I love the marble effect water butt. It was delivered around 9am and we had fully installed (with a downpipe, running outlet, etc from other supplier) and it was working within 2 hours. The tap is good quality and at the right height for a watering can. As there is no inside access apart from a 3cm hole in the top, the ability to empty the water butt, if necessary, has been catered for with another predetermined, to be drilled, hole near the base. A tap is also provided for this instance too. You can see how full the water butt is through the plastic sides, which is a great help. Not used the top part for planting yet - just still enjoying the functionality of the water butt.
