Default Plastic Storage Bins for a cage? (UK)

Hi, I was hoping if someone in the UK who has previously made a bin cage could direct me towards a suitable storage box that I could turn into a bin cage for Donny? As I recently just looked into Mosrael's bin cage guide.

Donny has been a bit of a devil lately to put it politely since taking in the late Ellie, and now Leo. His current cage is currently a half-breed of a tank and wire. The bin tank at the bottom, then an elevated level (which I've modified to cover up the wire to protect his feet.) which is then topped with a wire cage. Ultimately Donny keeps racing up to the top of the cage, leaning himself across the gap between the elevated level and clinging to the cage door where he will proceed to hang on for dear life and chomp at the bars in effort to get out. And I've tried every option imaginable to stop him from doing this, as not only does it keep me up, I'm also concerned for his teeth as an older hammie at over 18 months.

So basically I want to put some money into making Donny a bin cage and remove the wire component out of the equation.

I always use Really Useful Storage boxes for my bin cages and whilst they might be a bit more expensive than other bins on the market, the plastic is of a nice sturdy quality and the lid is completely flat which allows for easy meshing.
