Hi

Looking for a water butt for the garden and someone sent me this as a suggestion though it was a good price :)

That's half price - of what I paid in Wickes year before last.

Thanks, Cam, have just ordered one and can pick up from my local store, so no postage! :D

glad i can pass on the link, i was interested in the oak butt but need to measure to see if it will fit :)

In many areas the water companies sell them quite cheaply.

Thanks Cambourne,

I was needing one for the other side of my greenhouse and this one seemed perfect. It arrived this morning from Tescos and I am very pleased especially as it comes with a stand too ;D
Ordered it on Thursday evening with really good communications via text messages as to when it would arrive.

went to order mine today having measured up the space and the price has gone back up just an FYI but i think the price might go down again so will monitor :)

Picked mine up today. Just missed out on a rainwater diverter kit on ebay so will probably have to spend another tenner or so (need a long pipe), but it's still a good price in all.

Try old washing machine pipes  :)

How, please?

If your after pipe, MDPE pipe is good stuff.  usually you can get some off a builder/plumber.  It's the blue pipe used underground.

I have a standard diverter and use the pipe off the old washing machine ( 4+ foot long instead of the 1 foot the kit came with ) to get to the water butt round the corner, free and easy!


Other types of pipe probably work just as well, I just didn't have some handy :)
