Millstone Metropolitan Water Butt Planter 255L Decorative Rainwater Storage

The Millstone Metropolitan Water Butt Planter is a stylish and practical rainwater harvesting solution that combines decorative planting with large-capacity water storage. Finished in a natural millstone stone-effect colour, this contemporary 2-in-1 water butt and planter adds a modern feature to your garden while helping you collect and reuse rainwater efficiently.

With a generous 255-litre reservoir capacity, the Metropolitan planter collects rainfall from your roof guttering through a standard downpipe diverter and stores it for later use around the garden. Rainwater is naturally soft and perfect for watering flowers, shrubs and vegetable beds, helping plants thrive while reducing reliance on mains water.

At the top of the tank is an integrated planter bowl offering approximately 36 litres of planting space, allowing you to create colourful displays of flowers, herbs or ornamental plants. This dual-purpose design transforms a functional rainwater tank into an attractive garden feature that works perfectly on patios, balconies, courtyards and modern garden landscapes.

Manufactured in the UK from durable MDPE (Medium Density Polyethylene), the tank is rotationally moulded for strength and long-term reliability. The material is UV-stabilised and frost-resistant, ensuring the planter can withstand harsh weather conditions while maintaining its colour and structure.

For ease of use, the planter includes two ½" BSP threaded outlets. The raised front outlet is ideal for attaching a brass tap and filling watering cans, while the lower outlet at the rear allows the tank to be drained completely or connected to additional water butts to expand your rainwater storage system.
