I've been trying to fit a rainwater butt to my shed, but the downpipe is
only 55mm in diameter. Standard diverters only seem to fit 63mm pipes
and up - can anyone recommend a diverter for a smaller pipe?

Thanks,

Nik

Take a length of 63mm downpipe and replace the piece on the shed.

Run the pipe into the butt, and then have it overflow onto the
original soakaway (or whereever it goes). This is better because
if you don't use the water for some time, the water in the butt
is being changed slowly and the surface skimmed off, rather than
just sitting there.
