Where to buy Orange Buckets

[allamericantrade]

Cones are a dime a dozen sold by multiple suppliers and can be bought anywhere. Does any one know where one can purchase the big trashcan like orange bucket like cones used on the side of the road?

hey no problem glad I could help. It took me seconds so there might be better pricing out there. I just used google images because I knew what you were describing just not the name. Sometimes google images works faster than searching for something. Good luck!!

Watch your size on them, the difference in a couple of inches can almost double your shipping cost.

The bigger the better. I have a customer with a parking lot light that was hit and went down in the middle of his lot. he had an incedent with the pillar being hit by another customer and having the pole made is 5-6 weeks. The best remedy I could come up with is putting one of the big barrels over it. It wasn't an issue with a 20' long pole on top but the base is now 30" high and easilly missed by vehicles parking in the lot.

I wouldn't put the barrel OVER it.. People tend to think they can move them with their car.. next thing is some kid is gonna go "OH LOOK A BARREL" and smash in to it at 40mph..

^^^ Would teach them a lesson though, wouldn't it?

Heard a story once who was upset at kids running over his trash cans. He took a dishwasher box and filled it with concrete and it totalled the kids car. Probrably one of those urban legends but its a good one. I was even thinking of using the existing electrical connection to wire in a temporary light bulb holder and installing a low wattage red light in its place.

Use 4- 5 gallon buckets with concrete and a pole about 5 feet high and get crime scene tape or caution tape to fence it in.$40-$ 60 bucks tops

Yeah - I agree with ThinkRight...That or else use some delineators (3' - 4' long orange traffic posts - There are what we use when we setup our crane) with "Danger" tape stretched across.....
