Setup, Compatibility & Care
The bucket requires no assembly and is ready for immediate use. For longevity, wipe the bucket dry after using it to transport liquids to maintain the integrity of the galvanised finish. While the steel is resistant to the elements, storing it under cover during prolonged winter months will help prevent water pooling and potential oxidation over time. If using as a planter, consider drilling small holes in the base for drainage if your specific plant requires it.
