Strata 100L Black Slimline Water Butt Set with Stand, Lid and Tap - Durable Rainwater Collector for Garden, Outdoor Use, and Eco-Friendly Water Storage

This arrived really quickly, very easy to assemble. Lovely size as its slim line. There is a little bit of leakage if you don’t keep an eye on how much water goes in but overall good quality. I’m impressed with the price and so I ordered another which is due to arrive for placement in another part of my property.

Ideal where there’s not a lot of room. Easy to install decent quality does the job

Nice sized water butt for watering the garden and saves me running hose pipes from the front of the house, or the expense of having a tap put at the back of the house.I actually bought a different diverter kit as I wanted it to blend in with my square downpipe, so won't review that. But the water butt itself looks nice and, being slim, it fits out of the way rather than being an eyesore on the patio. It did arrive rather dented thanks to the delivery driver throwing it over the gate! But the dents did pop out easily.The stand fits together easily. It feels a bit flimsy but I'm sure it will be fine when the water butt is filled.The reason I knocked it down to 4 stars is due to the tap which screws in upside down, so the threads haven't been made correctly. The photo shows how it screws in - completely unusable. I have tried to solve it by using the rubber washer that came with the diverter set and it is now facing downwards, so fingers crossed it won't leak!

I am struggling here to limit the amount of good things I have to say about this water butt. I could write a book. This is a lifesaver. Before I used to have to trail through the house, carrying heavy watering cans, it seemed to take forever. I have 7 hanging baskets and umpteen pots and tubs to water. Since getting the butt, my watering time has halved. It's so easy, and never seems to run dry. Collecting the rainwater has a lot of advatages, mainly rain water is better for the plants and most imortantly, it's free. This particukar Butt wad the cheapest Amazon had to offer, and after research, was the cheaoest on the market, and it included free delivery. This indeed was money well spent, and the deluvery wad extremely professiinal. I was sent an email giving me the approximate time and date, then on the day in question, another email wuth a more accurate ETA, even the name of the driver, (Doug). He arrived at the estimated time and even carried around to the back of my hiuse for me. Way beyond the call of duty. This meant that I was able to unpack it ready for my husband's friend Rob to connect it to my drainage pipe . All in all, I am extremely pleased with my purchase. One other thing worth mentioning. Other more expensive butts don't always come with the stand and accessories needed. These you have to buy seperately. This butt came with stand and everything you need to get up and running. Ut took all of 20 minutes to set up.Thankyou Amazon and please pass on my grattitude to the store and of ciuse to 'good ol' Doug. I would indeed highly recommend this product. 10/10

Great size for a smaller garden and does the job well though we used bricks to stand it on rather than the supports and needed a little gutter extension to fix it up. Works well and fits easily into a smaller space out of the way.

Really good value, delivered on time , and is reasonable priced .

Other reviews have pointed out that the 4-piece stand isn't ideal - you do need to have an absolutely flat surface underneath for it to sit properly. I had to dig the area up a bit and flatten with a spade, so that was a bit fiddly. You are also supposed to use a 26mm (?) drill bit to make the hole at the top for the pipe to connect - who has one of those? I used the largest bit I had, then basically hacked around with the drill and a penknife (!) till the hole was big enough to get the connector through.The last thing that caught me out was when I came to cut the downpipe and realised my hacksaw blade was totally blunted, so had to use a handsaw. It did the job, but the cut wasn't as straight/even as I'd have liked. Luckily the connecting unit covers the slightly uneven lines!These are all installation issues and not really flaws with the rainbutt itself - for the price it's a decent piece of kit, feels sturdy enough now it's in place. The tap went on easily enough (I put a bit of PTFE tape round the thread just to be on the safe side) and it sits neatly by my downpipe in the corner, near my hose connection. Now I just need to wait for it to rain :)

Good quality
