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.

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.

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.

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 :)
