The 5 gal buckets hold up for a long time but the wider crates would make for a much more comfortable seat! My husband sometimes uses a recycle bin as a stool when working in the garage, but I don't think the county would appreciate me prettying up one of their containers for use as a garden stool ... although it is meant for recycling and I would be recycling it. I even have some weather resistant fabric left over from when we recovered old rattan patio furniture a few years ago that I could use to make a nice, cushy seat cushion for my stool. :whistling:

The only thing is recycle bins are a bit too short for me ... I'd prefer something just a tad taller so I need to think of recycling something else or find one of those metal milk crates!!
