Product Information
Full details
The Red Gorilla Standard 3 Gallon Bucket is a robust and versatile container for a wide range of household, garden, and professional tasks. Ideal for DIY enthusiasts, gardeners, and tradespeople needing a durable solution for mixing, carrying, or storing, its primary benefit is its long-lasting construction and ease of cleaning. A minor consideration is its fixed 3-gallon capacity, which may not suit very large projects requiring more volume. Key features include a high-density polyethylene build, frost and UV resistance, a strong metal handle with a comfort grip, and a smooth interior for simple cleanup.

FAQs
What are the dimensions of the 3-gallon bucket?
The bucket measures approximately 25cm in height and 35cm in diameter.
Is the bucket safe for food storage?
While made from high-density polyethylene, the product description does not specify food-grade certification. It is recommended for general-purpose use rather than direct food contact.
Can the metal handle be removed?
The handle is permanently attached via rivets for structural integrity and is not designed to be removed.
What colors is this bucket available in?
The Red Gorilla Standard 3 Gallon Bucket is available in black and yellow.
How much weight can this bucket safely carry?
The bucket is designed for robust use, but for safety, avoid overfilling to a point where the handle or bucket integrity is strained. Distribute weight evenly when carrying.
Will the plastic crack in freezing temperatures?
No, the bucket is made from frost-resistant plastic, designed to withstand cold temperatures without becoming brittle or cracking.
Troubleshooting
Bucket has a persistent odor after use.
Wash thoroughly with warm water and a mild detergent. For tougher odors, a diluted vinegar solution can be used, followed by a thorough rinse.
Handle feels loose.
Check that the rivets securing the handle are intact. If loose, contact the manufacturer or retailer for replacement options or repair guidance.
Plastic appears faded or brittle.
While UV resistant, prolonged extreme exposure can eventually degrade plastic. Store indoors when not in use to maximize lifespan.
