Why Rainwater Terrace Water Butts Are Still Going Strong After 10 Years

At Rainwater Terrace, we’re proud to design and manufacture water butts that truly stand the test of time. In fact, some of our earliest customers are still using their Rainwater Terrace systems 10 years later a testament to the product's durability, design, and long-term value.

Built to Last, Designed to Be Repaired

Unlike many water butts that end up in landfill after just a few seasons, Rainwater Terrace water butts are modular, meaning individual components can be easily replaced as they wear out. This makes our system eco-friendly, cost-effective, and built for the future.

Over the past decade, the only replacements many customers have needed are consumable parts such as:

  • ✅ Drain Tubes – which ensure smooth water flow and are easy to swap out.

  • ✅ Capillary Mat Kits – the clever pieces that help keep our planters perfectly watered using harvested rain.

By offering affordable spare parts, our customers can refresh and maintain their water butt systems rather than replacing them entirely. That’s not just practical it’s better for the environment, too.

Local, Sustainable, and Thoughtfully Made

Every Rainwater Terrace is proudly manufactured in the UK. We care deeply about reducing carbon emissions, supporting local supply chains, and making it easier for households to live more sustainably.

Our eco credentials don’t stop there:

  • ♻️ Minimised plastic waste through modular part replacement

  • 🌱 Encouragement of home-growing and wildlife-friendly gardening

  • 🚚 Efficient distribution from our UK-based warehouse to reduce mileage
