| watch out for those tho they have a tendency to crack, i know bc barns use them for cleaning out stalls and they dont last that long. even the ones that are thick and strong doesnt last that long. |

| Yeah used mine to season some wood and rocks.....bottom cracked. I did leave it outside during this period so sun might have weakened the plastic a bit |

| My experience is if you leave it out in the sun, it will weaken the plastic and make it brittle
If it is left inside, it will last a long time |

| I left my bucket in my horse trailer and I cracked on me wen I was at a horse show and the ones at the barn were always in the barn so they never were in the sun but would break so easily. Now the gator was fun to drive and the tractors and so on |
