Midi Metropolitan Water Butt Planters FAQ

Below you'll find answers to the most common questions about our Midi Metropolitan Water Butt Planters collection. If you need further help, our team is always on hand to assist.

What is a Midi Metropolitan Water Butt Planter?

The Midi Metropolitan Water Butt Planter is a dual-purpose unit that collects and stores rainwater while also functioning as a planter on top. It offers a compact, practical solution for sites where water conservation and limited space are both considerations.

What capacity do the Midi Metropolitan Water Butt Planters hold?

The Midi models are a mid-sized option in the Metropolitan range. For exact litre capacities, please check the individual product listing on our website, as specifications can vary between models in the collection.

Are these water butts suitable for commercial or industrial sites?

Yes. While they are popular in domestic settings, the Midi Metropolitan Water Butt Planters are also well suited to commercial premises, construction welfare areas, and facility grounds where rainwater harvesting is beneficial. Their compact footprint makes them practical for sites with limited outdoor space.

What materials are the Midi Metropolitan Water Butt Planters made from?

They are manufactured from durable, UV-stabilised plastic designed to withstand outdoor conditions year-round. This makes them resistant to cracking, fading, and frost damage over extended use.

Do the planters come with a tap and downpipe diverter kit?

Product inclusions vary by listing, so please check each product page for details on what is supplied. Many models in the collection include a tap and diverter kit, but it is always worth confirming before ordering.

How much does delivery cost, and how long does it take?

We offer flat-rate UK delivery at £12 on all orders. Delivery times depend on stock availability, but we pride ourselves on fast, dependable nationwide dispatch. If you need a specific delivery date, get in touch and we will do our best to accommodate you.

Can I order multiple units for a larger project?

Absolutely. If you are a contractor or procurement team ordering in bulk, please contact us directly. We can discuss quantities, lead times, and stage payment options to suit your project requirements.

Are stage payment options available on these products?

Yes, we offer stage payment options on orders. This can be especially helpful for larger purchases or ongoing projects. Contact our team to discuss the arrangement that works best for you.

How do I install the Midi Metropolitan Water Butt Planter?

Installation is straightforward. The unit is positioned beneath a downpipe, and a diverter kit (if included or purchased separately) redirects rainwater into the butt. We recommend placing it on a firm, level surface to ensure stability when full. Full fitting instructions are provided with the product.

Can the collected rainwater be used for any purpose?

Collected rainwater is ideal for irrigation, washing down equipment, and general non-potable uses around a site. It is not suitable for drinking. For applications requiring treated water, a separate filtration or treatment system would be needed.

What colours and styles are available in this collection?

The Midi Metropolitan range is available in a selection of colours and finishes. Browse the collection page to see current options. If you have a specific requirement, contact us and we will confirm availability.
