Having asked about positioning a water butt, thanks for the replies, where can I source hoses with sizes? I've tried Googling to no avail. I can only find specialist hoses and the standard garden hose. My need is for something a little larger, I would also like a hose to fit the rain butt tap. TIA
Hose sizes availability

A little depends on the way you intend to use the hose but, if it is to be fixed into position, find your nearest agricultural merchant (often called farmers suppliers) and ask about alkathene. Alkathene is more rigid than a normal garden hose but has got a little flexibility and is available in different sizes.

You can get 3/4 inch hose.
Maybe try:

unless you need the flexibility, I'd look at using plastic pipe or irrigation pipe.
15mm hose and jubilee clip?
Reminds me, I must go and turn off the tap on our butt which feeds the greenhouse perforated hose. We had about 18mm of rain in ten minutes this afternoon :-)
