Product Overview
The Large 350 Litre Garden Water Butt - Wood Effect Barrel by Roto. This beautifully crafted water butt is designed to blend seamlessly into your garden’s natural surroundings. With its realistic wood-effect finish and high-quality construction, there’s no need to hide it away, you’ll be proud to have it on display.
Made from durable, roto-moulded recycled polyethylene, the barrel is UV and frost-resistant, ensuring it maintains its appearance and performance year after year. It’s also much lighter than a traditional wooden barrel, making it easier to handle and position.
With a generous 350 litre capacity, it’s ideal for medium to large gardens, giving you and your plants the benefit of collected rainwater - a more sustainable alternative to tap water.
Why Choose This Water Butt?

Stand Offer:
To make full use of the 350 litre barrel, you'll need a stand. Without one, using only the upper outlet gives you access to 255 litres. By adding a stand, you can use the lower outlet and access the full 350 litres. Looking for more capacity? Consider upgrading to the newly developed 480 Litre Barrel. It has the same footprint as the 350L & Stand, but offers you an extra 130 litres of water storage - giving you more value for your money without taking up more space.
Transferring Water to the 350 Litre Water Butt:
Due to the large size of the 350 litre water butt, it’s important to ensure that the water entering it is filtered to remove leaves, moss, and other debris. Cleaning out a full barrel every few years can be an unpleasant task, so we recommend using either the Gutter Mate Diverter and Filter or the 3P Filter Collector to help keep your water butt cleaner for longer.
Once you've chosen a diverter, you'll need to consider the correct hole size. We recommend using a 25mm drill bit for the Gutter Mate, and a 32mm drill bit for the 3P Filter Collector, as both make the job much easier.
Place your water butt in position first, then mark the best location for the hole. Once ready, simply drill and install the diverter.
Available Sizes: These barrels are also available in various sizes, beginning with the smallest at 50L, followed by 140L, 240L, and 480L.
