RHS Water Butt

How our RHS Water Butt is made

The RHS water butt has a different construction from our square water butts. The cylindrical body is formed from two curved pieces of 1.6mm galvanised steel sheet, bolted together and fixed to a spun galvanised steel base.

As with all our water butts, we fit a brass tap with a matt chrome finish and hose union as standard — brass rather than plastic, because the tap is the highest-wear component and should last as long as the water butt itself.

We can drill a hole in the body free of charge, to suit either an overflow pipe or the incoming supply from your chosen rainwater diverter kit. We place it where you want it — typically 5cm below the top. Let us know when ordering.

The water butt accepts a standard downpipe diverter kit (68mm round or 65mm square).

Finish: before despatch we treat the exterior with a specialist light acid that etches the bright galvanised surface and starts the weathering process. Wind, sun and rain then continue the job — the aged appearance develops naturally over the years in the garden.
