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.

Connect the hose: feed the hose through the hole in the water butt and secure it in place with a screw nut. Then attach the other end of the hose to the diverter. The amount of rainwater you can collect from your roof depends on its size and the local rainfall. As a rough guide, for every 1 square metre of roof, you can collect about 0.85 litres of water for every 1mm of rainfall.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.

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. 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. Garden Plants Online is committed to making things easy – bringing beautiful plants and trees direct to your door whilst keeping our delivery costs to a minimum. 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.
