FAQs
Is the Tubtrug safe for food storage?
While durable, the standard Red Gorilla Tubtrug is primarily designed for utility, gardening, and construction. It is generally not rated for direct food contact.
Can I leave this outside in the winter?
Yes, the Tubtrug is weather-resistant and designed to handle cold temperatures without becoming brittle or cracking.
How much weight can it hold?
While there is no specific weight limit provided, it is designed to hold the weight of a full 38-liter load of materials like water, soil, or gravel.
Are these tubs stackable?
Yes, they are designed to nest inside each other when empty, which helps significantly with storage space.
Can I use it to carry water?
Yes, it is waterproof and functions well as a temporary container for water or liquid mixtures.
Troubleshooting
Tub becomes misshapen
The flexible material is designed to flex. Simply press the sides back into their intended shape or fill with items to restore form.
Hardened debris stuck to interior
Soak the tub in warm soapy water for 15 minutes to loosen residue, then scrub gently with a soft brush.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
The Red Gorilla Tubtrug requires no assembly; it is ready to use straight from the label removal. Because of its 100% recyclable material, maintenance is straightforward: simply rinse the interior with water to remove dirt or residue. For tougher stains or buildup, a soft-bristled brush and mild soap are sufficient. To ensure longevity, avoid prolonged exposure to extremely high heat or fire, and avoid using heavy-duty chemical solvents which could degrade the integrity of the plastic over time. Store the tubs nested together when not in use to preserve floor space in your shed or garage.
