Cosmo Mini Water Butt Planters
Cosmo Mini Water Butt Planters combine rainwater harvesting with stylish garden design. These 2-in-1 water butt planters let you collect rainwater while growing flowers, herbs, or plants in the built-in planter top. They suit modern gardens, patios, and smaller outdoor spaces. As a result, they give you an attractive, eco-friendly way to store rainwater for everyday garden use. Etills supplies each unit for both looks and function. For larger water storage needs, see our Polyethylene Water Tanks — 75 to 1000 Litres.
These compact rainwater tanks store up to 150 litres. Therefore, they work well for watering plants, lawns, and vegetable beds. They also help reduce your reliance on mains water. Furthermore, their design means you do not need to hide them behind a shed or fence. Instead, they become a feature in your outdoor space, available in a range of colours and finishes.
Stylish and Space-Saving Rainwater Storage
Cosmo Mini Water Butt Planters suit gardens where space is tight. Their slim, compact shape lets them sit neatly against walls, fences, or garden buildings. Each unit has a planter bowl at the top. You can grow flowers or plants there to improve the look of your garden. The water tank below stores rainwater from your roof guttering via a standard downpipe diverter.
With a 150 litre capacity, these tanks give you a useful water source during dry spells or hosepipe bans. Moreover, their vertical design takes up very little ground space, making them ideal for small patios and courtyards.
Decorative and Practical Garden Feature
Unlike standard water barrels, Cosmo Mini water butt planters work as a visible part of your garden. Their sleek shape and textured finish create a modern look. They suit patios, courtyards, and landscaped gardens well. In addition, the built-in planter lets you refresh your display each season by planting flowers, herbs, or ornamental plants in the top. Consequently, your rainwater tank also doubles as a garden planter.
Durable Build and Easy Installation
Cosmo Mini Water Butt Planters use durable MDPE (Medium Density Polyethylene). This material handles outdoor weather well. The tanks are UV-stabilised and frost-resistant. As a result, they keep their shape and colour through all seasons. The opaque material also limits sunlight getting in, which reduces algae growth inside the tank.
Installation is simple. You connect the water butt to a gutter downpipe using a rainwater diverter kit. Once in place, rainwater flows into the tank. Excess water continues through the drainage system as normal.
