What do you store your feed in?

[AZ RT89A]

I'm looking for something to store some bulk amounts of feed, around 50-100lbs worth. I was just going to use a kitchen trash bin out in my shed but I figured with the amount of humidity we get that it may not work so well. What is everyone here using? I'd prefer something tall vs long so it wont take up as much room.

I use 30 gallon Galvanized cans. They can hold almost three bags of feed. I store all my feeds in them.

Me, too. They also keep squirrels and/or rodents out.

We also use a 30 gallon galvanized metal trash can. With a tight fitting lid, it not only keeps critters out, but keeps most of the moisture of humidity out as well. Keep it out of direct precipitation and direct sun. Ideal location would be in a cool and dark basement, next best would be in a garage and next best on the north side of a building protected by the eave of the roof.

I really like these 60 lb containers I got on Amazon. They are waterproof and critter proof. They easily hold a 50lb bag of feed and have spare room to throw in a few small bags of freeze dried worms and such. I use one for 50 lbs of feed and the other one has calcium shells and smaller bags of grit and scratch.

I liked them so much I ended up getting half a dozen 40lb containers for flour and rice in my pantry.

Nifty, aart. I'm stealing your idea for dividing my feed & scratch! Thanks
