FAQs
What are the exact dimensions of the medium size?
The medium Red Gorilla Flexible Tub measures 30 x 39 cm (11.8 x 15.4 inches).
What is the weight capacity of the medium tub?
While the product doesn't specify a strict weight limit, it is designed for durability. However, it's advisable to distribute heavy loads evenly and avoid overfilling to prevent excessive flexing.
Can this tub be used for food storage?
The tub is made from food-grade plastic and can be used for temporary food storage, provided it is thoroughly cleaned before and after use. However, it is not designed for long-term or specialized food preservation.
Is the tub suitable for freezing contents?
The flexible material can become brittle in extreme cold. While it might withstand some freezing, it's not recommended for prolonged freezing applications as it could lead to cracking.
How much does the medium tub weigh?

Can I leave this tub outside permanently?
The tub is designed for outdoor use and is UV resistant to some extent. However, prolonged exposure to harsh weather elements without protection may eventually degrade the material.
Does the color Black affect its use?
The black color is standard and does not affect the tub's functionality or durability. It may absorb more heat in direct sunlight compared to lighter colors.
Troubleshooting
Tub seems misshapen after delivery or storage
This is normal due to the flexible material. Fill the tub with warm water or place it in a warm environment for a short period, then reshape by hand. It will retain its form once filled or in use.
Material feels stiff in cold weather
The flexibility of the material can be reduced in very cold temperatures. Allow the tub to warm up slightly indoors before attempting to bend or stretch it.
Difficulty cleaning stubborn residue
For dried mud or residue, soak the tub in warm, soapy water for 15-30 minutes before scrubbing with a soft brush. A baking soda paste can also help lift stains.
