🌿 www.rainwater-terrace.com

Every week at Rainwater Terrace, our small, dedicated team rolls up their sleeves and gets stuck into every corner of the business. From designing innovative rainwater harvesting solutions to carefully packing your orders in our bustling warehouse, we do it all and we love it.

Why We’re So Busy – And Proud of It

Throughout spring, summer and autumn, our warehouse is a hive of activity, sending out thousands of beautifully designed water butts to happy customers across the UK. Whether you're in the heart of the city or tucked away in a rural village, our goal is simple: help you collect, store, and re-use rainwater while creating something beautiful for your garden or patio.

Our water butts aren’t just practical – they’re purposeful, eco-conscious, and designed to last. That’s why every unit shipped from our warehouse is packed with care, by a team who believes in what they do.

What It’s Like Behind the Scenes at Rainwater Terrace

Our business may be small, but our impact is big. Here’s what goes on behind those warehouse doors:

💧 Design & Innovation

Every Rainwater Terrace system is designed and developed in-house in the UK. We’re constantly refining our modular water butt systems and accessories to make them easier to install, more efficient at collecting rainwater, and even more stylish for modern gardens.

📦 Packing & Dispatch

We don’t just oversee the packing process we do it ourselves. Everyone on the team, from marketing to design, spends time in the warehouse. We know what it takes to make sure your order arrives on time and in perfect condition.

📞 Customer Service

We pride ourselves on offering personal, friendly support. If you call or email us, you're speaking to someone who knows the product inside-out and genuinely wants to help you get the best out of it.

💡 Sustainability at Our Core

We believe that every drop saved makes a difference. Our systems are made from UV-stable, high-quality plastic, built to last for years reducing waste and cutting down the need for mains water in your garden. And because our products double up as planters, they also contribute to a greener, more vibrant outdoor space.
