    …water butts in the garden.  To save space, I’m thinking of stacking them.  The base of one fits perfectly into the lid of the other.  Each water butt has its own base (the bit below the tap in the picture), but if I stack them, I won’t need or use the base for the top water butt.


    Anybody see any flaw in my design other than just stupid? :D  The water butts are made of rigid plastic and because of their hexagonal structure appear to more solid than a simple round plastic one.   When I press the sides there is a little bit of give but not excessive, maybe about 2mm or 3 mm.  Also, I’m assuming that having two feeds from the down pipe from the gutter won’t be an issue as once the top one is full it will then fill the bottom one.

    Your going to kill someone  :D
