185 Litre Water Butts – Just Water Midi Metro

The 185 Litre Just Water Midi Metro Water Butts are a stylish and practical rainwater harvesting solution designed for modern gardens. Combining compact design with efficient water storage, these cylindrical water butts provide an excellent way to collect and reuse natural rainwater while enhancing the appearance of your outdoor space.

Designed to sit neatly beside a wall, fence or garden building, the Midi Metro range features a sleek vertical profile that saves space without compromising on storage capacity. With a 185-litre reservoir, these water butts provide a reliable supply of rainwater for watering plants, garden beds and containers during dry weather.

Rainwater harvesting is one of the easiest ways to make your garden more sustainable. By collecting rainfall from roof guttering through a standard diverter, Midi Metro water butts provide a free and environmentally friendly water source that helps reduce reliance on mains water while promoting healthier plant growth.

Compact and Stylish Rainwater Storage

The Just Water Midi Metro range is designed with both aesthetics and functionality in mind. Unlike traditional bulky water tanks, these water butts feature a modern cylindrical design that blends seamlessly into patios, courtyards and landscaped gardens.

Despite their compact footprint, Midi Metro water butts provide substantial storage capacity. With a height of around 940 mm and a diameter of approximately 590 mm, they offer a balanced combination of space-saving design and practical rainwater collection.

Typical specifications include:

Capacity: approx. 185 litres
Height: approx. 940 mm
Diameter: approx. 590 mm
Base Diameter: approx. 470 mm
Weight: approx. 7 kg
Outlets: 2 × ½" BSP threaded outlets

This slim vertical design allows the water butt to sit neatly against walls or downpipes while still providing enough stored rainwater for everyday garden watering.

Ideal for Patios, Small Gardens and Urban Spaces

The Midi Metro water butt is particularly well suited to smaller gardens, patios and urban outdoor spaces where space may be limited. Its compact footprint allows it to be positioned easily beside a building or fence while remaining accessible for filling watering cans.

The raised threaded outlet located near the front of the water butt allows you to attach a brass tap at a convenient height for watering cans. A second outlet near the base can be used for draining the tank or connecting additional water butts if you want to increase your rainwater storage capacity.

This flexibility allows homeowners to start with a single unit and expand their rainwater harvesting system as needed.

Durable Construction for Long-Term Outdoor Use

Just Water Midi Metro water butts are manufactured from high-quality MDPE (Medium Density Polyethylene), a strong and durable material designed specifically for outdoor water storage. This material is widely used in rainwater tanks because it offers excellent resistance to weather, impact and UV exposure.

The tanks are rotationally moulded during manufacturing, creating a seamless structure that maintains its shape even when filled with water. This construction method ensures strength and durability while keeping the water butt lightweight and easy to handle.

The material is also frost-resistant and UV-stabilised, meaning the water butt can remain outdoors all year round without cracking or fading. Opaque plastic construction helps reduce sunlight penetration, which can limit algae growth inside the tank.
