FAQs

What is the total capacity when buying this pack?

This pack contains two buckets, each with a 15-litre capacity, for a combined total of 30 litres when both are used.

Are these buckets safe for carrying hot BBQ ashes?

Yes, the galvanized steel construction is suitable for carrying BBQ ashes, but it is recommended to allow the ashes to cool significantly before placing them in the bucket to prevent potential damage or safety hazards.

Can I use these buckets for storing water outdoors?

The buckets can hold water, but prolonged submersion or storage of stagnant water is not recommended as it may affect the galvanized coating over time. Ensure seams are watertight before using for liquid transport.

What material is the handle made of?

The handle is made of wood, designed for a comfortable and secure grip.

How thick is the steel used?

The steel thickness is 0.4mm, providing a balance of durability and manageable weight.

Can these buckets be used as plant pots?

Yes, the product description notes that they can be adapted for use as plant pots, adding a decorative element to gardens.

What are the dimensions of each bucket?

Each bucket has a height of 300mm, a bottom width of 230mm, and a top width of 320mm.

Troubleshooting

Bucket has a slight leak from seams.

For minor leaks, ensure the bucket is thoroughly dried and consider applying a thin bead of waterproof sealant along the inside of the seams. For significant leaks, contact customer support.

Wooden handle feels loose.

Check if the fixings holding the handle are tight. If they are, and the handle is still loose, professional repair might be needed. Ensure the handle is dry before tightening.

Surface rust appears on the galvanized steel.

Light surface rust can often be removed with a soft cloth and a mild abrasive cleaner. Ensure the bucket is dried thoroughly afterward. For extensive rust, consult product documentation for specific treatments.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Compatibility: These buckets are compatible with a wide range of materials. They are suitable for carrying dry goods, liquids (ensure seams are watertight before prolonged liquid storage), garden waste, hot ashes (allow ashes to cool significantly before placing in the bucket), and cleaning solutions. They are designed for general use and are not intended for food-grade storage.

Care: To maintain the longevity of your metal buckets:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe down with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use mild soap and water. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely to prevent water spots.
  2. Storage: Store in a dry, well-ventilated area when not in use. Avoid prolonged exposure to harsh weather conditions if not in use.
  3. Handle Care: Periodically check the wooden handle for any signs of wear. You can apply a food-safe wood treatment or oil if it appears dry.
