The 10 gallon locking lid seed can enables me to keep two twenty pound bags of no-mess seed outside under my deck near the bird feeders without worry that animals will get into it. It doesn't have a handle on the lid so no water will not leak in from rain. I have three of them so I can buy six bags of seed at a time I purchased the first two from the local bird specialty store but they didn't have any last time I went there so I search online and found this store. One of the cans has a handle on the lid which I fear at some point may not keep water out during a storm.
