Very ingenious idea Jake with the removable doors for the IBC totes.
I think this is the best idea I've seen yet for modifying these totes.
Thanks! Works really well!
Hey, brother. I think your ideas are really good. It obviously works. So congratulations! Chip
That’s a slick way to do it!!
I like it!! 👊🏻
Thanks! Works pretty well so far
Hey Jake. I love seeing the different ways to utilize totes. My front panels are a bit different but I think I’ll try your rotating latch method. I like it!
It’s amazing how many different kinds of totes there are
Great idea Chris 🤜
Always enjoy your content Jake!
Nice idea with the totes!
Thank you!
I think that’s the best tote modification I’ve seen yet . Once I get a free second I’m definitely going to try that on a few .
Thanks! Pretty cheap and easy to make and works really well!
Great video. I ❤it when a plan comes together. Maybe a row of stretch wrap in the middle of the hole would help. I know you have to buy the wrap but just a thought. You’ll get it figured & then you’re off to the races. Keep the videos coming we enjoy them. Enjoy your day.
Thanks for watching!
Great idea with that side panel
Nice innovation, Jake. The only alternative I can think of is to bend the lower vertical bars- one in, one out, one in, one out and secure the top on the outside with a ratchet strap. The only thing that will save you though is drilling and the small expense of nuts, bolts and washers. I like your design though. Speaking of Father’s Day…. Time to get busy, son! 😂
I’ve tried bending the bottom posts and it’s just not very sturdy, the ratchet strap holds it in place but not as well as this design. 😂
Nice innovation 👍 great job and good video. I'm sure your design will help others. Can't wait to see how this will evolve from the suggestions and comments
Thanks! Works really well!
Great video. I like this better than using bailing wire on them.
Thanks 👍
Jake,maybe jumper cable handles quicker release time 😮😊❤
Jake, great idea. I think I will build mine from a piece of scrap plywood and hang it on the tote. Or simply put 2 totes cut sides together and sandwich a plywood piece in between. Kiss principle... will see how it works
I’ve never tried plywood but I have sandwiched the grates in between two totes and it kind of worked!
Another tote video😅 hahaha. That’s a good idea right there.! Specially when you only have to make four or five of them RTB Firewood 👍🏻
Yep I’m thinking they will work out! The other design didn’t work for all the totes because the spacing of the tubes varies!
Like it a lot. Great idea.
Leave it on until you position it for drying.
Well that seems to work well..
Super cheap and easy to make, and you only need a few depending on how many totes you fill at a time
Great idea on the gates!! I'll have to try a couple!! Stay Hydrated and Have a Safe Day
Great idea. Reminds me of using what I already have to keep deer out of the garden.
looks to work perfectly I wouldn’t change a thing bud
Thanks working well!
That is a great idea! I will have to try it. Thank you for sharing!
Simple and efficient, way to go mm
I like it!!!
I’d say for new totes the Lambo door idea we do would be the best! However for totes that are already cut the hinge gate may be the ticket.
I’ll have to check out your lambo doors, this works pretty well for the time being
How about a over size merry go round for the your bins, that holds 8 to 10 ?
That would be cool! Unfortunately at the moment I don’t really have space for that! Or the merry go round 😂
Nice! Would be good if the top braces we all throw away could be made into some sort of doors.
I incorporated one of the braces into an earlier version of my door idea! Also used them in my firewood stand for structural support and rails for slide out shelves for my bundles!
what happens when you move the totes ? does the wood fall out ?
Occasionally, but only if I’m driving really fast or hit a big bump
Love the idea! I was thinking some welded u bolts at the bottom would be easier. At the top instead of the pipes on both sides and all that hardware, use a u-bolt facing up welded to the cage then only one bar/tube like you have to pivot and latch into the u bolt. It would allow you to lift it up and out without having to worry about the wood catching your tube latch on the inside. Just another idea but I think what you came up with will work well regardless. Nice innovative idea man. Love it!
I think I’m visualizing what you are suggesting, would definitely work well! My issue with that is having to modify each and every tote though with a u-bolt, and welding galvanized metal in general with the fumes.
I didn’t stop t think about it being galvanized. That’s a good point. If it was a couple you could wear a respirator but on as many as you need, that would definitely be a no go.
why not stack the totes 2 or 3 high to save space?
I will be doing that in the future! All of these totes are too full to stack
Your row or totes are getting long why don’t you stack them 2 or 3 high to conserve space. It looks like your rate of production will out grow your storage space.
I will be stacking in the future!
How much loose wood in a full tote ? Not quite a face cord I am sure - you must have to reduce the selling price.
Large 330 gallon totes 1/3 cord. Small 225 gallon totes 1/4 cord. I charge over $150/tote minimum.
Hey Jake. I think you have a great idea going there. Inexpensive to put together. It’s been a while since I’ve watched your channel. Like to do a sticker swap sometime. We have a sticker area and would like to get you onto the Blades of Glory. Check us out. Best idea yet on the totes.
Thanks! Super cheap and easy to make! Shoot me an email duderanchdiy1@gmail.com with your address!
Give yourself time, watch and study your design then tweek it, don't jump to conclusions, each end was stuck so there is something to change, it's a good idea but don't rush it.
kinda hard to explain, but if you leave the side piece, up & down bar. cut the bottom of it, then bend a slight offset it would act like hooks. do same on bottom of panel. then you can literally slide the panels in and out as needed. no washers! screws! or extra hardware at all.
Hey, brother. I think your ideas are really good. It obviously works. So congratulations! Chip
Thanks Chip!
