Grey Metropolitan Water Butt Planter 255L Decorative Rainwater Storage

The Grey Metropolitan Water Butt Planter is a modern and practical rainwater harvesting solution designed to combine decorative planting with high-capacity water storage. With its sleek cylindrical profile and contemporary grey finish, this stylish 2-in-1 water butt and planter allows you to grow flowers, herbs or ornamental plants while collecting rainwater for sustainable garden watering.

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

At the top of the tank is an integrated planter bowl providing approximately 36 litres of planting capacity, giving you plenty of space to create colourful displays of seasonal flowers, herbs or decorative plants. This clever dual-purpose design transforms a practical rainwater tank into a stylish garden feature that works perfectly in patios, balconies, courtyards and modern landscaped gardens.

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, allowing the water butt planter to withstand changing weather conditions while maintaining its colour and structural integrity.

For ease of use, 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.
