Want to buy a barbie pink storage bin!

hmmmm, interesting....

a litre is 1000cubic centimetres (10 x 10 x 10)

20kg of pellets is about 80cm high by about 25cm deep by about 50cm wide (total guessing using my hands as a gauge )

which would be 100,000cm cubed.

that makes it about 100 litres.

if it helps any, we keep our mash bags in a normal plastic dustbin, and we can fit a bag of mash and newspapers down the side....

just googled plastic dustbins and it looks like they're about 80-95 litres each.
that'll be about the right size for you.
if your barbie bin is 80 litres, it'll be enough.

if it's smaller than that you could get two...
