Description
When used correctly, water butts can provide all the water necessary for keeping your garden alive throughout the long summer months.
The great news is that water butts don’t have to be an ugly piece of green plastic in your garden. By using a converted whisky barrel water butt, you are able to create an aesthetic and beautiful garden ornament, whilst maintaining the practical use of a water butt.
Please note, barrels will vary in appearance depending on our current stock. They may also contain paint or markings from the distillery which adds to the character of the barrels.
Please note – if you are not going to use these barrels straight away, please store in a cool, dry place, out of sunlight and add some water to prevent the barrel staves from drying out and shrinking, which will lead to leaks.
Available with a removable lift-off lid or the barrel’s fixed lid and a range of accessories.
Rainwater diverters will be black or white depending on stock. Raiser blocks will elevate the height of the barrel so that most watering cans are able to fit underneath. They will be either oak or softwood, depending on our stock. Particularly tall/rounded watering cans may need to be tilted, or you may have to raise the barrel further.

Just perfect- thank you. Skye

Barrel looks beautiful and is watertight, however one star lost as it did not arrive on the stated day and I was not informed it would be late. May be helpful to others to know the weight of the barrel. We needed more help than expected to get it in position.

Put a bit of paper in with the tap saying don’t remove white plastic round thread of tap.

It was so easy to buy my barrel online and it arrived within two days. I haven’t got it fully operational yet because I’m just having my guttering renewed but I absolutely love my barrel. I couldn’t be happier with it. Many thanks.
