new and recycled Plastic Barrels Forest of Dean

Post by Hamradioop »

As I was searching for barrels on google I came across Smiths of the Forest of Dean Ltd http://www.smithsofthedean.co.uk/drums- ... drums.html

They stock a wide range and barrels and tanks

I have no affiliation with them just sharing info,

Thank for the link, I'm in the market for three or four 200l potable tanks. I've decided against IBC tanks because I can't be sure they are 100% clean and a new one is £160.

blue barrels can be obtained from farms and industrial estates for next to nothing and sometimes free if you ask nicely.
