210 litre Water Butt, complete with stand, filler & tap

Product Information

A few hours after setting up this water butt, I was rewarded with a night of heavy rain, so I was able to put it to use the very next day. If you’ve set the water butt up in a very windy location, you could potentially tie a strap around it to keep it sturdy – the indents in the design should make this easy. The C24 is suitable to irrigate one of the stated maximum planting quantities, or a combination thereof. Water butts offer an eco-friendly way to keep your plants hydrated. Instead of using fresh water from the tap, water butts collect and store rainwater ready for use. If you’re eco-conscious, consider what the water butt is made from. Designs produced in the UK from high-density recycled plastic tend to feel stronger and more robust , while also being kinder to the environment.

However, this plastic water butt does come with the necessary indents that show you where to drill new holes if you would like to connect multiple water butts together. It also comes with four plastic legs that raise the water butt up off the ground. The water diverter connects to the downpipe of a drainage system. It diverts some of the run-off rainwater away from the main drainage route and into the water butt.

Some water butts do not come with a base, which can make it difficult to fit a watering can under the tap if the water butt is small. Take note of how high the tap is when buying a water butt. However, for more heavy-duty use, go for a larger 200-300 litre design. Don’t forget that you also have the option of connecting multiple water butts together , so long as the design of each water butt allows for this (most of the traditionally-styled ones do).

If it doesn’t come with a base you should consider buying one separately. Not only will it help with filling a watering can, it will also help retain the shape of the water butt. Fits standard 68mm round and 65mm square downpipes. This covers the majority of domestically used downpipes, including square.Another important consideration when it comes to size is: can a watering can fit underneath the tap?

If you don’t mind splurging on a water butt because you want to add to the visual appeal of your garden, and are happy to spend a little more purchasing all of the extras (the filler kit and the stand), then I would say it’s worth it. However, if you’re on a tighter budget and prioritise function over form, then there are other water butts out there that provide better value for money. This 3 Part Space Saver Water Butt Stand is made from a high quality plastic and makes an ideal addition to this water butt. Recommended uses include watering pots, raised beds, hanging baskets, vegetables, greenhouses and more. At first glance, the Strata 100L Slimline Water Butt Set looks near-identical to some of the other slimline designs available on the market. However, dive in a little deeper and you’ll notice that there are a few subtle differences that set this model apart from its competition. Small water butts are most suited to small gardens and gardens without many plants. You may need to supplement the water from the butt with some from the mains tap if it doesn’t hold enough water for your garden.This water butt comes with all of the necessary accessories – three legs and a rain diverter kit. Unlike some of the other water butts that I reviewed, this one had a full set of instructions too, which made setting it up a breeze. The two main benefits of a water butt are that they keep your water bill down by making use of recycled water, and they benefit plants because the water is free from chemicals like chlorine. Its slimline design means that this water butt is taller and narrower than a traditional water butt which saves a fair bit of space. The best water butts have a good capacity without being overbearing in the garden. Certain things can be useful to look out for: Fit the rubberised splash seal to the top section of pipe, then connect the diverter between the two sections. Make sure that the outlet hole is at the bottom. Then pull the splash seal down over the join.
