Please note that the handle on all medium size trugs differs from those on the small and large sizes. The new handles are not as smooth and rounded as the other two sizes. Flexible, versatile carriers for the garden with dozens of uses around the home.
Available in 3 sizes:
SMALL-11" high x 14" rim diameter, 25 liters, 6.6 gallons capacity
MEDIUM-13" high x 17" rim diameter, 40 liters, 10.5 gallons capacity
LARGE-12" high x 21" rim diameter, 55 liters, 14.5 gallons capacity
They're black and tough, but light and easy to carry. Made from 100% recycled polyethylene, they're as hardwearing as a car tire. Unaffected by freezing cold or boiling water.
Use Trug-Tubs for weeding and pruning-they stand upright reliably. Then grab both handles with one hand for easy carrying. Use them for carrying tools and mixing potting soils. They'll even carry liquids without splashing and you can pour from them easily. Use them for carrying firewood and as party ice buckets. Because they're so flexible, they won't dent or rust and are easy to keep clean. Made in Spain for harvesting fruit in orchards.

Awesome

The most durable useful type of container I've ever owned. I absolutely love them. Started w/ a lg and sm, then added another large, and now adding a med and extra small. There are just so many uses for them!. (I prefer the blac, thank you for offering them asn I have only been able to find the colors elsewhere
The Best there is!

I've not only ordered duplicates of all three sizes of these over the years for myself, but I've also ordered some as gifts for others. They're the strongest, most adaptable, and user-friendly and forgiving containers I've ever found. We've done everything from mix potting mixes/soil amendments and made compost teas and the like in them to mixing concrete, and after a good 10++ years they're still as durable as they were on Day #1. My husband and garden helper now have found uses for them, too, so I have to hunt them down when I'm working on one of my projects. Frankly, I like the black color and the fact that they're made from recycled tires (as I recall...), and saw one in use in a beautiful historical garden in Great Britain years ago, so I realized they knew a good garden helper when they saw one. ;--)

LOVE these trugs! I'm still using some I purchased forever ago and wanted these as gifts. One note- the medium size trug now has handles that are slightly different than the others. For my small hands they are a bit less comfortable to grip, though they do look sturdier than before. They are still rugged and will last for years.
Springtime surprise!

A gift for my daughter, the two black trugs I ordered were a hit. "I can think of so many ways to use them," she said. More are on her list.
Buy the Original

Most stores carry a trug tub that is made of thinner less durable material. The handles are thin and they break if put under enough of a load. This is the original black Trug tub made by Fiel. It is thick and durable and will last forever. Buy the original and stay happy.

I am not sure why I never bought one of these before! I purchased the smaller one and it is perfect. Buying one for my son who is a new homeowner.
the real thing

I ordered a large and small black tub trug; years ago I got a large black one and it is still in perfect condition. In years between I bought a variety of the colored ones but they break down in outside conditions, and are flimsier in construction. They have all lost handles and gotten cracked. Not the black ones. So happy to have found a source for these.

This trug was just what I was looking for. Something small to carry around as I work in the flower beds to put composting refuse in - smaller than a garbage can. Looks like it will last a long time too.

These are the best - lightweight & flexible. Perfect for many garden chores!
great black tub

I needed a receptacle for yard waste--all the sticks leaves deadheaded flowers etc. I gather while gardening, which eventually make their way to a paper landscape trash bag, but who wants that sitting on the patio? This trug/tub is attractive in a low-key way, sturdy and a good size. It is a great solution.
Love these trugs!

I bought two of these, and both my husband and I love them! We can use them for lots of things, but especially live them for weeding--so easy to carry!
Good product

Wanted to add to my. Collection of trug tubs. Useful in many ways - weeding, hauling water, esp. Good prices.
Almost great

The tubs are one of the most useful tools around. However, where you place your hands on the handles,one encounters the mold flash, where the seam between the halves of the mold are. This seam creates a very uncomfortable feeling because it is sharp and it is right where you need to grasp the handles.

I had found such trugs many years ago at Lee Valley, but recently the only kind offered are the brightly colored ones. The brightly colored ones are pretty but they deteriorate rapidly. The original ones endure, probably forever. I'm delighted to have found another source for the durable ones!

Too many uses to count. If you do any kind of outdoor gardening/yard work, you will love these. Very flexible for ease of carrying and pouring, Very tough and can withstand heavy & rough use.

These are wonderful, I wouldn't be without them, use them every day I'm in the garden: gathering weeds, loading tree & shrub trimmings, mixing compost & potting soil, carrying water, lugging rocks & gravel. Undergoing this heavy usage, my six have held up for over ten years, with handles still intact! (Whereas the colored versions have broken after a year's use.) Don't ever stop stocking these! I will continue to give them as gifts to gardener friends.

Bought one many years ago, and it's still going strong.
Trug Garden Tub
Aug 5, 2015 | By Deb Geppert
Wonderful help in the garden! I got the small (can't imagine how big the larger sizes are because the 10 gallon is plenty big!) and it's so nice to have something large enough that I don't have to stuff each handful of garden clippings into, and that's flat on the bottom and doesn't tip over easily like a bucket will. It's tough and could be used for all sorts of storage in the house, too! Would make a great, inexpensive gift for gardening friends!
Tug Trug

It is smaller and more flexible than I am used to consequently I have to pull it as opposed to push it. The real test will be later this fall as the weather gets colder.
Great Trug!

My medium-sized Trug is going to be a great thing for me and my garden. It's lightweight and really flexible. It holds a lot.

These trugs are a huge help for me. They are sturdy and last forever if you take care of them. I am in a wheelchair and I pull these trugs all over my garden.Thank you for such a good product with sturdy handles.

First purchase of these was more than 20 years ago. They're still going strong after all those years of heavy use.
