Title: Ibc question
Post by: colin purewater on April 24, 2012, 06:18:44 pm
Does any one make a ibc less that 1000L?
The reason I ask us I'm after a Ibc but I can
Only find this size and I'm moving house In a
 few weeks and I want to put one in me shed.
I've seen the 1000l ones on eBay for sale by me
In Liverpool for £25.
But that size has no chance of going through the door!
I ain't even gona get me tape measure out ;)

So what do you guysdo?

I only really need about 300l tank 600 would be great
But could live with 250

Any ideas people ?

Many thanks

Colin

You can get a 600l but I'm unsure of the exact dimensions. It may simply be the same length and width but shorter.

Colin.
The different companies out there make 600litre ibc's as well as 1000.  have you thought about using a van tank? Upright 650 is nice and thin as well. would take up much less room than an ibc.

but they're usually a lot dearer and they aren't that much smaller.
