Ive used these forever. I can get 2 years out of a pail if I put indoors in the off season. They have a larger version for a couple dollars more. https://www.fleetfarm.com/detail/behrens-12-qt-ho ... ens%20pail
Thanks, warminmn.
Those look too small for my shakings.

I'm satisfied with the size of what I'm using, just not the durability
