Large blue barrels wanted to hold water or feed

[Jen]

Does anyone know where to get those large blue barrels that you can use to store water or feed in?

[j]

Any one, i need to know too, moved to DIY and need somewhere better hold all my feed! I bought a few rubbish bins in B&Q but could do with something a lil bigger

[Flic]

Have you tried a builders yard or merchants, they often have been used for oil or similar and than get washed out and used for feed. Otherwise wheelie bins are a good size they come in big and small. Hope it helps.

I have a few if you live in cheshire.

Berkshire - I'd like one too, if possible

You can buy them from Atlantic Country Store. They're not very expensive, I don't think, and Atlantic are on the net somewhere

I spent ages looking for some to use as water butts . . . mentioned it to my father in law and next day he found 5 floating in the canal! How lucky was that ! But they're all now in service, I'm afraid, though I could ask him to keep a look out

Rainycali - how much would you want for your blue barrels? I want some too!

Hi Cokey, just trying to find Atlantic Country Store on the net but not having much luck. Is it the same place as the one that puts brochures in Your Horse magazines etc now and again?

How much from Atlantic?

We have a schooling area surrounded by these at our yard! The yard owner has arranged them in a rectangle, and a wooden rail running all along the top to enclose the area. It's very effective!

(Sorry not to be of help where to get them from though!)

I have emailed them and will let you all know when I get a reply.
