Know before you buy
Yes. Despite their flexible design, these trugs are engineered to support up to 600 lbs, making them capable of handling heavy soil, rocks, or garden debris without compromising their structure.
Absolutely. The recycled plastic construction is specifically designed to be resistant to both extreme heat and cold, so they can be stored outdoors year-round without cracking or degrading.
Because they are made from waterproof, non-porous recycled plastic, you can simply hose them down or wipe them with a damp cloth. They are designed to be low-maintenance and easy to keep clean.
Yes, the metallic versions incorporate aluminum into the recycled plastic blend to achieve their unique finish. Both versions maintain the same high level of durability and weight capacity.
The trugs feature a nestable design, meaning they fit perfectly inside one another. This allows you to stack them compactly in a shed or garage, occupying only the footprint of the largest trug in the set.
The trugs are equipped with dual reinforced handles designed for a secure grip. Their flexible nature allows you to pull the handles together for one-handed carrying or use both hands for heavier loads.
