Elex Galvanised Steel Metal Coal Bunker Heavy Duty Coal Fuel Storage 125KG -5 BAGS OF 25KG FUEL

It takes two people to assemble and just a bit of patience. Assembly time took us about 40 minutes. Once assembled, it was sturdy and good value for money. Decent size - not too big or too small. We assembled indoors and then carried it outside. Held together really well, when we put coal in it. Just be sure to nip up screws and bolts tightly when assembling. It easily holds 6 x 20kg bags of coal. Sides do not bulge and is quite sturdy. I would recommend this product 🙂

Flimsy, but does what it should

Poor manufacture edges of steel sharp, instructions very poor, screw heads tended to strip and not enough to put lid hinges on, quality of the washers very poor and alignment of the holes in the base not very good, this will do for this winter but not much longer

Quite hard to assemble. Good value for money and sturdy.

This was dented everywhere very flimsy how this can hold coal I will never know however once I receive rest of it and finish assembling it I will give it a chance be warned item was damaged badly we’ve had to panel beat it back into shape it’s easy to put together however nut’s and bolts are missing so can’t finish assembling it yet until seller posts them out we’ve also had to screw the sides together by riveting it as it pushes out nothing was holding them together I know it is just a coal bunker but it is not going to be strong enough to hold the coal I would not recommend it at all and it is definitely not worth the money I’d give £20 tops for this definitely not the asking price sorry it’s true

Easy to put together, but watch out for sharp edges. The galvanised steel sheets are not as thick as I was hoping, but so long as they stop my coal from getting wet, that's what matters to me. The hinges rusted within a fortnight, so I have had to spray them with WD40 to prevent further rusting.

It took me 3 hours to put together!!! The bolt heads weren’t much bigger than the holes (a few of which didn’t line up very well) and I had to find some washers. That could be the reason a few people said their seams popped once the coal was in. The bolts to the lid and corner brackets clashed and I had to take the back brackets off to bolt the lid on then reattach the brackets. And flat head bolts?? Had to borrow an old fashioned flat head screw driver from an elderly neighbour and an open end spanner because my socket wouldn’t fit over the nut they were so close to the edges. So once together I realised the coal hole wasn’t flush with the floor. Has anyone tried to shovel coal from the middle of a pile? So out came the hacksaw and I cut the bottom lip off. Voila!! it’s now in my garden full of coal and working a treat. Even if my door is half way up the coal hole. Oh and me shovel is wider than the coal hole .. gotta buy a smaller shovel.

Screws missing, screw holes didn’t line up with hinge holes, panels dented. Poor quality but I suppose you get what you pay for. It still holds the coal! However, coal man added a few more dents due to gauge of material.
