They make a nice stool. The buckets can become emergency toilets, just add kitty litter. Most are water proof with the lid on, mice have a time chewing them up, think storage in garage.
Or you can cut the top 6 to 8 inches off and use them as molds for pavers or stepping stones.
I've used them as planters for my garden when we lived in a rental. Put some holes in the bottom, fill them with soil, and plant! You'd be surprised how much you can grow in buckets!
Whatgood ideas! Good question! 👏
