Water butts

I may have been dreaming but I am sure I rmember somewhere seeing garden rain water butts that fasten around down pipes and are disguised as half barrels or ceramic pots, but that fit close to the wall - ie they are not completely round. Has anyone ever seen such a thing? I need something like that for the front of the French house.

Oak barrel water butt

If you scroll down this page, there is a faux granite urn butt I think is pretty.

We just use 55 gallon plastic barrels!!

Thanks. It must be something that will look Ok at the front of the house and not take up too much room. I like the stone effect one - I will look into that.

Hey! Those are pretty cool! Hubby bought a Mother Earth News this past weekend so he's been into homesteading and being "green" this week , but I must admit that the water that comes off the roof amounts to an awful lot and would be just the thing for watering the plants.
