(3 for 2) Gorilla Tub® Small Shallow 15L – Sky Blue

Gorilla Tub Small Shallow 15L – Sky Blue

A 15 litre feed spread across a 39.5cm opening only 16cm deep sits in a thin layer rather than a heap, and a horse that normally bolts its hard feed has to work across the surface instead of burying its nose in one spot. That is a genuine, cheap way of slowing a fast eater without buying a specialist bowl.

Sky blue is the paler blue in the range and is the one that usually gets designated for water or clean jobs where a yard uses colour to keep things straight. It also stores flat: the Small Shallow stacks, so a row of them takes up barely more room than one.

Performance & Benefits

• Holds 15 litres in a body only 16cm deep and 39.5cm across the top, so nothing sits out of reach.
• Wide, shallow shape spreads a feed thin, which slows a horse that bolts hard feed.
• Stackable, so several store in the footprint of one.
• Food-grade LDPE, described by Red Gorilla as 100% non-toxic for animals.
• Flexible wall recovers from a hoof or a dropped tool.
• UV and frost proof, in Red Gorilla's description of the Small Shallow.

Suitable For

• Feeding a horse that eats too fast.
• Feed mixing where you need to see what you are combining.
• Hoof picking, grooming kit and clipping gear.
• Washing produce and garden work.
• It is a floor tub, not a hanging one — for a tub that hangs on a stable wall or a door, the Red Gorilla Premium Bucket is the one with a handle for it.
• Not for carrying water; the Gorilla Tub Small 14L is the deep version at a comparable capacity.

How to Use

• Set it on the floor and work straight out of it — at 16cm deep nothing sits out of reach.
• Carry it two-handed and reasonably level; the low sides mean water slops out well before the tub is full.
• Stack empties inside one another to store a set of them flat under a shelf.
• Wash in warm water with a mild detergent and turn upside down to drain; the smooth interior wipes clean.
• Flex the sides to pop out frozen water or set feed rather than banging the rim on a wall.
