Cleared the detritus from the feed from the garage roof and now the water butt fills up nicely. And promptly shows up a leak with a really tiny hole almost at the bottom of the butt.
As I see it, I've got three reasonably sensible options, attack with soldering iron and melt the plastic locally, glue it, or put a stainless bolt through.
Not sure that heat will work long term as it may drive out plasticiser, but so far it's my favoured solution as the other two still remain viable options. The inside hole is not visible, and the outside one can only be found thanks to my marker pen before I drained it.
Any other ideas or hints?
