Water Butts from recycled plastic barrels are a responsible way to save water and protect the environment.  We always have stock ready-to-go and if you can, it is always best to call in and choose from what we have available on the day.  Visitors can choose where they want a tap sited or have downpipe holes cut out or a complete top cut off.  You don't have to have a tap if you don't want too.  We offer choice, however supplies will vary on a day to day basis.  If you want one sent out to you - that's not a problem.  Those of you unable to visit can tell us your requirements over the phone or by email and we will do our best to accommodate you.  Water Butts can be sent to many postcode areas throughout the UK.  If you want to team up with friends and buy in bulk give us a call.  We can fit 8 on a pallet and you can share the delivery costs with others.
