Midi Metropolitan Water Butt Planters

Midi Metropolitan Water Butt Planters

Midi Metropolitan Water Butt Planters combine decorative garden design with practical rainwater harvesting, offering an innovative way to collect and reuse rainwater while enhancing your outdoor space. These modern 2-in-1 water butt planters feature a sleek cylindrical shape with an integrated planter bowl at the top, allowing you to grow flowers or herbs while storing rainwater for everyday garden watering.

With a generous 165-litre storage capacity, the Midi Metropolitan planter provides a reliable supply of naturally soft rainwater that is ideal for watering plants, flower beds and vegetable gardens. Collected rainwater is often better for plants than treated tap water and helps reduce reliance on mains water supplies.

These planters are designed to be both functional and attractive, making them perfect for patios, courtyards, balconies and smaller gardens where space is limited but style still matters. The integrated planter bowl allows you to create seasonal displays of flowers or greenery, turning a practical water tank into a decorative garden feature.

Decorative Rainwater Harvesting for Modern Gardens

The Midi Metropolitan range offers a contemporary approach to rainwater storage. Unlike traditional water butts that are often hidden behind sheds or fences, these stylish planters are designed to be visible features in your garden.

Each planter includes a spacious planting bowl above the rainwater reservoir, allowing you to grow decorative plants while the tank below collects rainwater from your roof guttering system via a downpipe diverter. This dual-purpose design makes it easy to incorporate rainwater harvesting into modern garden layouts.

With their slim cylindrical shape and modern finishes, Midi Metropolitan water butt planters work well in landscaped gardens, patios and contemporary outdoor spaces.

A Stylish and Practical Garden Feature

The integrated planter bowl provides space for flowers, herbs or ornamental plants, making the water butt a decorative focal point in your garden. You can change the planting throughout the year to suit the seasons, creating a fresh garden display while still benefiting from the water storage below.

The planter bowl itself has a 23-litre planting capacity, giving you plenty of space to create colourful displays or grow herbs for outdoor cooking areas.

Durable Construction and Smart Design

Midi Metropolitan Water Butt Planters are manufactured from durable Medium Density Polyethylene (MDPE), a robust material designed for long-term outdoor use. The tanks are rotationally moulded for strength and durability, ensuring they maintain their shape even when filled with water.

The opaque material also helps reduce algae growth by limiting sunlight entering the tank, keeping stored rainwater cleaner for longer.

Each planter includes two ½" BSP threaded outlets. A raised front outlet allows easy filling of watering cans, while a lower outlet can be used for draining the tank or linking multiple water butts together to increase overall rainwater storage capacity.
