Collecting rainwater is one of the simplest ways to make your garden more sustainable — and choosing the right water butt can make it both functional and stylish. Ecosure offers a wide range of UK-made water butts designed to suit gardens of all shapes, sizes, and aesthetics. Whether you prefer a slim footprint, a bold decorative feature, or a planter that blends seamlessly into your outdoor space, there’s a model to suit your needs.
Let’s explore the three most popular styles: Slimline, Pillar Style, and Water Butt Planters.
1. Slimline Water Butts: Perfect for Tight Spaces
If space is limited, Slimline water butts are the ideal choice.
Designed with a narrow footprint, these tanks tuck neatly against fences, walls, or down the side of sheds without taking over your garden.
Best for:
- Small gardens
- Courtyards and patios
- Narrow side passages
- Anyone who wants maximum capacity with minimal space
Despite their compact size, Ecosure’s Slimline models come in generous capacities, making them both practical and space-efficient.

2. Pillar Style Water Butts: Make a Statement
For those who want form and function, pillar style water butts offer a decorative architectural look. With their tall, column-like shape and smooth, rounded design, they add visual interest while storing large volumes of water.
Best for:
- Gardens where the water butt will be on show
- Homeowners who want a feature piece
- Modern or classical themed gardens
These water butts deliver excellent capacity without compromising aesthetics — ideal if you want your rainwater storage to blend beautifully into your landscaping.
3. Water Butt Planters: Beautiful and Practical
If you prefer your water butt to double as a garden feature, Ecosure’s water butt planters are the perfect solution. These sleek, stylish designs include a planting bowl on top, allowing you to grow flowers, herbs, or cascading plants while storing rainwater below.
Best for:
- Front gardens and visible areas
- Stylish outdoor spaces
- Gardeners who want hidden functionality
- Anyone looking to combine planting and sustainability
Not only do they look stunning, but they also encourage biodiversity and help your garden thrive.
