Product Information
Full details
The Stubbs Flat Sided Hanging Stable Bucket is designed for horse owners seeking a durable and practical solution for stable tasks. Its key benefit is the flat-sided design that prevents spills when carried and facilitates easy wall hanging. A potential consideration is its fixed 18-litre capacity, which may be too large for some users. This heavy-duty bucket is constructed from robust Stubbythene with a galvanised handle, featuring a stable base recess and a shape that minimizes sloshing, making it ideal for carrying water or feed.

Troubleshooting
Bucket feels unstable on the ground.
Ensure the bucket is placed on a level surface. The recessed base is designed to improve stability, but an uneven surface can still cause tipping.
Handle seems loose.
Check that the handle's attachment points to the bucket are secure. If loose, do not use the bucket for heavy loads until it can be inspected or repaired.
Difficulty hanging the bucket securely.
Ensure you are using a compatible spring hook or wall plate. The handle is shaped for specific hooks; check for obstructions or damage on the hook.
Bucket retains odors.
Rinse the bucket thoroughly with water immediately after use. For persistent odors, a diluted vinegar solution or baking soda paste can help neutralize smells. Ensure it is dried completely after cleaning.

Compatibility: The thick galvanised handle is shaped to fit standard spring hooks commonly found on wall plates in stables. The flat sides allow it to hang securely without excessive tilting.
Care:
- Cleaning: After each use, rinse the bucket thoroughly with water. For stubborn dirt or residue, use a soft brush and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could scratch the Stubbythene.
- Drying: Allow the bucket to air dry completely before storing to prevent moisture buildup.
