Recently, The Home Depot has been selling a truly massive storage bin that shoppers can’t get enough of. The Husky 170-Gallon Pro Grip Storage Tote is such a favorite — and so big — that one shopper said, “This container is large enough that you could make it into a small swimming pool.” And now, The Home Depot unearthed another unexpected use for it — storing your 12-foot-tall Skelly. 

What Is the Husky Pro Grip Storage Tote? 

The storage tote is 37.75 inches long, 34 inches wide, and 26.5 inches in height, and built to hold your biggest items (and it’s less than $100, to boot). Despite the size, it’s easy to move around, thanks to the built-in wheels. It also features four Pro Grip handles and durable latches that snap into place. The lid locks down and has channels you can use for tie-downs, which makes it perfect if you have a lot of items and need a secure place to put them.

And to make matters even better, on a recent trip to The Home Depot, Apartment Therapy’s SEO Home Strategist Jamie Birdwell-Branson saw that the bin is now advertised as the perfect storage item for the  fan-favorite Skelly. The 12-foot tall skeleton  goes viral (and sells out!) every Halloween. If you’re lucky enough to have one (or manage to snag one this year), now is a great time to start thinking about where you’ll store it before and after the spooky season.

Using the Husky 170-Gallon Pro Grip Storage Tote is a great storage option. It’ll keep your Skelly protected all year long and in great condition until it’s time to decorate. 

Why We’re Into It 

Shoppers love this bin and keep sharing positive reviews. One reviewer wrote, “This is such a great storage bin. We are using it for our cross-country move. After that it will be the perfect storage container for our new Christmas tree. You cannot beat the price for the size of this container. It is very durable and structurally sound. The wheels and strong handle are also great features. I highly recommend this for anyone for holiday decorations o[r] any sizable storage needs.” 

Another wrote, “These are great! We actually purchased 6 of these because of the amount of Halloween stuff we have! We originally had the Halloween bags they came out with a couple years ago, but they were very hard to store. If you have A LOT of Halloween stuff like we do, I highly recommend these for storage!” 

Why You Should Trust Us

Every day, I find practical finds will make your space more functional without breaking the bank — and the Husky 170 Gallon Pro Grip Storage Tote is one of those no-brainer picks. Whether you’re new to decorating or a seasoned holiday maximalist, this bin is a solid investment that will keep your Skelly and other holiday essentials neat and protected all year round. Don’t wait to protect your Skelly; head to your nearest Home Depot now to secure this tote.
