Today I'm painting some IBC totes for an addition to my rainwater harvesting wildlife waterer set up. In the video I'll show how I remove the IBC tote from the cage, prep it for paint, paint it, etc,. This is important to help reduce algae growth as well as protecting the plastic from UV sun damage.
NOTE: An alternative and perhaps a slightly more long term durable option would be the wrap the tote in a durable plastic. It works great and many have had great success with that route! But I prefer paint for its ease and the clean, finished look of the tote after its been painted.


And here are the links to the previous videos on my rainwater harvesting wildlife waterer set up.
