Water butts

[marktime]

I have been looking (without much luck) for a water butt that can be secured to the wall something 6 to 9 inches deep would be about right. I have heard of some modular German products but I have not been able to find them anywhere. Searching google for anything with 'butt' gets some colourful results.

Anyone got any pointers.....mark

How about ... http://www.cw2u.com/Scripts/prodView.asp?idproduct=85 (but no info on the depth).

Also, they advertise: http://www.cw2u.com/Scripts/prodView.asp?idproduct=91

What application is this for, i assume you dont need a huge storage quantity?

It's just to collect water for the garden, I have a down  pipe that collects from the front of the roof area but no space on that wall. Plenty of wall space just around the corner. A conventional butt would block the path but something slender hung on the wall would do the job using a diverter and a length of hose to take it round the corner.

any ideas Mark

OK I give in whats and F&E tank?

bows head in shame for having to ask what must be a very basic question

[thestyler]

F&E is feed and expansion. the small thank found in lofts which are used for your central heating, there as cheap as chips.

maybe use a hopper there even smaller,

if you take the outlet for your feed pipe higher up the side of this header it will act as a filter for all the c&&p that comes off the roof.
Just take it off from time to time and wash out.
