Sandstone Metropolitan Water Butt Planter 255L Decorative Rainwater Storage

The Sandstone Metropolitan Water Butt Planter is a stylish and practical rainwater harvesting solution designed to enhance your garden while helping you conserve water. Featuring a natural sandstone stone-effect finish and a sleek cylindrical design, this modern 2-in-1 water butt and planter allows you to grow flowers or herbs while collecting rainwater for sustainable garden watering.

With a generous 255-litre rainwater storage capacity, the Metropolitan planter collects rainfall from your roof guttering via a standard downpipe diverter and stores it for everyday garden use. Rainwater is naturally soft and ideal for watering plants, helping promote healthier growth while reducing reliance on mains water supplies.

At the top of the tank is a large integrated planter bowl offering approximately 36 litres of planting capacity, giving you plenty of space for colourful seasonal flowers, herbs or decorative plants. This clever dual-purpose design transforms a functional water tank into an attractive garden feature that works perfectly on patios, courtyards, balconies and modern garden landscapes.

Manufactured in the UK from high-quality MDPE (Medium Density Polyethylene), the tank is rotationally moulded for exceptional strength and durability. The material is UV-stabilised and frost-resistant, ensuring the planter can withstand harsh weather conditions while maintaining its colour and structural integrity.

For convenience, the planter includes two ½" BSP threaded outlets. The raised outlet at the front is ideal for attaching a 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.
