About Garden Water Butts

Garden Water Butts is an independent UK site all about catching and using rainwater in the garden. We started it because buying a water butt should be simple, but the choice of sizes, shapes, fittings and accessories can be surprisingly confusing.

What we do

We bring together water butts, rainwater tanks and the bits you need to fit them, sorted into clear categories such as slimline water butts, large water butts and rain diverters. Alongside that, we write plain-English guides on choosing the right size, fitting a butt to your downpipe and keeping the water fresh.

How we choose products

We look at what’s available from UK sellers on Amazon and pick out products that are a good match for each category, paying attention to capacity, what’s included in the box, how it connects to a downpipe and price. We don’t test every product by hand, so we always recommend checking the full details and the latest customer reviews on Amazon before you buy.

How we make money

When you click through to Amazon and buy something, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. That’s what keeps the site running. It never changes the price you pay. You can read more in our affiliate disclosure.
