Water Butts
A water butt is the simplest way to start rainwater harvesting in the UK. By collecting rainwater directly from your downpipe, you can reduce reliance on treated mains water while keeping your garden naturally hydrated.
With increasing water costs and regular hosepipe restrictions across parts of the UK, installing a water butt is a practical, low-maintenance solution that delivers immediate benefits.
At OutdoorOutlet, our water butts are selected for durability and long-term outdoor performance. Manufactured from robust, UV-stabilised materials, they are designed to withstand British weather conditions year-round — not just seasonal use.
Our range includes:
- Barrel-style designs with classic appearance
- Decoritive-style
- Slimline water butts for narrow spaces
- 50 Litre to 480 Litre capacity options
Whether you’re watering flower beds, vegetable patches or greenhouses, a properly installed water butt can collect hundreds of litres from even a modest roof area.
Explore our full range below and choose a durable rainwater storage solution built for UK homes and gardens.
Choosing the Right Water Butt
1 - Selecting the correct size depends on your roof area and garden usage.
2 - 50–200L water butts – Ideal for small gardens and light watering needs.
3 - 200–750L models – Suitable for medium-sized gardens and regular use.
4 - Larger capacity options of 750L plus – Better for extended dry periods or linking multiple units together.
Many of our systems allow expansion, meaning you can connect additional water butts as your storage needs grow.
Why Install a Water Butt?
1 - Reduces mains water usage
2 - Lowers long-term water bills
3 - Supports sustainable gardening
4 - Provides resilience during dry spells
5 - Uses naturally soft rainwater that’s better for plants
Even in the UK climate, a single downpipe can collect substantial rainfall throughout the year.
Built for Long-Term Outdoor Use
Unlike thin seasonal plastic alternatives, our water butts are chosen for structural integrity and long-term performance. Designed for outdoor exposure, they offer strength, UV resistance and compatibility with standard UK guttering systems.
OutdoorOutlet specialises in engineered outdoor water systems — providing durable solutions rather than disposable garden accessories.
