Easy-Access Dipping Water Butt
The Rustico Water Butt brings together the charm of a classic wooden planter with the durability of modern materials. Its deep walnut wood-grain finish blends beautifully with decking, cottage gardens, and natural outdoor settings.
Purpose-built as a dipping water butt, it features an extra-wide rim that allows you to dunk your watering can directly into the stored rainwater. No waiting for a slow tap to fill; simply dip, lift, and water. This makes daily watering faster, easier, and far more convenient.
Made from high-quality, UV-protected, weather-resistant polyethene, the Rustico offers the look of timber without the maintenance. It will not fade, crack, or warp, ensuring years of reliable use in all seasons.
For added safety, it includes a removable child-proof lid, secured with the supplied safety screw for complete peace of mind.
Free Delivery to Mainland UK.
Optional Extras — Rainwater Diverter
For best performance, we recommend the 3P Filter Collector Universal. This diverter connects the downpipe to the water butt using a 30cm hose and filters out debris before transferring clean rainwater into the tank. Suitable for roof areas up to 90m² (other diverters available for larger areas).
Also available with extended linking kits: 1m, 2m, or 5m lengths.

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.
