, making them great for general-purpose gardening tasks and easier to carry around.
Size and Capacity
Utility tubs come in a wide variety of sizes. A small 5-gallon tub might be perfect for hand-weeding or carrying tools while a large 15-gallon tub is better suited for icing down drinks or handling bigger clean-up jobs. Check the gallon capacity to make sure a tub is large enough for your project but not too big to handle comfortably.
