We made one out of an old accord drill hopper. I'll post a picture later.

Our homemade effort. Side extensions are to make it wide enough so we can tip the merlo bucket straight into it.

pegs on the inside corners so it can be used as a bag filler as well if needs be.

I think the plastic ones are the way to go. Happy to store 50-100 over winter when they are folded down. New seed bags are now >£15 per bag and I like to get my moneys worth so squeeze 7 years/uses out of them but they really should be changed after 4/5.
Wow, I darent use them more than 3 times.

I know of a few places that will only use them once. Can you put a link up for the folding bins, I’ve only ever seen rigid ones.
