These bucket inserts were quite the suprise to me when I seen them on the web. I bought my buckets and was wondering what to do about a basket/pot on the top when I got them home. I was wondering what to do about that situation. Bango, there they were, lids for the buckets with baskets molded right into the top, and to top it off, they came in different sizes. Bought up some 8" ones, got them home and bango they fit right on to the top of the bucket I had purchased, by the way they were the 5 gallon buckets. No problems. Otherwise, I was drilling a hole into the bucket lid myself, and hoping the size I had was right for the basket, and hoping for a tight fit, you do not want light or anything else getting into the bucket, and then going out to purchase baskets that would hope to fit. What a great product, without any hassle at all.
