Take a tape measure with you and size one up.

I bought mine from B&Q 3 years ago, £12.

Tried it, won't fit more than a couple of inches in. (I've taken the tyres off before you ask.......) I'm going to pick one of these up next week

Post by: dancetothedrummersbeat on January 08, 2014, 11:33 PM: I bought a large round black coloured 'planter' tub for flowers/trees from my local Wilkinsons (great shop!!). Dyed my z rims in it (you can lay them flat with minimal wasted space), then returned it and got my money back saying 'it wasn't large enough for my bush!'

Fits like a glove!

Just fly tip the big bit you don't need at your local beauty spot. (I'm joking (just in case there are any tree Huggers on here)).
