Aye, it fits that alcove perfectly, which is otherwise dead space and a detritus trap. And that down pipe doesn't go into a drain, just dumps onto the patio (hence the roofing tile in an effort to prevent it just sitting under the down pipe). And even though it only serves the tiniest bit of roof (about 2m wide and 2 tiles deep), I didn't like the idea of that. So in the few weeks it's been in, it's only collected about half a bucket full, but that will do for rinsing stuff off or watering any pots we put out. Might get a bigger one for the downpipe off the kitchen extension roof.

They're a great size aren't they?
I got this one free out of a skip. Although it's a bit grubby, it handily matches one I bought and put in a temp location... which has become semi permanent as its full and too heavy to move.
We're moving to meters and my OH is adamant that I don't use water in my usual winnie-nilly fashion.
