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

Product Information

It’s easy to see why this water butt appeals to such a wide range of people. It’s sleek enough to sit inconspicuously in the corner of small gardens, yet it’s also slim enough to be lined up in a row of connected water butts to contribute to a larger water storage system. It’s one of the best water butts if you’re after a slimline design. 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. We can also supply a water butt link kit here at a small cost, allowing you a physically join your two water butts. Another important consideration when it comes to size is: can a watering can fit underneath the tap? 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.

Did you know that a water butt could save you bout 30,000 million litres of water every summer, enough to fill an entire reservoir. 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. 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. 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.The best water butts have a good capacity without being overbearing in the garden. Certain things can be useful to look out for: You need to make sure that your water butt is protected against the elements. In the winter, you can use materials like bubble wrap to insulate it to stop ice forming. However, ideally you want to invest in a water butt made from UV- resistant materials. The good news is that all of our Water butts come with a UV protected coating, giving you peace of mind when bad weather strikes. Do these features make this Strata model worth buying? Well, I put this water butt to the test and identified it as one of the best water butts if you’re after a great value model – read on to find out why!

After initially setting up this plastic water butt, it felt a little wobbly. Mine was standing on rough ground, and even though I had levelled this out before setting the water butt up, the legs didn’t quite seem as though they would hold up to the job. Water butts are a completely free way of harvesting rainwater, thus helping to keep your water bills down. This is especially beenficial if you are on a water meter, and need to be conservative eith the amount of water you are using. On average, spraying plants with water uses 4-6 litres per day. That adds up over time!

Be in the know

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. One thing to keep in mind is that all of the connections for this water butt fit pretty tightly together – in many ways, this is a good thing, but it does also mean that you’ll need to use a fair bit of strength to connect it all.

Water butts are also an eco-conscious choice. By collecting rainwater, you can reduce the amount of water that runs off your property and into the sewer system. This not only conserves water resources but also helps to prevent flooding and erosion. Additionally, by using rainwater instead of mains water for activities such as watering your garden, you can reduce your carbon footprint and do your part to combat climate change. 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). Large capacity water butts can take up a fair bit of space, which is why the Charles Bentley Ward 210L Round Plastic Water Butt Set, which promises a compact and easy-to-use design, may catch your eye. But is it worth buying? Keep reading to see why I’ve chosen it as the best medium water butt. 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.

My Top Recommended Water Butts

Also, unlike the other water butts that I reviewed, where the downfill pipe attached into the side of the water butt, this one connects via its lid . This is unusual, but neither good nor bad.
