Nice, heavy- duty plastic barrels; the local farm Co-op sells propionic acid (1 carbon up from acetic acid-vinegar) in 55 gal flat sided black plastic barrels. A few years ago they charged $28 deposit for the barrel. I brought 2, cleaned them out with sodium bicarbonate and used them to haul water. (Propionic acid is used to acidify stored grain in order to prevent fungus growing) The flat sides are nice and they are thick walled. The only down side would be the black color if stored in the sun. I suppose an appropiate paint and/or shade could fix that. Of course ,appropiate labels would have to be afixed.
