200 Litre Water Butts

The 200 to 250 litre water butt is the classic garden size. It holds enough to keep beds and borders going through a dry spell, yet it still fits neatly beside most back doors and garages.

Look for a lockable or child-safe lid, a tap high enough to slide a watering can under (a stand helps) and a diverter kit that suits your downpipe. Want to know how a 210 litre butt compares with your roof size? Try our water butt size guide.
