3M (10ft) Aluminium Paddling Pool, Fish / Duck Pond, Water Butt, Water storage, Tank, Trough
£100
Description
For Sale is a 3M (10ft) diameter Aluminium ex-communications Dish Antenna which was damaged whilst being erected and resulted in a slight warp in the shape which made it unusable as a transmitting dish. We purchased it from Thorn EMI and used it as a paddling/play pool with a slide attached and had great fun during the summers, many years ago. For approx the last 15 years it has been used as a water storage for watering plants.
With a coat of paint it could be reverted back to a paddling/play pool or used as a water butt or fish pond. It is very heavy ( about 4 adult men could carry it ) and to transport it, it would need to be turned on it side or at an angle as being 10ft it is too wide for normal road transporting.
The dimensions are : 10' 4" outside diameter (3150mm ) x 34" high ( 860mm), depth internally 30" (760mm). It is bolted to a steel frame and made of 1/8th thick (3mm) aluminium. It has drain holes in the centre at the bottom with a hose to be able to drain the water.
(blue drum and watering can are not included, they are only to indicate the size of the dish)
