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

Product Information

The C24 is suitable to irrigate one of the stated maximum planting quantities, or a combination thereof. This water butt’s biggest draw is its slimline design . Not only does this mean that it doesn’t take up much room, but it also gives it a sleeker look , as opposed to the larger and chunkier water butts out there. However, its compact construction does also mean that its storage capacity is limited to 100 litres – whether or not this is enough for you will depend on what you need a water butt for. 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.

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. An included stand – not all water butts come with a stand, but most of the time you’ll find that one is necessary. Unless the water butt is very large and rigid, a stand should be used to protect the tank and help it stay upright. Another reason why a stand is so important is that it makes it possible to fit a watering can underneath the tap. Without a stand, the tap will generally be too close to the floor. 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. 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.In my opinion, this water butt offers fantastic value for money . It may cost slightly more than some of the slimline designs out there, but it’s able to hold over double the amount of water, which makes it well worth spending a little extra on. The fact that it comes with a filler kit and legs is also handy, and I like that it’s made from recycled plastic.

There’s no denying that most of the water butts available on the market look pretty drab and boring, but the Sankey 150l Beehive Water Butt shows that this doesn’t always need to be the case. An instant attention-grabber, this water butt is easy easily one of the best water butts in terms of aethetics.The best water butts have a good capacity without being overbearing in the garden. Certain things can be useful to look out for: Another important consideration when it comes to size is: can a watering can fit underneath the tap? The diverter then automatically shuts off the flow to the water butt when full. Collecting rainwater with the Gutter Mate is both simple and efficient, whether you are saving rainwater to a water butt, tank or a full rainwater harvesting system. First, work out how often you’ll be using your water butt. If you plan on filling a watering can a few times a week, then a 100 litre water butt would probably suffice, considering that the average watering can holds 10 litres. These water butts also usually have slimmer designs that take up less space. 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.
