Last Chance to Save: Why Spring Is the Best Time to Install a Water Butt in the UK
If you’ve been thinking about installing a water butt, this is your moment. With April showers arriving and gardens coming back to life, there’s no better time to start harvesting rainwater and with 20% off water butts until midnight Wednesday 8th April, it’s the perfect opportunity to act before summer hits.
In this follow-up to our Easter gardening guide, we’re diving deeper into why spring installation is key, how rainwater harvesting can transform your garden, and why so many UK households are switching to smarter, more sustainable watering solutions.

Why Install a Water Butt in Spring?
Spring in the UK brings consistent rainfall, making it the ideal season to start collecting and storing water. By installing a water butt now, you can:
- Capture free rainwater during peak rainfall months
- Build up reserves before hosepipe bans and dry spells
- Reduce reliance on expensive mains water
- Prepare your garden for healthy summer growth
Many homeowners wait until summer but by then, you’ve already missed weeks (or months) of valuable rainfall.
Save Money Before Summer Water Bills Rise
Water costs continue to increase across the UK, and watering your garden during summer can quickly add up.
A rainwater harvesting system allows you to:
- Water plants, lawns, and containers for free
- Reduce your household water usage
- Cut down on metered water bills
Installing a water butt now means you’ll feel the financial benefit within months, especially during warmer weather when water usage peaks.
Healthier Plants Love Rainwater
It’s not just about saving money your plants will thank you too.
Rainwater is naturally softer than tap water and free from added chemicals like chlorine. This makes it ideal for:
- Flower beds and borders
- Vegetable patches and herbs
- Potted plants and hanging baskets
Gardeners often notice stronger growth and healthier plants when switching to rainwater.
