First, work out how often you’ll be using your water butt.

These water butts also usually have slimmer designs that take up less space.

After fitting the legs together, I cut a hole in my drain pipe, then fit the rain diverter, before drilling a hole in the water butt to fit the pipe. It’s a fairly simple process that’s pretty standard across all of the water butts that I tested.

On the plus side, this water butt comes with its tap already connected (not the case for most water butts), which saves a couple of minutes. It’s easy to see why this water butt appeals to such a wide range of people. It’s sleek enough to sit inconspicuously in the corner of small gardens, yet it’s also slim enough to be lined up in a row of connected water butts to contribute to a larger water storage system. It’s one of the best water butts if you’re after a slimline design.

Conserve rainwater for when your garden needs it most. The 210 litre traditional water butt also comes with a tap and lid.
