Fill with rat bait and put in the stack as you build it.

Drain ends (into the ditch)

Seen them used as drains to.


Someone on here made them into a walking stick holder i think 3 together in a triangle

Bird feeders, rat bait, grease gun holders on machinery

If you've got enough, make a fence that never needs painted

Looks good, be good for sheep pens if they turn like rollers.

They do, he had to go along and blob hot glue on them to stop them singing in the wind. Think he used about 700 tubes all up

I used some to duct an electric fence feed under a road,
did think about using them to lay as drains but don't have enough,
have used them for growing straight parsnips,
perfect for sleeving 3" round posts so you can make easily removable sections of fence,
made them into sleeves for my slug traps to make them easy to refresh.
The possibilities are as endless as the pile of tubes I seem to have accumulated

You guys don't know how good you have it: all I get is cardboard ones.

Makes me feel like the Blue Peter days when they had bog roll centres, cardboard, soap bottles and super fast setting glue for making stuff. For some reason we never had any of that knocking about to join in! How depressing for a child?

Having said that though, I was probably out torching all of it in the field somewhere!

I remember leaving card ones outside one night and it rained, card swelled and were a nightmare to get onto wrapper after.

Had cardboard centres in the past, just cut them in 2 and put them in the wood burning stove. Recycled [emoji106]

Carboard tubes filled with compost could grow some very long parsnips of carrots for a produce show. Or do you need even bigger tubes out of carpet rolls to compete with them now.

For a pirate themed cub scout camp we made a load into cannons with elastic inside to propelle sponges during the water fight. I have used a lot stood up to make an obsticle course for one scout to verbally guide the rest of the blindfolded patrol through without knocking them down.

the cardboard tubes are a right PITA especially on bale net

stopped using them for parsnips now as last year the were a wee bitty tight had a hell of a job getting some of the parsnips out as they'd wedg ed themselves tight reckon 4" drainpipe off cuts would be spot on though but I haven't any lying around. Will be keeping an eye out for any building work going on in the neighbourhood though

Happened to my supplier , 30 rolls with knackered tubes . bought them for fiver a roll then drilled the middle out with 3 inch holesaw .

I've cut them in half and fixed to a bit of 1" box section and welded to trailer drawbars at 45* to put pipes in

 

[Henarar]

I have used them on the calf creep on the bar that the calves go under to get in so its kinder to there back

 

[Nearly]

This has already been mentioned.

Same here but have to cut them in 4 to get them into stove, great for lighting it too.
