I'm not sure what you guys use to store your grains, but i found these 40lb Vittles Vaults at US Plastics for $16.70 each ($18.56 -10% over qty 4). They are air tight, stackable and way cheaper than Petco.

Grain Storage

Re: Grain Storage
I usually just use 5 gallon buckets from Home Depot to store my grain, but these look cool. How much grain can you get into one? "40 lbs+" is a strange way to measure volume. Also, the opening on top looks a little narrow, how easy is it to get the grain out?

Re: Grain Storage
"Seed 60+ lbs" for the 40# container so perhaps it holds an entire sack of grain? Do tell Tim - this is an awesome find if it does. It's a good find either way. I'll probably order a few for grain AND dog food.

Mine will be here tomorrow, so I can't confirm. But, I've heard that a 50# bag fits no problem.Rezzin wrote:"Seed 60+ lbs" for the 40# container so perhaps it holds an entire sack of grain?
Also, it opens in two stages, so if the small one doesn't do it for you, crack open the big one and have a real party.

Re: Grain Storage
I was using one of those for dog food and they were like $40 at Petco.
I have another type of pet-food storage container I use and I also use 5-G buckets. The Vittles Vaults are really nice though.
