Back in 1995, when the Tubtrug® entered the UK market, this was the toughest, most resilient flexible tub available.
As popular today as it was back then, it’s manufactured from a thick, non-toxic grade of rubberised plastic, featuring ribbed sides for additional strength, and easy grab, eyelet handles for safer handling.
It’s the flexibility of the tub that has guaranteed its success. Use it for mixing building materials, mucking out, general jobs around the garden and home, and for DIY. It’s exceptionally resistant to wear and tear and built to last!
Suitable for any indoor or outdoor job, this tub is both frost and UV resistant, so can be used in all weathers.
Originally marketed by Faulks & Cox (now Red Gorilla®), it measures height: 29cm x diameter: 38cm and weighs 0.8 kg.
Please note this tub is available in yellow, green and black.
