Orange Metropolitan Water Butt Planter 255L Decorative Rainwater Storage

The Orange Metropolitan Water Butt Planter is a vibrant and practical rainwater harvesting solution designed to combine decorative planting with high-capacity water storage. Featuring a bold orange finish and sleek cylindrical design, this modern 2-in-1 water butt and planter allows you to create a colourful garden feature while collecting rainwater for sustainable watering.

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

The integrated planter bowl at the top offers approximately 36 litres of planting capacity, providing ample space for seasonal flowers, herbs or decorative plants. This clever dual-purpose design transforms a functional water tank into an attractive garden feature that works perfectly in patios, courtyards, balconies and contemporary garden landscapes.

Manufactured in the UK from durable MDPE (Medium Density Polyethylene), the tank is rotationally moulded for strength and long-term outdoor performance. The material is UV-stabilised and frost-proof, ensuring the planter can 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 front outlet is ideal for attaching a tap and filling watering cans, while the lower outlet at the rear allows the tank to be drained fully or connected to additional water butts to expand your rainwater storage system.
