How have you ensured the connector is flush with the surface? They are made to go against a flat surface which of course the beehive isn't! Thanks

Hello The connecting kit I bought had a rubber washer that fitted inside on the connecting hose that was mounted from the inside, which is flat, the fixing nut is on the outside of the barrel which when tightened secures the connector and washer which remains flat, the nut is between ridges and not level, this is not important as the secure watertight fitting is inside the water butt. hope this helps John

Where does the tube connect to? Into the lid? There is no hole connect to

We made a hole in the side of the butt to connect to the downpipe. If you use the lid it will keep overflowing.

I have purchsed this water butt but now need the terracotta coloured stand to go with it. Can anyone advise which Amazon retailer that sells these?

I'm afraid the matching stand has been discontinued, which is a shame. I bought the strata 250l stand but to be honest it looks ugly and too big.

How tall is this water butt

77cm ,on the stand 106cm, with the lid 109cm. Regards Ant
