Rank #10 in Best Water Butt 2026: £0.24 to £0.71 a Litre
NOVECRAFTO Amphora Water Butt 210L in Terracotta with Tap Kit
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The NOVECRAFTO amphora holds 210 litres and costs £149.95 — £0.714 a litre, the dearest storage in this ranking — with 4.2 stars from 117 ratings.
It takes tenth because the water is identical to the £58.99 barrel here and the price is two and a half times it. What the money buys is a shape that looks like a garden ornament rather than a barrel, and that is a real want, honestly priced for what it is.
How those 117 ratings break down
An average hides its own shape. This is the spread behind the 4.2 stars.
