Hi All

I have limited space in the back garden and need a place to store fuel for my new stanley stove

I was seaching the net and found one these large plastic bunkers and was wondering has anybody puchased one of these and at what price???

( my neighbour says the large bunker is about e200 but that sound a bit expensive to me)

regards

I searched for coal bunkers a couple of years ago and found them to be pricey (€120 and upwards).

I found a novel solution - a colourful double size toy box! It cost €75, holds 2 bags of coal (I keep the coal in their bags) plus briquettes, logs, tinder sticks and firelighters. It's weatherproof, and makes a change from black or grey!

Here's a link to the single-size version, available at Woodies (where I got the double). And yes, my coal bunker is that colourful!!

I got a 3-bag plastic coal bunker, which is quite neat, in a Topline hardware store - it was about €100 from recollection.
 
we bought the 6-bag Sturdy bunker for (iirc!) around €140 in B&Q.

it's a good size because we get a discount for six bags of coal and our coal man tips the bags in when he delivers. it's the little things..
 
thanks all for the replies

I'm out near liffey valley tomorrow so will hopefully get a chance to pop in to B&Q to a get a price on a bunker
 
This is where we bought our bunker .......I'd reckon they are cheaper than Whites Agri , because they make them and supply retailers.

They are in Blessington
 
I bought a a Jumbo Tote in B&Q for less then €40, it holds 2 bags of coal and a couple of bales of briqettes.

I have this style of a coal bunker.


Because it sits on the ground it is very difficult for the coal to "flow" out the front!

I said this to my coal merchant and he offered to place it up on a few pallets the next time its empty.

Im not sure about this solution but am willing to give it a try.

We have this style bunker . It holds 5 bags of coal and cost me € 100 .

The coal wont flow out , as its level on the ground , but we believe it really helps us save on fuel , because we can only use one shovel-full at a time .

You could place it on blocks to 'raise it off the ground '
