Looking for lids

21 years ago

I have lots of 55 Gal. plastic drums and could use them for feed storage if I could find lids for them at a reasonable price. The opening is 23" in diameter. Anybody have an idea of where I can find these?

I tracked down some on the internet and they are almost $20 ea. I would like to find something less pricey but something that would keep varmints out. Thanks if you can help!

Why not just cut a top from a piece of plywood, drill a hole or two, use some wire for a hinge and maybe a piece with a screw for a fastener. You could get 8 lids from one piece of plywood.

Aloha Roberta,

Cut the top and bottom off of one barrel and use them for lids for two others.

You can use the left over barrel rings for something proabably. Raised planters? Small composting rings? Kid's lawn toys? Horse toys? (Maybe the edges would be too sharp for that?)

A hui hou,
Cathy
