Water barrel storage

Fed up of struggling with 2 people to get a water barrel into its drawstring bag?  I found I could buy a really cheap bin made for garden rubbish that folds flat but springs open. Ideal size for a barrel ! Think mine were £3 each! Now it is an easy single-handed
job!

    The issue here is doing the job the wrong way round! Wink

    So much easier simply to place the draw-string bag over the Aquaroll; a single person job.

    Yes that's what we do.  Aquaroll on ground and push bag over it - easyHappy

    Ours has a 'rubberised' inner surface which makes it very difficult to put on as it grips the plastic of the barrel. I may try turning the cover inside out and trying it that way but I like your idea of a pop up type cover!

    Always give ours a good wipe over before packing away. It then travels on the carpet pinned against the drawer unit (old small towel to stop rubbing) pinned by the wastemaster, which I similarly clean off.  Only takes a few minutes and saves on getting them
    into bags.

    Undecided...That what we do now use "bag" for other things

    Do you go looking for mud to coat your aquaroll? I just plonk mine in the boot.

    Trouble is since these new pitching regs came in, on a lot of pitches the peg is hard against the left hand side. So part of the aquaroll / wastemaster ends up on the grass, even on hardstandings which we favour. Depending on weather, some mud is likely
    to get onto them. If I was able to fit them in the boot, I would probably be less careful.
