55 Gallon Steel Drums


Steel drums are a staple of the shipping and manufacturing industries, but may be best known for their ability to be transformed into "steelpans," unique percussion instruments originating in Trinidad and Tobago in the early to mid 20th century, and a fantastic example of reclamation and repurposing. You can carry on the tradition and use our 55-gallon steel drums to make all kinds of unique items including smokers, feeders for horses, pigs and other livestock, patio furniture like tables and chairs, composters, grills, pet shelters and burn barrels. Upcycle them for sustainable living into rainwater capture and storage to grow plants, gardens and crops. Excellent for homesteaders and survivalists, great as trash cans and perfect for hauling, their uses are nearly endless!
