Searching For Steel Drums For Sale

By Larry Thomas


Containers made of strong metal have many different applications and come in many various types. If you are sourcing steel drums for sale then online sites are usually a good place to find what you are looking for. Due to the diversity of the product it is essential to select the best one to fulfill your requirements.

Owing to the vast array of metal products available if can often be tricky to find the correct one for your needs. A low end barrel to use as a storage bin or to incinerate garbage can be found for approximately 40 dollars. A larger drum of a higher specification that is going to be used for storing pharmaceuticals or edible goods with a 50 gallon capacity will be approx 800 dollars.

Many different materials are also used in the manufacture of metal containers and barrels. For the lower grade items then mild steel will be used to make a cheap but functional container. The high end one that must conform to UN standards will be made from top quality stainless steel and this will be reflected in the price.

With so many options available when browsing an internet site it is important that some care is taken when selecting the right product. The lower priced items are perfectly acceptable for containers that will only be used occasionally. If more use is required or toxic chemicals or raw foods are to be stored then a higher grade of the appropriate standard will be needed to maintain a safe storage environment.

There are of course many other uses for these steel containers such as garden cookers or ovens and waste bins for incinerating trash. Any drum that is going to be used to hold fire or heat should be of the best quality you can afford as it will last longer. Some second hand barrels may be used as incinerators or re-made into a barbeque, and this way of recycling is a money saver and good for the environment.

Since the 1940's one of the main uses for these products has been to turn them into steel pan drums to make music with. A new drum can easily be tempered and tuned into a musical instrument that will give years of use. The finish and material used in these drums is not crucial but an undamaged or unused container is preferable.

A large number of musical instrument stores and web companies will either sell a ready made drum or turn a barrel into your required model. These steel pan instruments are usually decorated with bright color schemes or presented in a mirrored finish. Many options are available and will vary in price according to which key they are tuned to and how well they are made.

Whether you are buying drums online or from a warehouse or store, transportation needs some thought. A truck to transport large drums may need to be sourced unless you have your own transport. If ordering online then bear in mind that shipping costs will be added to the final total of the order and could take a few days to arrive.
