Dog kennel / animal run panels, built from a recycled IBC tote
Cage panels build a sturdy, ventilated animal run or kennel for far less than a prefab kennel, reusing galvanised steel that resists chewing and weather.

A real-world write-up with photos of this reuse in practice.
Cage panels build a sturdy, ventilated animal run or kennel for far less than a prefab kennel, reusing galvanised steel that resists chewing and weather. That advantage is real for this job specifically — not a blanket claim that a tote is best for everything.
Suitability & safety
The galvanised cage carries no residue risk from the tote's prior contents, which makes it the most broadly reusable component of any IBC.
