It was unintentional. I built a couple of Inntainers first. When I decided to build the larger Earthtainers, I skimmed the instructions and saw the size. The dimensions of the 31 gallon Rugged Totes at Lowes and the 31 gallon Rubbermaid Roughneck totes are identical. I had all the totes bought and most of the building done before I noticed that it was different. I justify it to myself by saying I like the darker color for warmth, but the reality is I didn't read close enough. I did build three using the Lowes tan ones. I'm going to give them to my kids - it is quite a bit warmer where they live.
Live and learn......
