50-60 gallon storage barrels

[SaltyJim]

For those of you with 50-60gal water storage barrels, how do you get the water out?

I've seen some with the top cut to allow a half circle type access, and I assume you can then install the bulkhead at the bottom that way. But I was trying to not have to cut the sealed top, and just use the bungholes ( :lol ) to get water in and find another solution to get it out. Or does someone know how to unseal the top of one of the white storage without damaging the top? What are y'all doing?

you can make a cradle, so the tank lies on it's side. then, knock the center out of one of the bunghole plugs, thread in a plastic spigot, and your good to go. it does take up a little more space this way, but it allows you to get to your water without using a pump, or altering the barrel.
