Product Information

Full details

The Storm Trading Group 100L Slimline Water Butt Stand is specifically designed for homeowners looking to maximize rainwater harvesting in confined areas like balconies, patios, or narrow side passages. By elevating your slimline water butt, this stand provides the necessary clearance to easily fit a watering can or bucket beneath the tap, significantly improving daily usability; however, it is strictly engineered for slimline models and will not support standard round or wide-diameter water containers.

FAQs

Can this stand hold a 200L water butt?

No, this stand is engineered specifically for 100L slimline models and may collapse under the weight of a 200L unit.

Is this stand suitable for use on grass?

It is not recommended to place the stand directly on grass as it can sink into the soil when the butt is full of water; always use a solid base like a paving slab.

Does the stand come with ground anchors?

Typically, these stands are designed to be freestanding. If you live in an extremely windy area, you may want to secure it using secondary garden ties.

Will this stand rust?

While the materials are weather-resistant, exposure to constant moisture may lead to surface oxidation over time. Periodic inspection and maintenance are recommended.

Can I use this for non-slimline water butts?

No, the dimensions of this stand are specific to slimline containers; standard round butts will likely not fit safely.

Troubleshooting

The stand feels wobbly when the water butt is placed on it.

Ensure the surface beneath the stand is perfectly level. If the ground is uneven, use shims or a paving slab to create a flat foundation.

The water butt is not sitting centrally on the stand.

Empty the water butt completely, reposition the unit until the weight is distributed evenly across the center of the stand, then refill.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Begin by clearing a level patch of ground or patio area. Place the stand in the desired location and ensure all feet are making even contact with the surface. Once leveled, place your empty 100L slimline water butt onto the stand, ensuring it is centered. Only fill the water butt once it is securely positioned on the stand.

Compatibility: This stand is specifically designed for the Storm Trading Group 100L Slimline series. It is not suitable for heavy-duty round butts or irregular shapes.

Care: Periodically check the stand during seasonal changes, especially after high winds or heavy rainfall. Ensure the feet have not shifted or become unstable. If the finish is scuffed or scratched, consider a weather-resistant protective spray to prevent rust or material degradation.
