I want to collect the rain water off the roof of the house but our existing round water butt is too wide to fit between the conservatory and the fence and still leave enough room to get passed. I've tried turning it round but its too wide whichever way I fit it.
;0)
Does anyone have any suggestions as to what cheap container can be used to collect rainwater but isn't as wide as a round water butt?

Diet? :)
Two smaller water butts? What sort of size of space are you looking for?
I'm after a square water butt, too. I did see a narrow round butt in B&Q today, about 500mm diameter if that's any use ?
Plastic header tank ?

A second hand fuel tank?
The requirement for *bunding* has released a number of single skinned but serviceable tanks. Usually found stacked at your local installer's yard.

The message from ChrisJ contains these words:
I've got a similar problem and have decided in the end to weld up a steel frame, box it out with ply then line it with the leftover dpm from making the conservatory.
BTW, ISTR BES are cheaper.
I just used it as a quick example of shapes :-}

Plastic Dustbins under the eaves of the garage are cheap, and work fine.
