I’d check the max. weight limit of the car roof first.

IBC is normally about 60kg.

I would expect most cars are rated to 75kg including the rack. I wouldn’t do any major roads with something that big due to the drag though. If you’ve got a friend with a big enough trailer or a pickup it would be a better option.

Bought a £20 100l job from b&q.it’s one of the most satisfying purchases I’ve ever made and isn’t an eyesore. I think it could be a new tag line to add to organic and artisan veg – I look forward to my “morally correct wartered” potatoes.

we had a lot of problems with water off the field behind our house draining downhill into our garden, so set too putting some land drains in to get rid of water. decided halfway into the job to buy a 1000ltr ibc and recycle the water for the garden. 4 hrs of digging and 1 skip later tank is buried and working well, cant believe how quick it filled up and its only fed from the land drains, cost me About £200 but satisfyingly worth it knowing i,m doing my bit for the environment.
