If youve any factories near you that process food they might give away those big blue barrels that stuff like spices comes in. Or maybe a chemical factory but youd need to know what was in the barrel wasnt harmful. They cut the tops off them so theyre good for dipping.

I did the above but then went looking on ebay as well and there are plenty of water barrels or plastic storage on there that will be suitable.  I collected 3 160l drums for £10, bargain I thought
