2 Tier 134 Litre Water Butt With Planters by Rainwater Terrace

Lovely modular system that is easy to assemble. The tubes that show you how full it is are a great idea. We have a one tier from the greenhouse and a two tier from the house. Looking forward to filling the planters in the spring.

The Water butt is a very nifty piece of kit and because it can be decorated with plants it can be placed at the front of the house where the majority of the wall and hanging baskets are. It is quite large and so getting the right plants to mask it is important, but so far I am very pleased with it. The first day it was in place a passing couple came to compliment me on it and took an interest in it with a view to getting one themselves. I agree with the other reviewer's suggestion that a blanking plug should be provided for the unused drain tube hole in the base - I made one myself to do the job. Also, perhaps an option for a narrow planter to sit in front of the base and a means of fastening could be designed. This would enable more plants to be used to mask the butt.
I can also strongly recommend Rainwater Terrace, where I bought it from, for their excellent customer service.

The rainwater butt arrived on time sturdily packaged with a straight forward set of instructions to get it installation started. The butt has had its first in-flow of rain which has filled the top tier and overflowed to partly fill the lower tier. The planters look really good now filled with a mix of flowering plants, although the top planting tray isn't very deep so the larger plant that I had for the centre of the tray was left in its pot and the rest of the plants fitted around it. The tubes for filling watering cans work really well providing a rapid water flow. My only recommendation would be the provision of a blanking plug for the un-used drain tube hole in the base, to stop the base becoming a nest for vermin. Apart from that I'm very pleased with the rainwater terrace.

Really pleased with our rainwater terrace, assembly was straightforward, although I did not have the strength to attach the drain tubes, my other half managed. We’ve had a lot of rain since and it’s great to know we have water for the garden without having to worry if it will overflow. Still need to plant it up, but already looks great as is.

This was dispatched quickly and I have just connected it and planted it up. it is very easy to assemble and with all the rain we have had I can say that it all works well. Looks great at the front of the house which means I no longer have to carry my watering can through the house to water the plants in the front garden.
