I use loads at the smallholding for storing shavings and stuff thst needs to be dry, wife uses them at the stables as feed stores, use them as log stores, kindling stores, extra coal hole, drill holes in the sides and grow stuff from the bottom half and potatoes out the top, I've even made a fat trap and grey water pumping Station out of 2 for an local campsite. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
