Purple Metropolitan Water Butt Planter 255L Decorative Rainwater Storage

The Purple Metropolitan Water Butt Planter is a bold and stylish rainwater harvesting solution that combines decorative planting with large-capacity water storage. With its eye-catching purple finish and sleek cylindrical design, this modern 2-in-1 water butt and planter creates a vibrant focal point in any garden while helping you collect and reuse rainwater efficiently.

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 plant growth while reducing reliance on mains water supplies.

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

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

For convenience, 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 completely or connected to additional water butts to expand your rainwater storage system.
