What Is Rainwater Harvesting?

Rainwater harvesting is the process of collecting and storing rainwater from rooftops via downpipes into containers like rainwater butts, ready for use when water is needed most. In the UK, with its regular rainfall, this system is ideal for gardeners, allotment owners, and eco-conscious households looking to reduce their water bills and reliance on mains water.

Why Now Is the Best Time to Start Saving Rainwater

Right now, the UK is experiencing one of the wettest starts to summer on record. Don’t let that water go to waste – put it to good use by collecting it in a Rainwater Terrace water butt system.

Rainwater Is Better for Your Plants

Collected rainwater is naturally soft and free from chemicals like chlorine, which are found in mains water. Your garden plants, vegetables, and flower beds will thrive with fresh rainwater – and so will your soil structure.

Eco-Friendly and Stylish Water Butts

Unlike standard water butts, Rainwater Terrace systems are designed to be modular, decorative, and highly efficient. With multi-level planters, fast-flow taps, and sleek designs, they fit beautifully into both modern and traditional gardens.

How Much Rainwater Can You Collect?

In the UK, even a small roof can collect thousands of litres of water each year. For example:

  • A 10m² roof can collect 6,000 litres annually in average UK rainfall

  • That’s enough to water your garden all summer long – for free!
