Product Information
Full details
The Storm Trading Group Large Water Butt Stand is designed for homeowners and gardeners seeking a stable, elevated platform for their rainwater collection systems. It provides the necessary height for gravity-fed watering or filling watering cans directly from a tap, though users should ensure their chosen surface is perfectly level before installation to maintain structural integrity.

FAQs
Can this stand hold a 300-litre water butt?
This stand is specifically engineered for 200, 210, and 250-litre models. Exceeding these capacities is not recommended.
Does the stand need to be bolted down?
While not strictly required, if your area experiences high winds, placing the unit against a wall or using weights can increase stability.
Is the material rust-proof?
The stand features a weather-resistant black finish suitable for outdoor use, but periodic maintenance keeps it in top condition.
Can I use this on a balcony?
Yes, provided the balcony surface is level and can support the combined weight of the stand, the full water butt, and the water inside.
How high will my tap be after using this stand?
The elevation depends on the model of the water butt, but this stand is designed to provide enough clearance to comfortably fit a standard watering can under the tap.
Troubleshooting
Water butt feels wobbly when placed on the stand
Ensure the ground surface is perfectly level and that all four feet of the stand are making firm contact with the substrate.
Stand is sinking into the ground
Place solid concrete pavers or heavy-duty rubber tiles under each leg to distribute the weight of the full water butt more effectively.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Increases tap height for easier access
- Sturdy construction supports significant weight

- Weather-resistant black finish
Cons
- Requires a firm, level surface for maximum safety
- Does not include integrated anchor points for wall mounting
- Elevated design may expose the underside of the butt to debris
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup is straightforward: clear a level patch of ground, place the stand, and center your empty water butt on top to ensure even weight distribution. This unit is compatible with 200L, 210L, and 250L barrels. To maintain the stand, periodically inspect the feet for any signs of sinking or displacement, especially after heavy rainfall. The black finish is weather-resistant, but wiping it down with a damp cloth once per season will help remove algae or garden grime that may accumulate near the base.
