3P Technik Evergreen 475 Litre Tree Stump Water Butt – Realistic Oak Bark Design

The 3P Technik Evergreen is a 475 litre garden water butt modelled with extraordinary realism on an ancient oak tree stump. Its deeply recessed bark detailing — lifted from a real oak tree — covers the entire outer body of the tank, giving it an appearance that frequently surprises visitors to the garden on closer inspection. The lid carries a concentric tree-ring pattern on its upper face, completing the illusion convincingly from top to base. With a 475 litre capacity, the Evergreen is suited to larger gardens, country properties, and horticultural growing operations that require substantial rainwater storage without sacrificing visual character.

Design Detail and Lid

The Evergreen's tree-ring lid detail is a distinctive and well-regarded feature. The removable child-proof lid doubles as a visual element — the rings replicate exactly what one would expect to see on a cross-section of a real oak stump. The outer bark texture is impressively deep and three-dimensional, far exceeding the surface detail of typical decorative water butts. The Evergreen is manufactured from UV-resistant, recyclable polyethylene and is supplied with a ¾" high-flow brass tap, wall fixing bracket, and screws.

Applications and Usage

The 3P Technik Evergreen is a popular choice for country gardens, woodland borders, rural properties, nature gardens, and school grounds where a highly naturalistic water storage feature is desired. Its 475 litre capacity provides a substantial rainwater reserve well suited to the irrigation demands of larger planting areas, cutting gardens, and soft fruit growing. The Evergreen is ideally positioned at the base of a downpipe with a 3P Technik Filter Collector to ensure clean, filtered rainwater enters the tank directly. Its natural appearance makes it a favourite for wildlife gardens and outdoor education spaces, where it blends seamlessly into planting and landscaping rather than drawing attention as an industrial water storage vessel.
