I like the shower idea as that would be great for use by a pool or in emergency situations. What I noticed was that some of the uses only require the plastic tank such as the nifty little dog houses and rabbit hutch. The metal "basket" could be used as a puppy playpen for example while the tank is used to raise fish. It's cool to re-purpose, but better that neither part or component goes to waste. I think all these ideas are interesting, but we don't all need or do the same things. Most of us could use water storage, or a septic system or might need to raise food or livestock, but I like and would use the portable shower, the animal shelters, and water storage (just for hurricane season) and the duck blind or mini-office would just be cool to make. As far building composting bins, I think the plastic tank could be excluded and a layer of chicken wire be wrapped around the metal cage. The plastic might hold moisture and not allow enough air flow.
These make ideal thermal mass for those with solar or boiler hot water. Normally they hold 1000 kgs of water but if you put your hot and cold thermal exchange loops in and you can gently fill them with gravel, top up with glycol and water and you have about 4 tonnes of thermal mass. Strap polystyrene around the outside of the cage and backfill with shredded polystyrene and you're set. The glycol keeps the thing sterile and ensures good conductivity between the mass and the loop
I used them for a septic tank the tank cleaner was sure it would be bad but when I opened it for him to clean after two years of use he was blown away at how well it worked
I recently picked up a 330 myself, talked to some hazmat guys, the city water works, and a university chemistry lab. They all said it's possible to clean out some non food grade ibcs, all said 'rinse them out, air out the chemicals, use dish soap, pressure wash the sides and then you can have the water tested for potability'. The city said they'd charge a pretty penny for it but the University said it's only $15 per test they run and recommended which ones to run.
Had some buddies try this with a 5 gallon pickle bucket from McDonalds to ferment beer. Doesn't matter how much you clean plastic, it's permeable and the things absorbed will come back out. We did not enjoy the pickle beer. We drank it. But we didn't enjoy it.
We use one for a shower. You need to make sure you watch out for algae so painting it helps. Or using chlorine in like for a pool. That’s because the algae can get trapped in your instant hot water heater. We use with a small pump from the top as we are rural and haven’t found the fittings just yet. It is about a weeks worth of showers for dozens of people. And over a month for two. We use the drain water to water plants. We use rocks for filtering debris.
Generally algae doesn't grow in the dark so painting, (black), will definitely help but did you know that you can also buy black IBC tanks. Not as common, but they are available. My black ones are food grade and once held glycerine but they use them for lots of other liquid food products and syrups. I once had open topped galvanised water tanks that grew sheets of thick algae inside. Cleaned them out and put corrugated iron covers over them, and it hasn't come back in more than 20 years since the light was excluded. Black plastic tanks would also preheat your shower water in sunny weather and save on heating costs.
Baking soda & peroxide, natural pool cleaner maintain, agree black & will conduct heat not much but ehhh... I think would be great raised garden beds fill the lower half with bark, wood, the top 12 inches for good Earth, drain holes, pvc or drip hoses for conserving water, good height for older folks. So many, oh the possiblity's...
Robert Tinsley .....I've seen purchased bottled water go green if left in the sun long enough...😨 You can actually get black IBC's tho they are rare... I'm on the lookout st the mo for a couple for rainwater harvesting myself...😎
I use one to overwinter my Koi in my basement. My outdoor pond is too small for them in the winter as the pond freezes over quite a bit. It's clean and I am extremely happy with it. The fish survive nicely as I have a pump and filters.
Great idea. You should post a picture of it on Pinterest!? IF your pond was about 4' deep, all you would need to do is buy a Wallyworld fish tank heater & place the heating coil in the bottom of your Koi pond. Make sure you leave some leaves & sediment down in the bottom. They will burrow down into it, & winter over with NO PROBLEMS.
If you have access to a forklift truck IBC totes, cut access hole in side then used them for stacked storage for all kinds of stuff! If you stick with the pallet base in these type units offer mobility.The whole stack is mobil! I am going to cut access holes in several then use them as the base for a work bench!
I decided to try to make a roof rack cargo carrier with one of these. I will take pics and make a video out of it. I'm going to try to hold my tools on top of the van.
In Australia we put them on trailers fill them with water and run a little pump off them for fighting fires as they might pop up in random places during bad conditions. 1000 liters = 1 tonne most trailers handle the weight and dimensions
You can also use them as a mobile water supply to fight a small brush or grass fire around your home. Just mount one on the back of a 3/4 or one ton pick up, or flat bed truck, and plumb in into a small portable gas powered water pump, and add a reel for some hose. Make a Home made Brush fire Skid unit with one, or 2 of these totes as your water supply.
I have 5 275-gallon totes. We moved, and the new place had a leaning 8 foot tall chain link fence. I set up some totes next to it, ran wire (I had found) from tote to fence and back, pulled the fence vertical. Done.
@@brandonparsons3099 My wife wasn't so keen, lol. I eventually relocated the 5 totes to the rarely visited side yard. And then we had to pay a couple of grand to have the fence posts fixed. Such is the married life, lol.
Another way to block light that I haven't seen is wrap them in black plastic sheeting and use black duct tape for the seams. Mine look great and no algae... I think the cost to wrap was about $7/each if I remember correctly...
Water tower would be cool. If it won't freeze. You could pump water up there with western style windmill. Having a tap downstairs would always provide water by gravity. Having a controlled leak back down to the spring or other rotation would provide always fresh drinking water.
Floating dock, huge ice bin on roof for cooling, root cellar?, emergency gas in yard for when prices go down a buck, backup generator fuel(wow), ..I liked haw and spayer the best....paint ball or kids fort?

I like idea of a factory value added full tiny home septic system or tank.
I made a forklift man cage with one . Cut a doorway and a little chain and you got yourself a man cage for next to nothing instead of paying over $1000
Google on septic tanks then go to the "images" tab. There you will find ALL KINDS of illustrations on septic tank designs, internal baffles, pickups, sludge chambers, you name it!

If this is a rogue "off the books" install then of course all the above advice does not apply and just glean ideas from the google image search.
I made a no weld roof top cargo basket from the top end of an ibc cage for a 2010 ford edge we had. I paid 25dollars for the cage and spend about 30odd dollars for hardware (I reinforced the roof rails by using a t hinge as a center support point) lumbar (I used some pre cut 2by from the hardware store as crossbars) and paint (painted the cage black. I built it in a haste since our trip to Arizona was coming up quick. We drove from central California to both AZ and Texas without incident. Both trips were loaded trips but the AZ was a bit more since we went camping and I wanted to have the whole of the inside of the vehicle "freed up" I would guess I had over 200 lbs up there. I wanted to weigh our load once we got back but it didn't happen. The T hinge center support made it possible to carry that load, otherwise the the rails would of broken
I've seen the used for anti-vehicle blocks, when filled with concrete (Vibrated into the corners), Also, filled with concrete, sign post bases for many road signs & route marking venues. Adapting the lighting idea & using modern led "corn" lamps, you could give an air strip night lighting for the runway area itself. Not the approach lighting though (too much material demands being placed to do that. Take the filled with concrete option mentioned above, using the shooting hide for hunters & build blockhouse pillboxes using IBCs with hard armouring.
Having something to do with these totes is not the problem locating a cheap source of $50 or less per tote is my problem. I would like to find a direct source from the user. I'm not looking to resell I'm looking to use them in the gardening situation. Any help?
Richard Britt -- food processing plants use them. They have vegetables oil and vinegar delivered in them. I work at one and we get delivers of these containers every week.
Vanessa Robinson are you in Arkansas I hope. Would love to find a food or beverage plant around here. There are so many people I could help with the extra veggies.
Richard Britt in spring dale Arkansas at the little Debbie company store they sell these tanks. I believe they sell them for somewhere between $25-$50 each.
I liked the lights. A neighbor of mine has a forest and he sells and delivers the cut firewood like shown, offering a refund if you let him get back the cage.
I want to get 3 of this for rain water storage. I have a well. But im so tired that the iron in the water clugs the water filters often. That would be more than enough for my laundry and shower and washing. Really clean water.
Had iron in the water ,put sand in a tank that you can access, the water goes in the top ,after a while push water from the bottom access so water comes up through the sand ,fill then let it drain out ,you're left with iron scum on the top which you scoop off
With so many uses given, you'd think they'd be widely available. Just as with the blue plastic 55 gallon drums, I've never heard of or seen any for sale.
I looked for them using the words "275 gallon tank", nothing popped up. Then a "275 gallon tote" and they popped up all over. Sometimes people put them under different words. Keep looking under different words, and you'll find them.
They are also available, tho rare , in black plastic, which is much better for such apps as rainwater storage etc. as it discourages algae growth... 😎😎😎😎😎
Not sure the composting idea was that smart. Composting get extremely hot and can even start a fire, so that heat would definitely melt the plastic. Love the Aquaponics setup though. Amazing.
I was thinking we could do holed pipes or stacks of plastic pallets in there for tiny home septic solutions..one truck...roll off..done...old lady pooping in back yard. Overseas solutions..if you start the company I'm always looking for my consulting fee..half..10 percent...a jet.
i was thinking about making a planter out of one leave it intact fill it with water than build 2 foot high walls around it put rigid insulation on the outside ( furthest away from the tank / water ) and bottom of the walls fill with soil and put in your plants that need the heat as the 1000 liters of water once heated up by the sun will keep the soil warmer over night i think it would work great for colder areas for peppers melons tomatoes and so on it would also be easy to cover if frost is called for or you could make hinged roof panels to fit
Somebody out there should build a wall out of these things for their shop they could film full of water and circulate hot water with a rocket heater for heat in the winter light would go through for the summer be plenty of structure there to hold weight and if you wanted to you could cut them up and use them for storage on the inside
Film full of expandable foam or concrete for the people out there that's worried about somebody cutting a hole in their shot you could put a spicket on it on the inside for water to wash your hands if anybody wants to donate a bunch of these to me leave a comment I'll build it you'll see
@@tctime was just looking up IBC totes, and thought I'd look for their use, if you will go to freestuffCraigslistatlga, there's a company that's constantly offering for free and they have huge stacks. You are asked to wear a mask while on property.
Just because the tote previously held food products does NOT make it food grade unless professionally cleaned and sanitized to meet FDA regulations and standards - which very few sellers do. Buyer Beware - there are lots of shady people selling these claiming theirs are "FOOD GRADE SAFE" - when they have not been cleaned or have held chemicals.
@@Pepper5655 In reality, it really don't matter about an emblem or a number, simply because someone could have bought some of these totes and stored a pesticide or herbicide in them then decided they didnt need 'em anymore, rinsed them out and resold 'em. Now if you went straight to the food factory and bout 'em there, then I would say they were pretty much safe. Just saying.
My idea 30 seconds in before reading comments was a shark cage. After reading the comments I noticed two other people said shark tanks. Not sure if they actually meant shark tanks or shark cage. They are two different things so my apologies if that was their idea and they just used the wrong words to describe it.
No mate, but I reken that would work. Have found though that those blue plastic 44 gallon drums stand up to the sun very well. Seem to be UV resistant and you can pick them up here for as little as $15 (about $10 US).
I made 15 calf huts this spring with them. Cut a door in them and cut a hole in the cage. Bent a hog panel around the front in a U. Worked very well. I used food grade that held grape juice, sunflower oil and molasses. Picked them up for $40 each.

If you plan on holding water (rain, etc) paint it black to keep the light out. Any light allowed to reach the held water will grow bacteria.
Water only grows bacteria if the water contains nutrients, plain water will not grow bacteria or algae.

My idea 30 seconds in before reading comments was a shark cage. After reading the comments I noticed two other people said shark tanks. Not sure if they actually meant shark tanks or shark cage. They are two different things so my apologies if that was their idea and they just used the wrong words to describe it.

john penny , great. buy don't u think mesh is a little too large. a shark 6x6" could do some damage
Kind of a large application but a beer fermenter.
Lolol!!!!! GREAT idea!!!!!
Tried using these for a few things but they just don't last long in the Aussie sun.
Have you tried painting them?
No mate, but I reken that would work. Have found though that those blue plastic 44 gallon drums stand up to the sun very well. Seem to be UV resistant and you can pick them up here for as little as $15 (about $10 US).
Made by Greif! We are very proud!
Brilliant job well done Subscribed
How much does they weight?
If painted black...hot water for hot tub or pool?
Methane generator! I have seen where they were used for taking wast and making Methane fuel!
you could also heat them up and make them into kayak outriggers
Fill them with earth and build walls for homes, warehouses, structures , etc
Fantastic. From canary island
What’s a fair price for these totes?
Atlantis block floating dock?
yes any ideas for the build?
Wonderful
JUST AWESOME Foisy!!!
I built an underground bunker with 6 of them
It also used as biogas digester..
Nice!
Calf hut
I made 15 calf huts this spring with them. Cut a door in them and cut a hole in the cage. Bent a hog panel around the front in a U. Worked very well. I used food grade that held grape juice, sunflower oil and molasses. Picked them up for $40 each.
Awesome thank you
Outstanding!
Garden drip irrigation!
Where did you buy yours an how much was shiping
Got mine local from a guy on Craigslist
Remove plastic bladder cover with wood cut a big door put stainless shelves in. Add an adjustable chimney and boom a smoker. 🙄🙄 Maybe double stack.
We used them for a bio digester
Where can I buy an used one in Brisbane?
lots of places- look on Gumtree
We bought two and discovered they had almost 4 in of old paint in bottom. UGH.
