How's the quality? Are they as rugged and sturdy as buckets from Hydrofarm?

I do turtle rescue and we often use our buckets to sit on. Is this strong enough that you can flip over and sit on it without it being damaged? For say someone 100-150 pounds?

I am happy with the quality. They are sturdy and rugged as a 5 gallon pail you would purchase at a box store. These are 3.5 gallon and black for light block. The box store 5 gallon lid at a box store fits perfectly. I used them for a hydroponic "dutch bucket" system. The cost is significantly less. I will purchase again to expand my growing.

I haven't had any experience with the buckets from hydro farm, but I think that these buckets are very sturdy. I am using them for growing plants and have drilled holes in them. They remind me of the 5 gallon buckets that paint comes in, thick and sturdy.

Yes! I think they are very nice quality. I used one (the larger) for a tool bag at work and the other I am still considering. I am very happy with this purchase!

I have had no issue with them at all. They are heavy duty and should last as long as you need them.

Hi Suryeah, Oh yes, they are super sturdy. Cascading plants are very lovely as well. The only small problem is make sure the weight (soil and plants) are evenly distributed. I have fuchsias in mine and tinkerbells. Just lovely windchimes

I've had them about a month. Like the comments below, they are not heavy duty, but they are made pretty well. I use them when I ride 4 wheelers on the weekend. We ride in the woods and mud. I've been knee deep in mud and they haven't leaked yet. Sticks and briars hit them all the time and they haven't picked or torn yet. The best way I can describe the fabric above the boot is a silky nylon, medium thickness. I don't worry about abusing them with what I use them for, but you might with beaver dam busting.

We've taken them on rivers - no problem at all. It's very durable, even if dragged over shallow rapids.

They worked very well for me, they are sturdy, they attached to my brick house well and they have a trough in the bottom to retain water so I d o not have to water the plants frequently. I thought they were a good buy at the price and I do not like to waste money.

I haven't used them enough to tell about durability. They look and feel like they're made very well. One of mine had a casting flaw on the tapered hose seat but it doesn't leak.

I bought them at the first of spring. One arrived crushed. The other intact. They replaced the crushed one. I straightened it out and caulked it and use it for shallow plants....and all are pretty tough. I'm guessing these are going to last me at least two or three seasons, if not more. The color may fade in the sun, but again...the plastic is tough. They don't work like they say, though. That nifty water pipe system is crap. I water with a hose every few days, and it does tent to do pretty good. I would rebuy or recommend for the purpose(carrots and herbs), and if put up out of the ice, I believe these will store well.

I would say yes, they are sturdy enough. I use them as bins for our shoes in our mud room and they've taken quite a beating and have held up nicely.

yes. I bought them about two months ago and they're amazing. I've used them to cut weeds wooden planks and to put them to the test sheet metal and they are still Sharp. they may be a little cheaply made but I enjoy them and would recommend them to anyone. So to answer your question, yes they are very durable.

If it is a standard size bucket, I can't see why they wouldn't work. I'm extremely happy with the quality and ease of installation. I've used to pick up big/heavy pieces of concrete, stumps, trees, etc. and they worked great.

That's a fair question. I did buy the version with the buckets. I have found it difficult to pull lids off of other 5 gallon pails. One would have been enough, but I liked the hole all set for the gasket and hex bolts. I have yet to use the supplied wheels. With woodworking and drywall repair I fine the Oneida system a real value. Good luck!

Yes, they are really sturdy. The mesh is a metal mesh, not a flimsy nylon one.

These are pretty sturdy. I bought a set for my parents approx. 2 yrs ago. They still look brand new. You should be able to get a few years even if the kids are hard on them. These are Commercial Grade. Good luck.

They are plenty sturdy for most light-to-medium duty activities. They are not "tow bars" but they have not shown any sign of failure or fatigue under everyday use on my 2006 Ram 1500 SLT.
