The Pipeline Flexible Rain Barrel 50L is a compact collapsible water butt designed for collecting and storing rainwater where space is limited. With a practical 50 litre capacity, flexible cylindrical construction and integrated lower outlet, it provides a convenient alternative to a permanently rigid water butt for smaller gardens, patios, growing areas and allotments.

Collecting rainwater is a simple way to build up a useful reserve for plant watering and general garden use. The compact 50L Pipeline Flexible Rain Barrel is particularly useful where a larger tank would take up too much valuable space, while still providing enough capacity for routine watering jobs.

Unlike a conventional rigid water butt, the flexible tank can be emptied and dismantled when it is no longer required. This makes it easy to store between seasons and particularly suitable for gardens and growing spaces where equipment needs to remain adaptable.

Why choose the Pipeline 50L Flexible Rain Barrel?

  • Compact 50 litre capacity - useful rainwater storage without requiring the space of a large water butt.
  • Collect & store rainwater - create a reserve of water for later use around the garden.
  • Collapsible construction - dismantles when empty for easier transport and compact storage.
  • Ideal for smaller spaces - a practical choice for compact gardens, patios and smaller growing areas.
  • Flexible cylindrical tank - provides useful water storage without a permanently rigid body.
  • Vertical support structure - support poles help the flexible tank retain its shape when assembled.
  • Covered top - helps reduce larger debris entering the stored water directly from above.
  • Integrated lower outlet - provides convenient access to the collected water.
  • Visible level markings - external graduations provide a quick indication of the amount of water in the tank.
  • Seasonal storage - easy to pack away when additional water storage is no longer required.

Compact 50L rainwater storage

The 50 litre capacity makes this the compact option in the Pipeline Flexible Rain Barrel range. It is well suited to customers who want to collect rainwater but do not need, or do not have room for, a large conventional water butt.

Stored rainwater can provide a convenient supplementary supply for watering containers, beds, borders and other planted areas. During periods of regular rainfall, the tank can collect water ready for use when conditions become drier.

Its smaller capacity also means the tank has a relatively compact footprint, making it particularly useful where available outdoor space is at a premium.

Where can the Pipeline 50L Flexible Rain Barrel be used?

Small gardens Provides useful rainwater storage without the footprint of a large rigid water butt.
Patios A compact option for collecting water for nearby pots, planters and container displays.
Allotments Useful as an additional water reserve or where only a smaller storage tank is required.
Growing areas Store collected rainwater ready for routine watering of plants and containers.
Seasonal use Ideal where water storage is only needed during part of the year and the tank needs to be packed away afterwards.

Space-saving alternative to a rigid water butt

Traditional rigid water butts continue to occupy their full footprint even when completely empty. The Pipeline Flexible Rain Barrel provides a more adaptable solution for customers who want water storage without committing permanently to a bulky tank.

When assembled, vertical supports hold the flexible body in its cylindrical shape. Once the tank is no longer required, it can be drained and dismantled so that the components take up considerably less storage space.

This combination of compact capacity and collapsible construction makes the 50L model particularly useful for smaller gardens and seasonal growing areas.

Collect rainwater for garden watering

Rainfall collected from a suitable roof and guttering system can be stored rather than simply being directed away through the drains. A suitable rainwater collection or diverter arrangement can be used to feed collected water into the Pipeline tank.

The stored water can then provide a useful reserve for garden watering, particularly for pots, planters, beds and borders during periods between rainfall.

For customers with limited outdoor space, the 50L model provides an accessible way to introduce rainwater collection without installing a much larger tank.

Setting up the Pipeline 50L Flexible Rain Barrel

Position the tank on a firm, stable and level surface before filling. Check the installation area and remove sharp stones, protrusions or other objects that could potentially damage the flexible base.

Assemble the supporting structure and flexible tank according to the supplied instructions. If the tank is being filled from guttering, use a suitable collection arrangement to direct rainwater into the tank.

Choose the final position before filling. Although 50 litres is considerably smaller than the largest Pipeline tanks, the water still adds significant weight, so the tank should be emptied before being moved or dismantled.

Easy access to stored water

The Pipeline 50L Flexible Rain Barrel features an integrated outlet towards the bottom of the tank, allowing stored water to be drawn off conveniently when required.

This is useful when filling watering cans or transferring collected water for use around the garden. The outlet also avoids the need to repeatedly access the tank from the top.

External level markings provide a simple visual reference for checking how much water remains in the tank.

Seasonal care & storage

Keep the tank and any connected rainwater collection system reasonably clear of leaves and other debris. Periodically check the inlet and outlet to ensure water can move freely.

When the rain barrel is no longer required, empty the remaining water and allow the flexible tank to dry before dismantling it. Store the tank and support components in a clean, dry location away from sharp objects.

Its collapsible design means the Pipeline 50L can be stored far more conveniently than an equivalent rigid water butt when it is not in use.
