So is that just a drum cut down?

Yes it looks like it. They even come with an inbuilt front lip. Very clever idea and practical with plenty of room in them.

I have used the half drums for many years and still have all the originals and every 3 moths I take them out and wash them with domestos and water kill off any bugs and germs

All my boxes are metal that are home made and they are perfect and I would never go back to wood, so easy to clean and no mites

Is there no problem with the metal getting hot in the high temperatures of summer? Or are they without roofs and not very deep?
