Rainwater Terrace Water Butt, 2 tier, 134 Litre, Black

A very comprehensively filled box delivered by Amazon. After some head scratching over the instruction booklet the butt was quickly assembled and ready for action. Yes you can spend less money for a water butt but by the time you've added a pedestal and tap is it really so much cheaper? And with the Rainwater Terrace you have so much more functionality. We have our butt positioned just outside the kitchen door so it's easy to recycle any clean water (thinking running the hot tap to fire up combi boiler here). Also think it's important to buy British in the new 'normal' of 2020.

Ok it's main function is as a water butt and for that purpose its rather expensive when compared to its competitors Butt (sic) a lot of thought has gone into the design of this. With a few well chosen plants this will enhance any corner or wall it is up against and not become an eyesore as a lot of butts are. To begin with it comes in a box that approx 2 by 2 by 2 foot so it is easy to handle. The instructions are very easy to understand and provided that where you are placing it is exactly level (a 2 by 2 paving slab is ideal) the only tools you will need is a drill and screwdriver for the safety clip and a saw to cut the downpipe to fit the diverter. If I have any complaint its that the diverter pipe was a touch small but thats an easy matter to solve. As with other water butts you can have a number of these butts side by side with a simple joining pipe (sold separately) or you can install another section on top (Max 3 tiers) In short I'm very happy with this purchase. :)

My (large) parcel was delivered to the wrong address, which DPD acknowledged was a mistake, but didn’t put matters right, leaving it to me collect. Sarah at Rainwater Terrace couldn’t have been more helpful, so it’s five stars for customer service, five stars for product but zero stars for DPD.

I really like this water butt, good design easy to installed but has developed a leak .... have empty and re connected hoses still an issue ... one more try today

Just what I needed with all the hot weather we’ve had looks great too with plants on.

I've brought this from a high street store in June 2018 - and had been really pleased with it, until the last couple of weeks! 2 weeks ago we noticed that all the water had disappeared from the top tier (and it had been completely full from all the rain we had had earlier in the year). My husband took it apart and discovered that around the reinforcing struts the unit had developed cracks - and now 2 weeks later the bottom tier has now got a split as well. He has now tried to repair with sealant and we'll see how that goes - but currently wishing we'd just brought a cheap waterbutt as this is too expensive for 18 months (and annoying to go into summer with no store of water!).

Brilliant product and just what we were looking for. can't believe more variations of this aren't on the market. Would certainly recommend to anyone

Looks good, easy to install. Collects water.
