Large Oak Barrel Water Butts

 -> Department: Water Butts (show all categories in department)
  ->Category: Oak Barrel (show summary of all items in category)

garden water butt

Promoted by The Environment Agency.
As seen on Carol Vorderman's Better Homes.

available now Our water butt barrels are made from genuine ex-distillery oak barrels that have been used for the maturing of spirit such as whisky and bourbon. They are similar to wine and beer barrels. Water butts may be supplied with one loose end that can be lifted off to allow access to the cask or they can be supplied with a cast-iron lift pump or a tap to allow water to be drawn from the barrel without removing the end. Our water butts present a practical and attractive means of collecting rainwater for the garden. All barrel dimensions and capacities are approximate.

Best quality stock - Oak barrels are highly durable and WFOL only use best quality barrel stock. We do not use surface coatings to cover deterioration on poor quality casks.

brass tap fitted to water butt

Brass Taps

Rainwater barrels have the option of having a brass tap fitted near the bottom of the barrel. Brass taps are available in three different styles. The frog tap version includes a screw-on hose-tail to which a length of garden hose may be attached.

wooden barrel taps

Wooden Taps

Oak barrel butts are also available fitted with wooden barrel taps. Three sizes of tap are available, i.e. 7" (17½cm), 8" (20cm) and 10" (25cm). The larger the tap the greater the flow of water.

lift-off and fixed tops

Rainwater Barrel Lids

Water butts can have either a loose lift-off lid or a fixed non-removable end. Either may be notched to allow entry of a drainpipe. Fixed ends are a safer option for children. We recommend fixed ends because they restrict air flow into the barrel and also trap moist air inside the barrel. This is beneficial for the barrel during hot, dry weather conditions. Reduced air flow also reduces the possibility of stagnant water effects.

rainsaver diveter

Rainsaver Diverters

Easy way to connect your water butt to a downpipe. This device diverts water from the downpipe to the water butt until the water butt is full. Any further water passes straight down the downpipe. No need for notches or lids.    more information more info.

stand

Stands

Use a stand to lift the barrel off the ground increasing the clearance from the tap to the ground by an additional 4". This makes it sufficient for most buckets and watering cans. Our stands are made from pressure treated timber for long life.    more information more info.

Pump Barrels

An oak barrel fitted with a working cast-iron village pump. Pump barrels have a notched top, i.e. an entry hole located behind the pump at the back of the barrel to allow filling from a drainpipe. They can also be supplied with a rainsaver diverter. These barrels are available in nominal 40, 56 and 100-gallon sizes. The village pumps are operated by cranking the handle to draw water from the barrel.
