    Or I did find a deal but still not as good as my local waterboard...!! :biggrin:

    :blue thumb: So if you want a waterbutt go to your local waterboard site & see what they have got.. Ours also has a really good deal on a compost bin & waterbutt together as well.. ;)

      Excellent value.
      I picked some up at a local recycling centre but I still had to go and hunt down all the bits to go with it.

      MMMmmm, didn't realise how expensive these things are.
      I'm just wondering how they justify the price.

      They're not cheap are they, but I don't know anything about water butts, I don't need them here. :)

      I bought two 210 litre water butts from Wilcos two years ago for £23 each, and two stands from a Plant Nursery for £25. I did think about getting the over 1ooo litre recycled industrial water containers but getting them into my garden would be too awkward.:dunno:

      Bargain!

      I bought 6 large ones last year via the council website (buy one, get one half price) and it included the fittings and bases. Best purchase I've ever made :dbgrtmb:
