Rank #1 in Best Water Butt 2026: £0.24 to £0.71 a Litre
STORM TRADING GROUP 210 Litre Water Butt with Stand, Tap and Diverter
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The STORM TRADING 210-litre butt is the best value in this ranking: £58.99 for 210 litres, which is £0.281 per litre, with 4.5 stars from 537 ratings.
It takes first place because price per litre is the only comparison that survives a category where capacities are quoted in gallons, in pairs and sometimes wrongly — and at £0.281 this one is within 18 per cent of the cheapest and has one of the deepest samples.
How those 537 ratings break down
An average hides its own shape. This is the spread behind the 4.5 stars.

Questions people ask
Why compare by litre?
Because every butt quotes a capacity and none quotes value: the range across this ranking is £0.238 to £0.714 a litre for the same water.
How much does it weigh full?
210kg, which is why the stand and the ground surface matter.
What comes in the kit?
A stand, a tap and a downpipe diverter.
How much rain fills it?
About 10mm of rain on a 20-square-metre roof is roughly 200 litres, so a good downpour fills it.
Why is it first?
Because it is the best value per litre among the butts with hundreds of reviews.
How many ratings does it have?
537 at the time of collection, averaging 4.5 stars, with 70 per cent five-star and 3 per cent one-star.
