Title: Rainwater hopper - plastic/upvc
Post by: Archer on November 13, 2016, 12:52:49 PM
Anyone know where I can buy some rainwater hoppers, in upvc. I would like large, high capacity grey ones to channel rainwater from the roof away from the building:

Thanks

Couldn`t find one on island fit for what I wanted, so brought it from UK from Wicks. Incidently brought pipework as well cut into just over a metre lengths (+ jointers) in large bag took 2 trips.

However they only do them in black or white.

Hoppers from the uk, pipework from any of the building suppliers and paint what ever color you want.

Thanks. Seen 'em in Wickes & others, but hoping to get some here. They must use on Gran Can etc. Can't believe I haven't seen any here.
Woe? One for you...

Have you tried Ferreteria Las Naves or J.Parilla on the road up to Ideal in Puerto or Foncal at Mattoral?

I have seen bronze coloured Upvc ones in Hidraulica, with all the pipework and bends/ joiners you would need. I bought guttering there.
2 streets behind Ideal, on the right up that one way street in that estate in Puerto. Calle de Cochnilla.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I'll give Foncal a go. Mr G, thanks I saw the small bronze ones in Hidraulica - may have to settle for those.
