Has anyone made a lid for the container? did it work? I was thinking of cutting slats in the lid as I fear the container could get knocked over.

It should have come with a plastic lid. Cut some slots in it, but remember its not going to work as quickly with a lid on it.

I've been using Damp Rid for years, it's great stuff to have in my part of the country, where everything that holds still long enough molds. You really don't need a lid after you've set it up, especially in a damp area...the crystals will quickly form a solid lump, and gradually melt away into the tub, so no worries about those spilling out except when you first fill it. I usually have 2 tubs going at once, and check them to see if they need emptying every week or so in the rainy season. I put the original lid under the tubs to protect the floor, just in case I don't catch all of the drips after emptying them.

They do make one with a lid and sell it on Amazon. I don't like it as much. You can't see when all the crystals are gone, or dispose of the water. You're just supposed to replace it in 3 months. Also, the lid is a thin paper which may break during shipping.

The video attached to the product details actually has this product needing to be clamped down when using. Unless I misunderstood your question? So far I've been using mine with the lid on and clamped down.

This box does not come with a lid, but the container that the sand came in does have a lid. There is more then one company that sells the sand, I bought the one that comes in a plastic cylinder shaped container. It has a screw on lid and that's how we store it. Zip lock bag would work too. Now that I think about it though, I don't think that it needs an air tight container. A cashier at a store I was at said that they'd had their sample of sand out for months and never put it away and it was still nice and squishy. So maybe you don't really need a lid at all??

No problem with mine. Of course if the commode is not level the lid could fall from gravity.

"Cut out" sections....but mirrors would be a GREAT idea! However, it is nice to see the paint color as well through the slats. It is a great piece, I would highly recommend it!

I didn't have any problem with the lids not staying on. I ran my finger and thumb around the lid's edge and onto the container and it snapped into place. Hope that's helpful.

The slats alone might pose an issue - I did not try it once I saw how far they would be spaced. I placed a plywood board from Lowe's ($12) on the slats to support my memory foam mattress and it works great.

Container wouldn't be a problem...lid got very brittle when I put it in there...I don't think it would be a problem..

The slats are not sturdy. Replace them with 2x6s on edge and then use plywood. Not box sprint will be required. Worked for me

They have metal rods that slip between each panel to keep them together. If it is sitting on a flat surface, they would need to be cut down(they are metal of course). I bought them to do the same thing, but, they were too short for privacy and the some of the rods fell down between the slats on my deck. I returned it.

I never used a lid on this. Would not know where to get one. Perhaps cover it up with plastic wrap and put a rubber band around it.

No, not at all. Mine is sitting on slats right now. This item is amazing. Comes in the box; a small amount of put-together and that's it.

I was struggling too. And then my boyfriend just banged it on, it just pushes on in two places. I thought it might break, but it didn't. He used his body weight and just pushed down really hard. It works very well and looks nice, I like it. But yeah, you have to sort of have to give a big push to get the lid to snap on in the first place.

Oh it requires much more that.....the slats it comes with are very cheap and if yo crack one forget it. I still wouldn't trust the frame supporting anything without reinforcing it with a 3/4" piece of plywood or sheer panel (which I did) cut to the inside dimensions of the bed. Lowes will do this for you gratefully and with a smile on their face. They're the best. If you don't do this you may run the risk of....."Mommy, Daddy !!! I've fallen through and I can't get up" I've had zero problems by doing this. It was a cheap remedy. Also FYI......The paint job is iffy at best.

put a piece of plywood under it first. it's very cushy and might squish through the slats depending on the spacing. Mine is supported my a metal mesh net thing now, was directly on floor. comfortable both ways.

Aww I did but I threw my trash can in the trash when I got this!! Sorry! Maybe contact Rubbermaid directly and tell them you need a lid. They may be able to help.

I did. I wasn't sure whether or not the holes should be in the very bottom or where the punched in area is. I bought two containers so did one each way.
