Quick question regarding water-butts...

Missed the bikes. What's the problem?

Couldn't agree more!
Furniture looked like it needed a refresh anyway.
In addition, thinking would could move it with that orange sack barrow was a little naive!

...do they need strapping to the wall?

Hard to tell from the photo but the feed pipe join on the down pipe should be no higher than the rim of the butt else it’ll overflow.

Mine is trapped to the wall with a length of French army 9 tonne towing strop (about all the French army are good for).

Is that in any way related to the old joke about the difference between the French, and toast?
