Anyone got or know where I could get a 55 gallon galvanized barrel, new or used, as long as it holds water & won't rust. Can't use poly.

Not sure about Galvainzed, but you can get Stainless Drums Mcmaster has them satrting at 677 for 304SS..

fishpart. could you decode the numbers, is it a phone # ? Where are the located?

McMaster = Macmaster-Carr supply catalogue

677 = price

304SS = grade of stainless steel

Why does it have to be galvy.....Whats wrong with plastic if its just for holding water (eel tank??)

Dad, I'm a mason, Use it for water on the job, strap a barrel heater to the outside so it won't ice up, plastic melts, steel rusts.

Clogs, Thanks for decoding, stainless is to rich for me.

How about galv. trash cans available at home depot or your local hardware store.

Ahh, OK. that makes sense.....i was thinking it was fishing related

jbuck, they leak and grow legs

Dad, thought maybe some commercial guy may have one, so indirectly, its fishin related.

you can get a stainless drum rolled out and welded for less than buying a 55 gallon drum-
there is also a place in pawtucket that deals in used drums and i am positive they have stainless ones, but I completel forget the name of the business... :huh:
