In my circumstance I liked the halved tote idea for two reasons. The first, mainly the capacity of our little tractor. The second is that I had made our back deck so that I can set a half pallet up there comfortably to fill the wood box. Seeing as though we most years don't go through a cord of wood, it should work for us. I went to the 25$ a tote guy a couple years back and strapped six in the 5x10 trailer thinking that that I could easily sell some if I didn't use them. Four of the six I see have the full metal bottom and unbolt from the base. No bladders with mine. I've added enough soil behind the shop over the last few years to either build a loafing shed or buy one from the carport people for the riders, tractor implements and firewood. The bladder roof is a great idea though.
We did aquaponics awhile back and used a submerged IBC for a fish tank. Fortunately there was a guy who used his old building in the warehouse district for barrels, IBCs, etc - all kings of useful and hard to find at the time things. We still have many barrels left. He used to keep the ones clean and labels on so you could see what was in the totes. A good find for not lots of money back then. He's prolly dead and gone. Now there has been another business set up outside of town that somewhat caters to the preppers and such. I see that they get a 199$, since a know ya price out of the IBCs w/ tanks.
