Hi folks. We are looking to squeeze two stacked water bins into a space that is 24" wide. In the past we used USPlastic 75 gallon bins - new place can't fit them. Does anyone have experience with these or an alternate recommendation?

thanks!

I don’t have any experience with them, but just looking at them I see a couple of issues. It comes with a metal spigot. You would need to remove that and replace it with something non metallic or it would just corrode in the salt water.

Additionally it looks like the lid that you would use to fill it is on the top... and it gets covered when you stack one bin on top of another. You might be able to install additional bulkheads on the side, but it seems like accessing the bins to add salt to the water or to clean them would be difficult.
 
What are your space limitations in all three dimensions?
