Jules. Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 i have just been to let the hens out of their run, & there is loads of water dripping off the shed into their patch of "grass" (ahem) I could run a gutter along the bottom of the shed roof (it only slopes one way, it does not have a v shape), & into a water butt that could stand nicely out of the way on the flags that are behind the shed. How much should I expect to pay for one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 Thanks for reminding me Jules! I have to fit guttering to my shed, garage and outbuilding!! You can get a water butt from Wickes, B&Q and Homebase for about £30, that does include a stand, lid, tap and tubing to run from a down pipe. I would recommend the set as the stand alone makes it easier to get a watering can underneath. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milly Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 Check with your water company or local council, they often have special offers (including delivery). We got ours a few years ago from the water company, I know it was cheap but can't remember how much now. And it was extremely useful when we all lost our water supply during the floods in July - just the thing for flushing the toilet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlottechicken Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 If you have a booklet delivered with your water bill, there will be info in there. I just had a look at mine but it gives me a specifice website for Severn Trent, as they supply my water. However, the site links through to this http://www.evengreener.com/ and it looks quite interesting. You can also but water butt kits from places like Argos and Tesco direct, probably Wiggly wigglers too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
