I wanna Coal Bunker

Options
Does anyone know where I can purchase a cheap Coal Bunker? Preferrably brand new or fantastic condition.

I normally store my coal in the garage, but having it converted into a room, so need to store the coal outside.

Many thanks

    my local independent hardware store has some plastic coal bunkers in various sizes, i noticed last weekend. however i have no idea of the price and since i'm in northern ireland this isn't particularly helpful! But if you have a similar kind of shop near you it might be worth a shot

    Carbery make plastic coal bunkers, usually available from the same suppliers as their oil tanks. I know Atlantic in Suffolk stock Carbery and will deliver to you - they advertise various sizes on eBay, but you can often get things a bit cheaper if you ring and order direct (01986 891074).

    Do a search on eBay for "Carbery coal bunker" to get an idea of the prices.

    HTH :)

    one note about plastic you might want to ensure you always have coal in it or a weight as it may blow away :-)
    If it doesnt pay rent sell it.

    Here's a couple. Not cheap, but they'll do the job.

    Bought one myself a few years ago when we also got rid of our garage/ coal store and built a new room. Paid around £150 back then.
  • Hi yes I got a good one from Sturdy 045865044 you can buy from their factory outlet - nice design
  • I bought my coal bunker from gardenoasis.co.uk. It is a galvanised one and the 5cwt one I got holds about a years worth of coal for my little place. :j

    Delivery was free and I paid just under £70 but they do a smaller one which is cheaper.

    Hope this helps! x
  • Try ebay they have loads starting around 50 quid.

    It is easy to build one from a few concrete blocks and a bit of cement- and cheaper!
