Tub is 37lt so the smaller of the two from Ikea. The hinge doesn't appear too heavy duty but should be OK.

Good idea to paint the tub. Got me thinking on a shiny silver to reflect the sun's rays.

Yea - thats why I changed it from blue (couldnt get white) to something that would keep it cool & reflect the sun. Even thinking of sticking a bit of poly foam under the lid to help.

Had a thought here
what about those foldable reflective esky thingys you buy and lining it with an appropriate sized one of them to keep the sun off and keep the inside free of ink and guts and stuff!
