Coal Bunker

Stanthedog

Hi
I need a coal bunker to store coal in. Coal is much cheaper from my coal merchant and better quality that the rubbish that is sold in shops/garages and I can save money getting it delivered, but I need to provide a coal bunker. I've been looking at buying one but they are incredibly expensive for what they are. A galvanised one costs £50-£60 and the plastic ones can be anything between £100-£200 new. I've been looking for a second hand bunker but even on ebay/preloved they are rare to find. I regulary travel from North Wales, through to Shrewsbury, M54, M40 to South West London, Surrey. Can anyone recommend a cheep supplier or know of something decent second hand?

I use my two garden waste wheelie bins and have a couple of old style plastic dustbins. The whole lot can hold around 8-10 50kg bags of coal.

Yes I've been following gumtree for weeks, plus preloved and ebay. Everything in gumtree seems to be in Ireland

Another place to look is fly tip sites - Ive seen a few bunkers fly tipped , ours we found (minus door) dumped beside the recycling bins ( hubby made door from wood with roof felting)

Although my storage example is within my workshop, which is a builders bulk bag, I put 300kgs of smokeless in bag, approximately filled half the bag, you could do the same if outside?

Bulk bag sitting on a pallet, cheap tarp on top to keep dry. Cost to you, ZERO!
