Born Hunter 17,974 Posted August 21, 2013 Report Share Posted August 21, 2013 200lt plastic drums? Ask local keepers. We used to use them but only use smaller ones now. The ones we got were used for importing Chinese and Indian sauces, the bloody things were horrible to handle before being cleaned out! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm actually good mates with an ex keeper whose dad and two brothers still are,I asked him about the time I posted this originally and surprisingly he also had a few he needed himself,didn't know where to get them but would keep his eyes open for any. I've hassled him a few times since but he hasn't come across any and his dad or brothers don't know where to get them! Just adds weight to my plastic barrel conspiracy theory lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites

neems 2,406 Posted August 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2013 (edited) Yeah I have looked all over there mate,shortly before I looked at the prices (or locations) A lot of money/time if the dogs decide to chew them up. I'll probably end up knocking up something similar to what haymin suggested. Edited August 21, 2013 by neems Quote Link to post Share on other sites

neems 2,406 Posted August 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2013 Thanks for all the replies and pms offering help. I'm going with haymins idea,because if I'm struggling to get one now and end up needing a spare in the middle of winter when I'm back at work it would be a nightmare.
