- Learn how to build your own DIY stage with pickle buckets! In this short video I show you how to build a stage using 5 gallon paint buckets and where you can find the buckets cheap.
Update: If you need even more stability, just fill the buckets with water.
These risers are solid and would work well as a DIY church stage, DIY School Stage, or even as a DIY Drum Riser.
If you have any question let me know in the comment section and I'll do my best to help you out. - Zábava

cindyglevine Thanks for watching! I agree, she is pretty cute. 😜
Love it. Making one for my granddaughter. Thank you

Thanks, she's a keeper for sure. :-)
Great idean and well made vid ! You and your little girl look so true people. hanks for sharing; take care
Hey! Thanks for watching!!
Nice job with the video and the stage. I'm going to make one just for my kids. They love to sing and act and a stage would really enhance their act. :)
Kevin Awesome! That’s pretty much how we use ours. Good luck with your project.
Love this! Genius! Notice that added sub. 🤣. Thank you for this! So cool!
Thanks for watching! 💥BOOM!!!💥™
This turned out fantastic!!! How cute are your baby girls :) The pickle buckets are such a great idea and at $2 a piece, you can't really beat that! I think Chris would be in heaven if he came home to our whole garage smelling like pickles LOL!!!
Hey H.H. friends! Thanks for watching our video and subscribing to our channel. I'm in the process of making some upgrades to the stage and I'll be posting an update soon.
Our girls LOVE your videos! I do too!! We look forward to seeing what you guys build next.
💥BOOM!!!💥™
Great idea! Where did you get that lighting backyard image? Super cool
DOS UNO Thanks for watching! My wife said that she ordered the backdrop from The Oriental Trading Company. I hope that helps. 💥BOOM!!!💥™
Mmmmm pickles!!!!
Right!?! I want to see some video of your backyard stage, and I want to perform on it!
Thanks for the idea! I am going to build one for our preschool.
Just a question: it isn't to hard to get the buckets out of the lids?
It takes a little effort but I wouldn't say it is hard. Good luck with the build. Let me know if you have any questions.
I was just thinking about this today...wondering if you already posted the video.
Evil Dan This thing is pretty awesome
Thanks for the great video! Wondering - at the end you mentioned regretting making 4x4’ sections, due to transportability. I may be misunderstanding - I think you mentioned wishing you had made 8x4’ sections. Could you elaborate?
Hey Jason, Thanks for watching the video. My intention with the 4'by4' was that I could bring it out into the world and use it for shows. The reality is, the decks are still too big to fit in my SUV. (Ford Edge) Looking back, I probably would have just kept it as a 4' by 8' platform. Either way would be fine really. the smaller decks are easier to move around for sure. Still a great little stage after all of these years. Good luck!
Yass!
Thanks for watching. Good luck!

how much weight can it take. im using heavy duty equipment on it(truss, line array etc) will it be able to hold this? i dont feel like buying/renting an expensive stage if i can do this... great build!
It's definitely not going to be rated like a professional stage would be. Depending on your gear though I do think it would hold up pretty well. If you need more support you could always add more buckets underneath. Give it a shot and if you have any doubts then leave it out.
I think that if you engage your brain you should be able to answer your own question.
Hello! I was wondering if you had to glue, drill anything to make the buckets stay?
Caroline McDowell The bucket lids are mounted to the deck using 2 wood spacers. One above the lid and one below the lid. These are all secured using drywall screws. I used 4 screws on each spacer.
The buckets themselves just snap into the lids and are very secure.
What type of lights are those
I don't have the roto tool to cut the circles could I get around cuting those
Mike Stein if you have a jigsaw I’m sure that would be fine for cutting the circles. The root zip is just faster. I would use the circles though as they do add a lot of support.
What's the black thing on the front called?
The black thing with the silver, its like there were u put ur instrument or gears
That is called an ATA case. You can find them at Guitar Center, they can be custom made, and I see them a lot on facebook marketplace. Just search for ATA case or roadshow case. Good Luck!
@@fitzmagic thx
Can you put an like full drum set like crash, ride high hats toms and a snare on here thanks for the video
If you can squeeze all of your gear onto a 4'by8' riser then I would say yes. I originally got the inspiration from another CZcams video where a guy made a drum riser like this and I think it was even smaller.
How much weight can this handle?
I don't know exactly but it is very sturdy. Filling the buckets with water made the risers a lot more stable too.
What are the flat part of the wood measurements?
They are 4’ by 4’ each.
How did you keep the screws attaching the lid to the base from not poking through the top?
I think I just used 1" screws. It went through the spacer (1/2"), the bucket lid (-1/4"ish), and into the platform (3/4"".
You can see that at this point 03:27
@@fitzmagic awesome thanks. Since I’m not planning on putting a carpet on it I’m just going to use wood glue for the spacer that’s wood to wood
My car smells like so many pickles haha
@@taylorearwood6706 Too funny! That means you are doing it right. ;-)
How much does this weigh? And can it fit in back of a Camry?
It's pretty heavy, over 50 pounds for sure. It will not fit into a Camry or my FORD Edge. :-(
As long as you don't go slow! lol
@@fitzmagic hi john is that 50lbs per 4'x4' section or 50lbs all together?
thanks
Simon Shaw Music Correct, I believe each 4’X4’ deck weighs about 50lbs.
how did you guys make the stage ?
I did my best to show how I built the stage in this video. Did you have any specific questions?
Why do people have to ask such dumb questions.
Where can you get a pickle buckets are they wanting for three dollars
In my area, we have a restaurant chain called "Firehouse Subs" and they sell the 5-gallon buckets that their pickles come in for $3.00 each. It's actually a donation to their charity.
If you need buckets, you can also do a search on the Facebook marketplace and you may get lucky. I've heard of people getting a bunch of them for free through Facebook. Good luck!
would you give me the measurements and materials you used,thanks
It's made from 3/4" plywood cut into 4' by 4' squares. If I built it over again, I would have just kept the sheet of plywood 4' by 8'. The supports on the sides are made from 2"by3"s and are just cut to fit the plywood. Last, the circles are cut from 1/2" plywood and they are cut to fit into the recess on the lids. I believe it was about 11.5". I hope that helps.
John Fitzsimmons thank you sir
The jimmy johns here where I live does not sell the buckets. They didn’t even know what I was talking about.
Karen Makange I found the buckets at a place called “Firehouse Subs”.
You can search in the Facebook marketplace for 5 gallon buckets and often times these will pop for about $1 each. Good luck!
Lol. I am an idiot. Lol.
Kenya Safari Acrobats I literally just lol’d wasn’t expecting that he’ll it’s 140a right now as I’m watching this 😂😂
@@e.dominiasmith2665 i don’t understand?!
@@e.dominiasmith2665I just did the same thing right now 2 years later 😂 hilarious. “They didn’t even know what I was talking about.”
I think i is more stady if you fill the buckets with sand
BASS CLOWN That is probably true! For me, water is cheaper and easier to fill and dump when I want to move them.
Is it study
It is very sturdy. To add stability, I now fill the buckets at least halfway with water and the stage is solid. You could probably use sand if you wanted to as well.
You had a bug on your face!
Doh!
So instead of asking some dumb shit like "wHeRe cAn i bUy vElcRo" or "h0w mAnY gAlloNs iN a 5 GaLloN bUcKeT"...
But I'm gonna ask if she'll float.
Ha! Good question. I bet she would float ("She" being the stage. Azlin only floats sometimes) but will she float upright like a stage? That I do not know...
weight limit? xD
A lot? I don't have an official answer here but it is a very sturdy stage.
