If you're looking for a barrel with the lid as shown don't bother, although the item shows a lid it doesn't, false advertising, i purchased this unit only because it was local and had showed a lid. Already purchased it before seeing. they should be ashamed. I will contact the proper authorities for resolution. further more if I wanted a barrel without a lid I would have saved $10.00 do not buy!

I purchased this item today at my local Tractor Supply. The items were stored outside so I paid for the item and an employee went out to get it. I brought my car over and he brought the barrel without a cover. I asked about it and was told these are burning barrels and don't have a cover. I pointed out the ad distinctly shows the cover. He repeated again that the don't come with a cover. The cover was the reason I chose the more expensive unit in the first place. Rather than make a scene and have to go back into the store for a refund I took the item. I feel like I got taken. Either by false advertising or the store employee. I will be more careful next time with regards to both the store and the brand. These are steel non coated drums if they hold water they will rust, I guess I'll look for a cover on that smiley box company's website.
