Hi Deborah Elliott, We apologise your order was dispatched late. Due to the bank holiday, We have been working very hard catching up on orders. We hope this information helps. Kind regards, Water Butts Direct
Good but not enough options for inlet pipe.

Slimline black water butt purchased. Very happy with it but lid very difficult to get off. Also, haven't used 3-part stand as prefer my old water butt's solid , 1-part stand.

Ordering simple. Emailed to ask when it would be shipped and was told already on it’s way. Excellent quick delivery. Only gave four stars as I was expecting an email to let me know it had been shipped. Would definitely order again from Water Butts Direct.

Easy to fit once you get the lid off and get the attachments out.

The water butt was delivered after pre-ordering, so took a while to come, but turned up unexpectedly early on a Saturday morning without warning. So a message the day before would have been useful. The water butt itself is good quality and I managed to hook it up to a downpipe without too many problems. Thanks.

Ordered a water butt on back order was delivered as per arrangement when delivered I noticed that the water butt cover was damaged I sent a email and a picture showing the damage and a new cover was sent the next day so all in all thoroughly recommended

Loving the rain-water diverter and filter kit- it arrived quickly, in good condition and all at a reasonable price. Plus the mini-catalogue, popped in the box, has raised some other possible garden projects.

Bought an Urn style water butt with a pocket for growing plants. It has installed quite easily although I discovered that when the tap runs dry there is still around 50L of water in it. I have also stood it on a 50mm stand so that the drain valve does not scrape the floor and we can get our largest watering can underneath. If you want to use a kit to extract from a downpipe buy it with the water butt as the spare I had from the hardware store did not fit.

Hard to be sure which water butt stand to buy for our ten year old water butt - the stand for which was starting to break up. But this one seemed the nearest in size and as it turns out it has done well. The new stand fits the old butt and seems to be the right height. Don't think we need to mess about with the input trap on the down pipe.

Lovely quality water butt however it should be for the price . My only disappointment although it arrived earlier than anticipated there was no notification , which was probably down to the courier ?

Very pleased with the water butt and have fitted it into place without difficulty. I was a bit concerned about communication as I had to chase the order having not received it or heard nothing after 3 weeks. The issue was resolved very quickly after that however.

We are very pleased with the stand which is a perfect fit for the butt. Good product and good service.
Helpful Report
Order and delivery was very efficient. Only issue was the connection hose required the correct size drill bit. This was OK for me, but for some, this would require an extra purchase. Would be helpful to have this hole predrilled with a cover cap for the unused side. Not WaterButts fault, but the empty butt does not stand up in any wind and I’ve had to purchase strapping to tie it back to the house!
Helpful Report
Pre ordered the butt and would have liked an email when it was dispatched. The rain trap instructuons were easy to follow but it was almost impossible to attach the hose to the rain trap and only slightly easier to attach it to the water butt.
Helpful Report
It is what it is - a water butt, a stand, a tap and a diverter. Simple to install. It works well. If I was to ask for an improvement, I would request that they include a sealable hole in the stand that I could pour sand to add weight to the legs for stability and strength.
Helpful Report
If we get enough rain to fill it, this butt should make all my vegetables better than they were in last year's hot, dry summer. I have difficulty in reaching the spring to open the lid as my fingers are not long enough, but a trowel should help.
