Feeding Bin: getting feed dry through the season
An open sack in the feed room is an invitation: for mice, for moisture and for the smell that settles in the whole room. A feeding bin with a tight lid clears all of that up in a single afternoon. Tear the sack open, pour it in, close the lid. Here you will find bins and stackable feed boxes for concentrate feed, muesli, pellets and dry food.
Store feed dry and safe from mice
Moisture is the reason muesli clumps and pellets crumble into dust. An airtight bin keeps humidity out, the feed stays fresh for longer and still smells the way it should after weeks. The Kerbl feed container in brown or white closes with a clip lock that seals all the way round. No mouse gets through that. This is not only about the stable: if you buy dry food for dogs and cats in a big sack, you pour it into a bin just the same and keep it clean, low in odour and ready to hand in one place. For horses it is oats, muesli and hay cobs, for small animals pellets and grain. Stored in the open, all of it draws moisture.
Choosing the right size, stacking and lock
The size follows the sack you usually buy. A bin with 80 litres in black takes a normal sack of concentrate feed in one go, so nothing stands around half full. If you have several types of feed, splitting them up beats one huge bin: the Kerbl feed box is stackable and uses the height of the room instead of the floor space. The matching lid is available separately if you add a box later. The box can be locked against theft, which helps at riding yards and shared stables. In any case look for food-safe plastic if feed stays inside longer than a few days.
Frequently asked questions
What size do I need for a 25-kilo sack?
Reckon with roughly three litres of volume per kilo of feed. For a 25-kilo sack of pellets or muesli a bin with 80 litres fits well and leaves room at the top for scooping.
Can I store dog food in a feeding bin?
Yes, and it is well worth it. Dry food for dogs and cats keeps its aroma longer in an airtight bin, and the smell of the sack stays inside instead of in the hallway.
Does the plastic have to be food-safe?
For feed that stays inside for a while, yes. Food-safe plastic gives nothing off into the feed and is also much easier to wipe out with a damp cloth.
Feeding bins for stable, feed room and store
A feeding bin costs little and saves you feed every season that would otherwise go damp or end up with the mice. Here you will find the classic bin with a lid made of food-safe plastic, among them 80 litres in black for a complete sack of concentrate feed, plus the stackable Kerbl feed box, which can be locked against theft and uses the height of the room instead of the floor space. The matching lid is available separately if you want to add one later. If you need it really tight, take the Kerbl feed container in brown or white with a clip lock: it keeps humidity out and muesli, pellets and mash fresh for longer. It works the same way across all species, whether concentrate feed for horses, pellets for small animals or dry food for dogs and cats.
