Heavy-Duty Rubber Feed Tub — Flexible 15 Gallon Pan
Product description
What you receive: a single heavy-duty rubber tub built for feeding and watering duties. The item is made from thick, corded rubber designed to resist crushing and cracking, so it retains its form even after repeated use.
Material and durability: the molded rubber construction is described as freeze-proof and flexible, allowing the pan to bend rather than fracture in cold conditions. Its corded composition helps it spring back after pressure or impact, making it suitable around hooves, paws, and general outdoor wear.
Cleaning and care: the smooth rubber surface is straightforward to hose off, scrub, and sanitize. Because of the material’s resilience the pan maintains shape and function following frequent washing and continuous use.
Intended uses: this pan works well indoors or outdoors — from feed and water for house pets and small livestock to yard tasks and makeshift water features. Its flexibility also makes it handy for nesting or as a protective buffer in installations.
Available sizes: offered in multiple capacities to match different needs — 2 quart, 4 quart, 3 gallon, 6.5 gallon, 8 quart, and 15 gallon options are available so you can pick the right volume for animals or projects.
Pros
- Durable corded rubber resists crushing and cracking
- Flexible and freeze-resistant for outdoor use
- Easy to clean and retains shape after use
Cons
- Strong rubber odor initially
- Can become stiffer in very cold weather
- Smell may take time to dissipate outdoors
VerdictA durable, flexible rubber feed pan that holds up to rough handling and temperature swings. It’s simple to maintain and suits a range of chores from animal feeding to water features. Expect a strong rubber odor at first, but many users report long-term toughness and reliable shape retention. Good choice if you need a resilient, multifunctional tub for animals or yard work.

Birds prefer this
I sunk one into the ground as a small pool and birds now use it more than the old birdbath.

Works well for horse grain though a touch small
Bought these for summer feed use. They stand up to horses stepping on them and still look solid after heavy use.

Perfect for the job — but beware the smell
Great heavy rubber construction and sturdy. Unfortunately it arrived with a very strong chemical-like odor. I’ll air it out for a while; otherwise it fits my application perfectly.

Terrible odor, size is the only plus
The smell never left despite cleaning and baking soda. Animals refused to drink from it in high heat.

Handy and strong for pasture use
Good simple watering tub. I use it for deer and other pasture animals — very durable.

Survives aggressive chewers
Has held up to three huskies for months. Much more durable than other chew-proof items that failed quickly.

Smelly and a bit expensive — check local options first
I found a similar tub locally for less. The main drawback is the persistent rubber odor that only faded after months outdoors.

Too foul-smelling for food use
Emits a tar-like odor that washing didn’t remove. I won’t feed my hens from it for fear of contamination.

Built to last
Should last years and cleans up easily with a scrub pad. Gets firmer in winter but still flexible enough to avoid breaking.

Great for chicken water in winter
We use these as non-heated winter waterers. Ice pops out easily and the material seems long-lasting.

Excellent for ponies
Searched long for a small rubber bowl for my pony who stands on her feed. These compress and spring back perfectly.
