Product Information
Full details
The Red Gorilla Flexible Tub is an essential, multi-purpose utility solution designed for homeowners, gardeners, and trade professionals who need a durable vessel for heavy-duty tasks. Its primary benefit lies in its high-density, flexible construction that allows for easy carrying and pouring, though users should note that the handles, while strong, are designed for manual carrying rather than heavy-duty mechanical lifting.

FAQs
Is the Red Gorilla Tub food-safe?
No, these tubs are intended for utility and garden use and are not certified for food storage.
Can this tub be left outside in winter?
Yes, the material is weather-resistant and designed to withstand varying outdoor temperatures.
How do I clean the tub after using it for cement?
It is best to rinse the tub before the cement fully cures. If it has cured, flexing the walls will often crack the cement and allow it to be emptied out.
Is the tub chemical resistant?
While the tub is durable, it is not designed for the storage of harsh chemicals or corrosive substances.
What should I do if the handle gets a small tear?
While the handles are strong, if a tear occurs, avoid loading the tub to its maximum capacity to prevent the tear from spreading.
Troubleshooting
Stubborn debris sticking to the inner surface
Flex the sides of the tub repeatedly to loosen material, then rinse with water.
Deformation from long-term storage under heavy pressure
Gently press the tub back into its original shape; the flexible material should naturally recover over time in a warm environment.

- Easy to clean due to the flexible, smooth interior surface

Setup, Compatibility & Care
No assembly is required; the tub is ready for use immediately out of the packaging. To maintain the integrity of the plastic, avoid using sharp metal tools to scrape the inside surface, as this may cause deep gouges. For cleaning, simply rinse with a garden hose or wipe down with a damp cloth. While the material is weather-resistant, storing the tub in a cool, shaded area when not in use for extended periods will help prevent long-term color fading from UV exposure.
