Square Bucket

#1 Post by MAIL MAN »

I'm currently working on a project for the club and need one of those square buckets. I need to know what size they are at the bottom and if it will work I will trade someone a regular 5 gallon bucket for a square one. If you have one please measure it at the bottom and post the size below.

The kitty litter buckets I use not really square but more rectangle are 10"X8.5" on the bottom and 9"X11.25" on the top if this helps :D

After checking the size of the square bucket it doesn't work well so I decided to go a different route. I found this nice piece of punch plate at the local department store. It has 1/8" holes and is about 1/16" thick. The part I am trying to make only needs to be 10% open to slow the flow of water. This calculated to about 11% so it should work nicely.
