The pot planter is not your typical bucket. This tub is huge at 17.5 gallons of capacity. Take on big jobs such as mopping large areas or moving larger amounts of liquids or supplies around. The pot planter is made of thick polyethylene plastic that's both BPA-free and for contact with edibles. Not only does this mean it's strong & durable but incredibly safe for everyone from small children to pets. Because of its large carrying capacity, two large handles are molded into the top rim so you can easily grasp and lift or drag the bucket around. This bucket is simple but its uses are endless: Store supplies or cargo for a trip, use as a storage bucket around the house, keep toys & crafts organized, feed & water livestock or larger pets, use on cleaning and maintenance projects or for whatever job you need a giant storage tub. The walls of the storage bucket are also very smooth to prevent sticking which is a big plus when working with loose materials such as soil or when removing root vegetables when it's a planter.
