    Bus Bins?

    Just wondering if anyone has tried them or if I have stumbled on something new? They're right about the size recommended for males but I think females they would be a bit too small. Been considering them in a rack I'm designing given they're about half the price of rubbermaid.

    Those would be good subadult bins IMO

    I've had that same thought about the ones used in meat processing which are pretty much the same thing. The only downfall I see with the one I have (for meat processing) are the finger grooves in the bottom. A nice flat/mostly flat bottom is preferred. I think the weight of the plastic used would be ideal though! Nice and sturdy!

    I hate to sound like a cheap ass but I'm trying to find the lowest cost bin possible while trying to stay as close to the recommended dimensions as possible lol. And also due to the fact im going to experiment with the whole riveting water bowls thing...

    Maybe a little extra aspen would level things out a bit. The one I have has a nice lid that snaps into place too for people who use a shelf and tubs instead of a purpose built rack.

    28qt sterilite are only 4.99 at Target currently plus an extra 5% off if you have a redcard so cheaper than those especially if you have to pay shipping. I prefer being able to peak in without opening up every drawer.

    It can be used personally I am not a fan of any tubs that have groves (makes it harder to clean)

    I like my tubs to be nice and flat at the bottom.

    To me the best tubs out there (any sizes) are Vision, they are flat aND very sturdy compare to other brands.

    I've got vision tubs myself and I love them. Easy to clean and very sturdy.
