feed bins, or dustbins ...

[madabout2]

about to go and buy one or the other ...
which do you prefer - pros an cons please!

Depends on the scale you are feeding - bins are great as they are easy to move around etc, bins are great if you feed several horses. I prefer metal over plastic - mice rats etc can't chew through metal.

Bins are good as they are cheap and easy to move and clean out. Also good if you're short as you can nreach the bottom!

I have always used dustbins, but after a few years they have all got chewed up quite a bit. I actually fell in to a metal feed bin once trying to get to the last bit at the bottom.

Feed Bins, you can get more then just Feed in them!

I have a regular plastic bin, cheap enough and very handy!

I have a wheely bin,like you get outside your house if you know what i mean,it was a bit more expensive but its easier to move with the wheels with food in and i have a weak back so got it for that reason,it holds a good amount too,really recommend them

I've got 6 thick plastic dustbins with lids that animals can't get off. Never had any problems with them.

Wheelie bin for Hi FI (you can just fit a new bag in if you squish it down). Plastic bins for rest, easy to clean and move. Never had a problem with rats/mice chewing through them.

I use old chest freezers. Vermin proof and they hold several bags each. They were free too (non-working ones).

Black dustbins for me - lasted me years - easy to wash out, have never had a problem with mice/rats and easy for me to move around the feed room if I need to. Cheap as well - what more could you ask for!

We've got a big metal feed bin with two compartments, which we bought second hand. One side takes 3 bags of Alfa A easily.
