Steel barrel uses - need ideas

[scootr]

I got 3 nice looking 55 gallon steel barrels from the neighbor. I needed one to make a weight addition to my landplane for scraping weeds on hard ground. Any way - I ended up with 2 extra barrels that I'm looking for uses for. Unfortunately these barrels had adhesive in them - like the type you might use on floors (white) or such so they are not useable for drinking water or fuel. Ideas anybody?

Barrel for metal that is heading to recycling?

I use 55 gallon barrels on my barbed wire fence line. Filled with rock. Used where the fence line makes a sharp turn or goes up or down hill. Places where the bed rock is so close to the surface - I can't set a T-post. Spray paint them light brown. Don't stick out like a sore thumb.

BTW - poke a small hole in the barrel bottom to allow drainage - if you use it as I indicated here.

Waste oil storage until recycled or burned. Cut off the lid & store steel, wood cutoffs or burn barrel. Add framework for 3 point, fill with concrete ==> instant ballast.

You have a nice neighbor ! Some crazy high prices for used barrels on Craigslist.
