Know before you buy
Yes, the integrated drainage holes allow you to rinse your harvested produce right in the trug. It is designed to function as both a harvest basket and a colander, making it easy to clean your fruits and vegetables immediately after picking.
The trug is made from sturdy, rot-proof polypropylene, which is lightweight yet durable enough to handle standard garden harvests. While it is robust, it is best suited for typical home garden quantities rather than heavy-duty commercial loads.
The trug measures 21.25 inches long by 12.25 inches wide and stands 4.5 inches high. When the handles are folded down, the profile remains at that 4.5-inch height, allowing you to easily slide it onto a shelf or hang it in a shed.
The trug is constructed from waterproof, rot-proof plastic that will not rust or splinter. While it is designed to withstand moisture, storing it out of direct, prolonged sunlight when not in use will help maintain the integrity of the plastic over time.
Absolutely. The open-top design and drainage holes make it an excellent vessel for gathering flowers, as you can easily mist them or give them a quick rinse to remove garden debris before bringing them inside.
