V-Plast 7L Stable Bucket with Litre Scale
Description
V-Plast 7 Litre Stable Bucket with Integrated Litre Scale
The V-Plast Stable Bucket is a 7 litre moulded LD/PE bucket with a litre scale built into the inside wall, so feed, water and supplements can be measured accurately without a separate jug. It is designed for horse owners, grooms and yard staff who want consistent portions and a light, easy-to-handle bucket for daily stable routines.
At 255 mm across the top, 185 mm at the base and 230 mm tall, it is best for single feeds, stable water, soaking small amounts of forage, carrying grooming kit or general yard and garden jobs. The tapered shape drops neatly into standard bucket holders, including those fitted in calf boxes, and the ten-colour range makes it easy to colour-code by horse or by task.

FAQ
How much does the V-Plast Stable Bucket hold?
It holds 7 litres, with an integrated litre scale moulded into the inside so you can measure smaller quantities accurately.
Is 7 litres big enough for a horse's water in the stable?
Seven litres suits a single feed or a top-up of water and is easy to lift and refill. For a horse left in overnight, most yards use several buckets or a larger container and refill regularly.
What is the bucket made from?
It is moulded from LD/PE, a lightweight and durable plastic, and weighs 500 g empty.
Will it fit a standard bucket holder?
The tapered shape, 255 mm top diameter and 230 mm height are designed to sit in bucket holders, including those used in calf boxes. Measure your holder's internal diameter before ordering if it is a non-standard fitting.
Can I use it for anything other than feed?
Yes. It works well for water, grooming brushes and sponges, washing down, soaking small amounts of forage, and general yard or garden tasks.
How do I clean it?
Rinse after use and wash with warm water and a mild detergent, then leave to drain and dry before stacking. Avoid prolonged direct sunlight in storage to help maintain the colour.
