Hello,

I am looking for experience using a 35 gallon rectangle rubbermaid container. I am using a five gallon bucket but will be unable to attend to it for about 8-10 days. It is just one lady right now and I am thinking about moving her into this 35gallon container but my question
Has anyone used this size container filled with water? I am thinking I will use 2 (one stacked in the other) I am just concerend the sides will bow out and break. Any help would be appreciated thanks!:peace:

DO NOT STACK IT!!!! I've got the 45 gall. res and it holds together fine(you have to squeez the sides a bit to get the lid on)....but if I were to stack it......one wet floor.

shenegen, what I mean is put one inside the other so that it is more sturdy, so there would be 2 containers but only one would have water in it while the other is holding the one...

but you use a regular 45 gallon rubbermaid container and have no problems?

Ohhhh I got ya. It will hold fine as long as you don't fill it up to the top. I have my water level a few inches below the top. Yes mine holds fine....I don't think its the cheapest one they make though...and its sturdy enough though. I got mine at home depot.
