Fiskars 30 Gallon Hard Shell Base Kangaroo Gardening Container #9413

Editorial Review
The Fiskars HardShell Kangaroo Container has the same unique pop-up design of the standard Kangaroo Bag, which holds itself open to free both hands for gathering and loading. This collapsible, 30-gallon container is perfect for yard waste and debris collection. Its HardShell bottom prevents your Kangaroo from tearing as you drag heavy loads across gravel and pavement. Holes positioned in the HardShell bottom allow for ventilation and water drainage. It has a unique coiled internal skeleton that creates a sturdy container. The Kangaroo's durable polyvinyl and polyester construction makes it tear-, UV-, and mildew-resistant. The container also has cushioned handles to make carrying a load more comfortable, and can be used with or without a standard trash bag. The HardShell Kangaroo Container features a unique toggle-and-loop closure system that's easy to use. This bag features a convenient dump handle allowing for easy disposal of its contents. When expanded, the container measures 28 inches high with a 22-inch diameter and weighs 4-1/2 pounds. It is covered by a 2-year warranty.

Kangeroo leaf bucket

2008-09-04
I absolutely love this item. I don't know how anyone gathers leaves and garden debris without it! A must have for anyone with a yard...holds a standard size leaf bag. Very sturdy!

Very useful

All sorts of uses...yard cleanup, fill it with ice for cooling party beverages, laundry hamper, trash. We love it. Very sturdy, too.

Handy for twigs and branch moving

I used this to help pick up fallen limbs in the yard and was happy with the volume it was able to hold. Very sturdy the hard bottom is a must for jobs like this. Have not had it long and hope it will hold up to a lot of abuse.

A Must Have for your Gardeners

2008-01-30
Amazon ran this item for $20.99 in past three weeks; this is a screaming deal, because I purchased my first one for $30. I jumped on this again because I have had mine for over three years, and it gets a heavy workout. I don't need another one, but I'm getting one for my brother as a gift. So far, the handles have held up magnificently on mine. I've used it for tree branches and other bush clippings, and this is just the best thing ever. It would make a great gift for any gardener.

Awesome & Versatile

We camp quite often and anyone who owns a motorhome knows that space limited. I bought 3 of these containers and I am SO glad that I did. I have looked a long time for ones that are big enough to fit my needs and these are better than expected. When open, they are just over 2 ft. tall and 22" wide. I use one in our motorhome bedroom for a hamper (there are 4 of us) and the other 2 are for outside garbage cans. These containers fit a large 33 gallon garbage bag (we use the Kirkland brand black drawstring bags from Costco) and they fit the bags perfectly. Just a tad snug, but not stretched. The hard plastic bottom is wonderful. It extends up the sides about 2", so no worries of rips or tears from rocks, brush etc. They fold down simply to about 4" thick. We have had ours for about a year now and they are in great condition. Rinse with a hose and air dry. I love these and highly recommend.

Yard Cleanup

2007-09-23
I purchased this item two weeks ago and mainly use it with a bag to pick up leaves and weeds. It works great and it fills my needs exactly. The one thing you have to make sure and do is place the yard waste exactly in the middle or it will fall over due to the loose sides but this is ok since it collapses and is easy to store away. Great item.

Expensive, Good springform-Collapsible garden container; Hard Base: Big Plus

2007-09-04
Maybe shoulda bought this in spring, maybe finding less expensive options, but my cheap one blew away, lost to a neighbor I guess. Since Amazon sells this, shipping was free, not so the other, cheaper ones on Amazon.

Love this one for the hard plastic shell base which is just heavy enough to stand up in a breeze, not too heavy to carry when filled with weeds. One I bought years ago blew over with the slightest wind until filled up.

Works well with 39 gallon bags, 30 gallon bags don't fit the rim - best used with bags, difficult to empty into a bag once filled. Loops for folding it down are generous, easy to accomplish, not so the cheaper one I bought and lost.

Bought the 10 gallon Kangaroo as well, fits nicely inside 30 gallon kangaroo, either upright or folded down, a nice bonus. Both sizes are equally useful, and may be stored in same space.

VERY GOOD CONTAINER

STANDS UP VERY GOOD.JUST LIKE A SECOND SET OF HANDS.BEST ON THE MARKET.

Great Idea

2007-08-03
This product, like all Fiskars items, is outstanding. The container is exceptionally well made and easy to handle.

My only concern is that the large diameter of the container does not accommodate a 30 gallon plastic bag, which is what I purchased it for. I had intended to place a 30 gallon bag inside the container and then roll the open ends of the bag over the outer edges of the container to keep the bag upright.

Regardless, this is still a fine product and easily collapses into a nice small size. I plan on purchasing the smaller one to keep by my side when doing weeding.
