FAQs

Is the Gorilla Tub truly safe for food contact?

Yes, the Gorilla Tub (specifically the Blue color, and other non-Black, Green, or Yellow variants) is produced using food-grade LDPE and is BPA-free, making it suitable for storing and preparing food. Always wash thoroughly before first use with food.

Can I use this tub to mix cement or other construction materials?

Absolutely. Its flexible and durable design makes it ideal for mixing cement, plaster, or other building materials. The ribbed sides ensure strength, and the flexibility aids in emptying hardened contents.

What makes the 'golf ball handles' special?

The golf ball handles are designed with small indentations that provide an enhanced grip, making the tub easier and more comfortable to carry, even when full and heavy. This ergonomic design reduces strain on your hands.

How shallow is the 'shallow' design, and what are its benefits?

The 'shallow' design refers to its height-to-width ratio, making it wider and lower than standard tubs. This is beneficial for tasks like mixing, scooping materials, sweeping debris into it, or when you need easier access to contents without reaching deep down.

Is it UV resistant, can it be left in direct sunlight?

Yes, the Gorilla Tub is weather-resistant, which includes resistance to UV exposure. You can safely leave it in direct sunlight without significant degradation of the material, though extreme prolonged exposure to harsh elements over many years might eventually cause some fading.

What is LDPE, and why is it used?

LDPE stands for Low-Density Polyethylene, a type of plastic known for its flexibility, durability, and chemical resistance. It's used for Gorilla Tubs because it allows the tub to be flexible yet strong, weather-resistant, and, in most colors, food-safe and BPA-free.

Troubleshooting

Tub is difficult to clean after storing sticky substances.

For sticky residues like mud or feed, pre-soak the tub with water to loosen the material. Then, use a stiff brush with warm soapy water. The flexible nature of the tub also allows you to flex it slightly to dislodge dried-on materials.

Handles feel uncomfortable when carrying very heavy, sharp-edged items.

While the golf ball handles are reinforced, consider wearing gloves for added comfort and grip when handling exceptionally heavy or awkward loads. For very sharp items, use a protective liner to prevent potential abrasions to the tub interior.

Tub seems to lose its original shape over time if stored improperly.

To maintain its optimal shape, avoid storing the tub with heavy objects resting on its rim for extended periods, especially in warm conditions. When empty, stacking them neatly or storing them upright can help preserve their form.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Highly versatile for various tasks (garden, home, pets, food)
  • Extremely durable and long-lasting with reinforced design
  • Easy to carry heavy loads comfortably with reinforced golf ball handles
  • Simple to empty and clean due to chamfered edges and flexible material
  • Food-grade material (most colors) adds safety and utility for food and animal use
  • Weather-resistant for both indoor and outdoor use

Cons

  • Specific colors (Black, Green, Yellow) are not BPA-free, limiting food-grade use for those variants
  • Shallow design might not be ideal for very deep storage requirements or tall items

Setup

Your Gorilla Tub requires no assembly or setup. Simply unpackage and it's ready for immediate use.

Compatibility

This tub is highly compatible with a wide range of materials and environments. It's suitable for various solids (soil, sand, feed, toys, laundry) and liquids (water, cleaning solutions). Its food-grade LDPE construction (for Blue, and other non-Black, Green, or Yellow variants) makes it compatible with food items, ensuring safe storage and preparation. It is also designed to be horse and pet friendly, ideal for stable duties or pet care. It is weather-resistant, compatible with both indoor and outdoor conditions.

Care

To clean your Gorilla Tub, simply rinse it with water and mild soap. Its non-porous surface makes it easy to wipe clean. Avoid using abrasive scrubbers or harsh chemical cleaners that could potentially damage the plastic. For stubborn dirt, a soft brush can be used. Ensure it's dry before storing if not in immediate use to prevent mold or mildew, especially if storing food items.
