Product Information
Full details
The Red Gorilla Recycled Tub is an ideal storage and utility solution for homeowners, gardeners, and construction professionals seeking a heavy-duty container that thrives in harsh conditions. Its primary benefit lies in its remarkable durability and all-weather resilience, supporting up to 100kg despite its lightweight feel. While it offers unmatched structural integrity, users should note that the open-top design does not include a lid, meaning it is better suited for open storage rather than airtight preservation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This tub requires no assembly and is ready for immediate use upon arrival. To maintain its longevity, avoid using sharp blades or power tools directly inside the base, as deep gouges can eventually compromise the integrity of the recycled plastic.
Cleaning is straightforward: simply rinse the tub with a hose or pressure washer to remove dirt, mud, or construction dust. For stubborn stains or sticky residue, a mild detergent and a soft brush will suffice. When not in use, the tubs are designed to nest partially inside one another if you own multiple units, helping to save floor space in your garage or garden shed.
