A plastic drum is a kind of top moving container which is round with a top heavy plastic. It seem like a large bucket, but it really can do so much more! These drums are really cool for people who want to save money, save the earth and fix a lot of different problems. Here are five awesome and clever things that people do with a large plastic barrel!
That’s right — on hot, dry summer days, a giant plastic barrel saves water! People can leave the drum outside on rainy days. The drum collects rainwater that spills off the roof. Every drop of water is precious, and this water doesn't go to waste! People can use it instead to water their plants, wash their car or clean things outside. When we are further apart from the water that can no longer serve us, there is an opportunity to make it useful again.
Picture converting a large plastic barrel into a picturesque garden area! You do is fill up the drum with good dirt and plant pretty much anything. Looking to grow some delicious tomatoes? Is that not enough to put to rest some rather pretty flowers? Maybe some herbs for cooking? An ordinary plastic drum could turn into a plant’s speical home. It’s also great for folks who don’t have a lot of yard space, but still want to cultivate stuff.
Colossal plastic barrels are fantastic trash gatherers. They can contain a large amount of trash without creating a mess. This ensures neighborhoods, yards and streets remain clean. And once the drum is full people can dump the garbage at the proper location. It's like a giant assistant who makes sure things stay organized!
Got garden tools? Rakes, shovels, watering cans and other outdoor equipment deserve a secure home. These can be stored to hire out, if you want to make a bit of extra cash, or spare tools can be stored nicely and protected from rain and sun in a big plastic drum, simply put all your tools away and they will be waiting and dry for when you need them. They help keep your garden shed clean, organized, and tidy — sort of like a mini garage for your garden tools!
There are tons of fun ways big plastic drums can be used by people who love to make things! Bird houses are some of the more common things made from them. Some keep them as toy boxes or planters. The kids and adult can use imagination to create something new and wow.
Container organisations like these drums are superheros! They are heavy-duty and can take on hard work. Rain, sun or wind – these drums can take it all. They don’t shatter, which makes them super handy for all sorts of tasks.
