What's the shipping weight on those?

[Takaaco78]

i just finished looking throught the rest of the site and that have everything from ammo cans to 4,15,55,275 gallon drums in metal and plastic, milk crates and all kinds of storage bins...

[KYZHunters]

I use these on my farm and they are outstanding. I've had them freeze solid and not bust, but the fill hole is large enough to get a plastic-safe tank heater through.
At $60 bucks (already cleaned) they are fantastic deal. The 2" valve that comes on them is worth about $20 new. Thanks for running this down Takaaco78.

I just called them, the minimum shipping quantity is a truckload. So you have to pick up in store for anything less.

Minimum $130.00 in California for those. I am looking for a couple right now...

[Blacksmith]

That's a steal. Too bad they are 6500 miles away.

[Redemption]

Sweet, I can't wait to go.
Great find, thanks.
Oh and just to clarify they only take cash or checks.

I would love some of these for my house in SC too. A group buy sounds good to me.

I just looked through the rest of the site, they have barrels, crates and water jugs too! I am making my Christmas list lol.. Do they sit on the ground or do you need some sort of platform to put them on? Can they go on a cement pad since they have that wire cage around them?

[johnniewalker]

I think the big tanks sit nicely on a pallet.

[vahtryn]

I've been wanting to get one of these for awhile now. Not for water storage but to begin my experimentation with aquaponics. I believe I can build a bed and a fish tank out of one of these and use a small solar water pump to keep things operational through a timer. That's a project for the spring. So I guess in Feb or so I'll be buying one and cutting it up. Just gotta figure out the best location in my tiny ass yard.

[Takaaco78]

x3 55 gallon steel drums w/lids
x1 55 gallon poly pickle drum w/screw top lid

[KYZHunters]

Sweet haul. Thanks for stopping by with the lovely and gracious Mrs. Takaaco78 on the way home. It was good seeing you again, hope to see you guys soon,

[hangfire]

Thinking one of you KY folks could make a nice side business as a middleman to the rest of us poor saps from far away

[Paladin1]

Damn, if I had the room! Someday I will, but for now I have 55drums.

That's a great score.

[JakkSchitt]

How did you haul all of that home? Did you need two pick up trucks? I just looked it up on mapquest and its over 7 hours from me. I am NE of Columbia SC.

[cheekymcgee]

Damn, I'd love to get my hands on some of those! Especially at that price. Nice haul indeed.

i put it all on my 14 foot trailer , i used to be a flatbed trucker so you just have to know how to stack (and play tetris)

For everyone drooling on these deals, look on the appropriate craigslist for your AO; I found a place selling the 275G containers for 70$ in Longmont, CO. Here's the link:

Do a search for "275 gallon" on the 'for sale' section. Can probably find these anywhere, they're fairly common use.
