Local church roof? :-)
lead has to be one of the easiest metals to work with, so why not make your own? you can melt scrap lead in any old saucepan and pour it into moulds made from sand. It's easily cut (for the slots etc and finished with a wire brush to remove excess
I'd wager that a large portion of the £89 you've been quoted is for delivery.
Does it have to be lead shot?
2 chainsaws and a 9" angle grinder would be the traditional uk.d-i-y answer for 20kg of ballast.lol - all in the DIY spirit of things!
Wonder if SWMBO would love me to be melting some lead! The delivery piece was £8!
Thanks anyway

Amazing how you get out of the water with 20k lead plus the tanks!
Could you fashion a wrap around from flashing?

Trust me you really want shot

The difficulty is building a tall-enough shot tower innit.
Well if you followed The Medway Handymans suggestion you are actually high enough to do that.

I'd _never_ follow that guy's suggestions - he advocates the universal use of some stuff commonly known as "WD-40".

I just put hooks on these large lead balls.
The world's least effective Newton's cradle?
Nobody worry. All the guns will be gunged up with WD-40.
I knew somebody would say that! They are counterweights to take up the slack in the cords that are used to pull down tram poles.
I thought they were robot testicles
Damn I was going to say counter weights for a cord, I was thinking of the tensioning the passenger operated "ding ding" cord. But having to guess the size and coming up with about 1 1/2" dia decided that they would be bit heavy for that.
