“all good arrived on time”

Helpful Report

“My metropolitan water butt in green marble looks fantastic. The instructions were clear. Note, alternative fittings for the butt end of the diverter and an instruction leaflet are supplied as it fits in a slightly different way to normal. I am looking forward to my plants, some trailing ones growing and making it look even better”

Helpful Report

“A good quality item but didn't come with any fitting instructions and had no tap to fit into the unit. Has three 3/4 brass insert connections either side (so not as actual photo on web site)which need drilling out for the fitting of any rainsavers and one connection on the front for a tap. Came with 2 blanks when would be better with a further four to screw into the side connections. Did report the lack of instructions and no tap via a phone conversation but never received any comeback.”

Helpful Report

“Good choice of water butts, they had the best price available at the time, wet prompt delivery”

Helpful Report

“Easy to place an order and item arrived promptly. Impressed with the quality of the water butt. Haven't placed it into position yet. Delivery driver was polite and helpful. Would buy from this company again.”

Helpful Report

“I now have three water butts. In general happy. Lugs to join 3 parts of stand could be longer, they come apart easily when adjusted. The tap supplied is small bore so filling a standard watering can is very slow, would be great to fill quickly.”

Helpful Report

“Water butt arrived in good time and looks very substantial. It was easy to connect up and just waiting on rain now to test it out.”

Helpful Report

“First class service from WBD and goods exactly as described. Time will tell durability and performance after installation. - I don't expect any issues.”

Helpful Report

“Great service. Speedy delivery.”

Helpful Report

“Harcoster 227l water butt excellent - easy to screw tap in from front, rather than have reach nut on inside. My only disappointment is that the Harcoster water butt stand is a different colour green from the butt. The butt is a lovely dark green but the stand is a brighter green.”

Helpful Report

“Prompt service and delivery, product looks good have yet to install it.”

Helpful Report

“Product (taps) sent very quickly. The high flow taps are excellent. Watering can fills in 20 seconds rather than 49”
