Product Description
Details
The 240L Garden Water Butt - Wood Effect Barrel by Roto is beautifully made to blend in with the natural surroundings of your garden. No need to hide this water butt away from visitors as its design and quality will make you proud to show it off.
The rain barrel is roto-moulded from highly durable polyethylene, which is frost and UV-resistant, meaning you won’t need to worry about weather damage and it will retain its colour and appearance over the years.
The 240L includes a tap for ease of use. You will need to buy a downpipe filter which provides an entry point for the water from your downpipe to the rain barrel. The filter will stop the unwanted leaves and dirt entering the rain barrel helping to stop clogging and contamination of the water. Once the rain barrel is full, the downpipe filter will redirect the excess water back down the drainpipe. At the bottom of the rain barrel, you are provided with a tap which allows to you fill your watering can.
The 240L is the perfect size for a medium size garden. Both you and your plants will benefit from using rainwater instead of tap water.
Key Product Features:
- Five-year warranty for your peace of mind.
- UV resistant so it will not fade in the sun.
- Lightweight compared to wood, making it easier to move around the garden.
- Made from heavy duty polyethylene which is strong plastic that is impact resistant.
- Two locations for a tap allowing you to place on or off a stand.
- The lid can act as a bird bath, as it collects water which is only around 1" deep; allowing birds to safely drink and bathe in it.
Available Barrel Sizes:
Why should I collect rainwater?
- Collecting free rainwater allows you to reduce your water bill and provides water which is free from chlorine - a chemical added to drinking water that inhibits plant growth. Another benefit of storing rainwater outside is the natural temperature of the water, which will not shock your plants like cold water from a tap can do.
Connecting Rain Barrels and Water Butts together:
- If you decide that you want to connect your rain barrels together at the start or in the future, this is not a problem. All you need to do is run a connecting pipe between both barrels which allows the water to pass between them both. You only need to have one filter for both barrels or water butts as this is connected to your guttering downpipe.

Took delivery of this water butt 4 weeks ago and last night/this morning got its first christening with that rare commodity called rain. Found lid floating on the butt as I had the diverter set to the wrong position.Overall score
Looks the business stood at the front of the house. Very realistic! (Posted on 05/06/2020) - Large Barrel

We wanted a large opening at the top of a water butt to dip the watering can in, as I'm to impatient to wait for it to fill. This barrel was perfect for it. If you want a water butt that looks like a barrel with a large top opening, take a look at this one. H (Posted on 21/05/2020)Overall score - Water Butt

We like the look and feel of the water butt, it looks like a real barrel. I gave it 4 stars as we had to drill the hole for the water to come into the barrel. It would have been nice if this was done for us. When we spoke with the sales staff they said it's due to customers needing the holes in different places, which I can understand.

We had to wait 4 days for the item to come into stock, but they kept me up to date with this. We waited as we could not find another barrel we wanted and glad we did. We ordered two of these and was surprised with how much they looked like wood. We have set them up with the guttermate diverter which has filled the barrels quickly.

Really happy with my water butt and stand. I needed a larger not so ugly butt for my garden. Thought it might be too big, needn't have worried This one has blended in perfectly. Ordering was quick and easy. (Posted on 25/06/2019)Overall score - Looks Great, works perfectly

We bought this oak barrel back in the winter and have only just set it up this spring, already it's half full and looks great in our garden!Overall score
Really easy to use and the tap is very secure so I've had no issues with leaking or water flow. Looks really natural and works like a charm.
