My wife is after a space saving water butt around the 200l sort of size with stand and diverter kit.

Who is the best place to buy from including value?

She is after just a plain one, nothing fancy.

The local chain garden centre (the one you get a club card thing for- a gardening card... My memory fails at the name of the chain) have them a half price at under £40.

By the way - have you considered lifting the butt up to the right height on a pile of bricks/slabs? I think it looks nicer than the stands that you buy.

B&Q sell a variety, from small to large, basic simples, to Roman carving style.

Looks about the cheapest. Might even get two to keep her in water for longer......

Thanks.

+1 but don't forget to buy a full one otherwise the cost to fill it really adds up on your water meter bill.
