250L Wood Effect Rain Barrel

The wood grain and old metal banding effects of these water butts was moulded from a vintage oak beer barrel, achieving a level of likeness to the real thing that will amaze!  These superb Water Butts are not only a great way of harvesting your rain water but also make for an attractive, rustic addition to your garden or decking.

Manufactured from UV resistant polyethylene, this wood effect rain barrel will not fade in sunlight, is weather resistant, rot-proof and will not dry out and crack in the sun. Some might even say the level of detailing looks better than a real thing and of course, it will last longer too.

This water butt features a brass ¾” connection point for the screw in metal tap (supplied) and two bottom side outlets for draining or connecting to another tank. There is also a removable lid for ease of access which features a child safety lock.

Optional Extras

Rainwater Diverter

We recommend installing the 3P Filter Collector Universal with your Wooden Barrel effect Water Butt. The Filter Collector connects your Water Butt to your Downpipe via a 30cm length of Hose and also filters the water, removing any debris, before transferring the water into the tank. The Filter Collector is ideal for roof areas up to 90m2 (other filters are available for larger roof areas).

The 3P Filter Collector Universal is also available with longer Water Butt to Downpipe linking kits (lengths of1m, 2m or 5m).

Tank to Tank Connection Kit

A Water Butt Linking Kit can be purchased to join two Water Tanks together using the lower 3/4" brass threaded ports.

How to link water tanks together

If you already have a wall tank or other water butt with a 3/4 inch BSP female threaded connection point near the base of the tank, you can connect them using the 3/4" Tank to Tank Connection Kit.

Winter Care Precautions

During extremely cold winters, when daytime temperatures are below zero for several days, it is wise to ensure that the tank is only about 2/3rd's full and the water supply is turned off. This will prevent the frozen water from expanding and damaging the tank.
