Rainwater diverter

Hi,

I've just got a new greenhouse and two water butts, I wanted to connect two diverters either side, so I could keep the lids on the water butts and not pull the downpipe out at an awkward angle.  however I can only seem to find diverters to fit larger pipes, mine are only around 2 cm but I can only seem to find 5cm+?

What does everyone else do?

    We got ours from Wicks, I think.  Google is your friend - sometimes.

    Google is where I first went but I can’t find any! Wikes only have one for 5cm+ ☹️

    2cm is very narrow. I can't see how something so narrow could function as a diverter, I doubt there's enough space inside.
    For what it's worth this is what I have done-

    the 3 butts are joined at the base, with a single tap on the end one
