Sankey 1229 150L Beehive Water Butt

Product Information

If you’re looking for a high-quality water butt capable of storing a large volume of water, then the Harcostar 227 Litre Water Butt Kit won’t disappoint – it’s the best large water butt overall.

Since the pipes are pretty short in length, you’ll need to place your water butt relatively close to your drainpipe.The fact that it comes with a filler kit and legs is also handy, and I like that it’s made from recycled plastic.

It won’t hold a lot of water, but it should be sufficient for most small watering jobs and it won’t take up too much space. Don’t panic if it doesn’t fit – it has been designed to work with a range of drainpipe sizes , so you may need to use a knife to expand the top piece, but there are guidelines in place to show you where to cut. Water butts help save water and ensure a constant supply of fresh water is provided to your garden, even in the drier months. If you fit this on a level surface it won’t flow over because of gravity, you can easily drill into this and feed a second and third water butt if you want to. Whether your pup is a small breed or a large one, our range of dog beds provides the perfect spot for restful sleep.

Connect the hose: feed the hose through the hole in the water butt and secure it in place with a screw nut. Sustainable Gardening: Using rainwater for gardening purposes helps maintain the natural balance of minerals in the soil, promoting healthier plants and reducing the need for chemical fertilisers. If holes are not pre-drilled, you will need to make a hole of around 25-30 mm to connect the water diverter. Designed to mimic the charming appearance of a beehive, these water storage solutions not only help conserve water but also add an attractive element to your garden. Larger water butts are available, going up to a capacity of several thousand litres, but these are generally too big for traditional gardens – they can take a long time to fill up, and be hard to tuck away.
