Red Midi Metropolitan Water Butt Planter 165L Decorative Rainwater Storage

The Red Midi Metropolitan Water Butt Planter is a striking and practical rainwater harvesting solution designed to combine decorative garden styling with efficient water storage. With its bold red finish and contemporary cylindrical design, this innovative 2-in-1 water butt and planter allows you to grow flowers or herbs while collecting rainwater for sustainable garden watering.

With a generous 165-litre rainwater storage capacity, the Midi Metropolitan planter collects rainwater directly from your roof guttering system via a downpipe diverter. This stored rainwater can then be reused for watering plants, flower beds and vegetable gardens, helping reduce reliance on mains water while promoting eco-friendly gardening practices.

The integrated planter bowl at the top provides space for flowers, herbs or ornamental plants, transforming the water butt into an attractive garden feature. Its sleek design makes it ideal for patios, balconies, courtyards and smaller gardens, where space is limited but style is important.

Manufactured in the UK from durable Medium Density Polyethylene (MDPE), the tank is rotationally moulded for strength and long-term outdoor performance. The opaque material helps reduce algae growth by limiting sunlight entering the water reservoir, ensuring cleaner stored water.

For ease of use, the planter includes two ½" BSP threaded outlets. The raised front outlet is positioned for filling watering cans, while the lower outlet allows the tank to be fully drained or connected to additional water butts to expand your rainwater storage system.
