Questions & Answers

The gauge (thickness) of the steel is what?

According to Behrens, the bucket is made from 30 gauge galvanized steel, which is available at a big box store that starts That information can be found on that store's website. My 2012 12 quart bucket (also 30 gauge) has survived countless camping trips, parties and events where it was thrown around, hit, scooted over rough concrete and filled to capacity without a scratch. My experience is that the ones I received in fall 2016 are still of the same high quality as the ones I purchased in fall 2016. I am really impressed with the quality of these

Can anyone tell me how big this bucket on top will be for a ten gallon bucket Are we talking about 12 gallons here?

It is possible to make buckets that are as large as 4 1/2 gallons under this number

Does a top come in different colors?

There was a top on ours.

The height of the bucket is only the bucket's height, or is it the handle standing up as well?

The bucket is all we have

One really fun thing about this bucket is the welded quality buckets were made in Mexico, while the leaker was made in the old Our Scout troop normally purchases these from the local Ace hardware store, but they were out of stock and we had to make do with what we had
3/5

A bucket like this is what the boys use to keep water warm and do dishes. On the other hand, the one from Amazon is glued at the seams instead of being welded together. A little heat made the bucket leak everywhere as soon as it reached a certain temperature. It leaked even after one of the dads had applied JB weld to all seams. One really fun thing about this bucket is the welded quality buckets were made in Mexico, while the leaker was made in the old I'm so sorry.

It is our third time buying a bucket! You can use this for a million different purposes! The 2 dozen Behrens pails now belong to us 3 of them have 12 & 11 gallon capacities each A hundred and one ways have come in handy because of them
5/5

The buckets are very useful for our camping trips. We use the water pail, dish washing bucket, fire extinguisher, and cabin trash can to carry water. The buckets have been used to collect pecans that we had gathered at a field The pick-up line For the drive-through fire pit, I filled them with kindling so a messy fire pit would be contained when it was out in the yard. Party favors - we use them for parties It serves as a drink icing bucket, a goody bag holder, and an impromptu trash can - all at the same time In lessons on fire building, I have used emergency water buckets to teach fire building to ten and eleven year old kids. My son spilled gas on his shirt and I used one bucket as a wash basin outside so that my washing machine would not be contaminated. I like to leave a bunch of Halloween candy on my porch so that I don't have to keep answering the door Egg hunts in dewy wet grass are made easier with this Easter egg basket! You won't realize how handy these buckets are until you have one handed to you! There are countless uses for these sturdy buckets but until you have one hand to you, As they are such good buckets, we are at risk of losing them if we do not write our name on them. I use a Sharpie to write our name on them. You may be able to find these on Amazon for under ten dollars, which is a lot less than at As an outdoor-loving couple, I would have liked to receive one of these as a wedding or baby shower gift because I am serious about being active and staying active Those we have used so much have been loved by our family. When it comes to steel buckets, having a good, reliable, sturdy bucket just can't be beat! In our experience, we haven't had a leak from any of our Behrens products, but if you encounter leaks, a small amount of clear silicone caulk (like they use for fish aquariums) will stop the leaks once Every time we change the tube, we keep a brand new one Although we have never needed it, it is always kept on hand just in case.

For my Great Dane, I have a pet water bowl
5/5

I purchased this water bowl because my Great Dane puppy absolutely loves it. So she has enough water for the entire day, this is the perfect size. You can count on it being durable and high-quality.

In 40 months, it sprung a leak
3/5

In the past several years, I have bought several Behrens buckets of differing sizes and I think they are fairly durable and of good quality. Although I kept a bucket filled with water most days for nearly a year, it began to rust on the inside (over the past year). In terms of years and months, it lasted 3 and a half years and 4 months before it burst. Galvanized steel is expected to last for a few more years.

By the fireplace, this is an excellent place to store wood
5/5

By the fireplace, we have been storing wood in this tub. Because there are so many ridiculously stylish options on the market, it's quite expensive to purchase something specifically for this purpose, so this has been a great alternative. The frame is very well suited to wood tones and holds them firmly. a sturdy, durable and won't rust solution. Although I considered it an unsightly solution, it looks just fine next to our wooden floor and by our very expensive middle-class home. A rug from the eastern world. It might even look great painted in some interesting colors, but what's the point?.

There are leaks in the Buying another bucket from Amazon is my second purchase from Behrens
3/5

It appears that both of them leak at the seams. It would take too long to send it back and I would not be able to waste my money on another one. Spend your money on one that will hold water and not one that won't. We have contacted Behrens and they have made the buckets good for us. I am getting replacement buckets in the mail. There is a leak in their buckets, and I told them about it. A member of their quality assurance department will review this.

It works very well, but its construction is questionable
4/5

I have had no issues with this pail so far. The water collected from my shower is used to fill my water cup while it is heating It is for my garden that I use the water. The water carries about two days worth of water, and it is just light enough to move into my larger I think it was glued together with hot glue, which is a bit concerning, but so far it hasn't had any negative effects on the bucket's functionality.

My current situation is that I got this after the fifth day of burning and cleared out enough coal and ash to make it bearable
5/5

It gets really cold during real winter months, so I use my wood stove. Over the past week, it has been freezing and below zero A couple of weeks ago the temperature was below freezing and the coal pile was starting to get large enough to pose a challenge to My current situation is that I got this after the fifth day of burning and cleared out enough coal and ash to make it bearable. This is the first time I've bought it and I'm very happy to have it in my hands.
