I have seen several for sale commercially but I do think I might be best off with the one that matches the greenhouse as the price is on a par with the others
We bought one a few years ago but let it Empty when the weather was hot,t the wood shrank and try as we have, it only gets half full before it leaks.the tap bung is rotting now and the usual plastic ones don't fit. On the up side it does look good and only we know it is a garden ornament at the moment.
We have 4 plastic water butts filling up from the downpipe from the gutter, instead of going into the soakaway - not as good looking as a barrel but not wasting the water. We also have a dustbin with a lid either side of the Summerhouse. My O.H. has fixed gutters to the sides of the Summerhouse, and then downpipes which angle at the end, and go into the side of the dustbin at the top. We used this method at our previous house when we didn't have room in the garden for a water butt against a drainpipe.
