We are proud of our recycled rain barrels. We encourage buyers to only buy recycled containers and we appreciate the blemishes and aroma that confirm that they have been used. All of our barrels have traveled across the Atlantic in a container ship and often have markings to prove it - we like to refer to it as ‘naturally distressed” – we inspect all our barrels before converting them into rain barrels to insure that the integrity of the barrel is not compromised. We paint our barrels in an OSHA approved environmentally safe staging room to brighten up the dulled finish and we use environmentally compatible colors. Modeled after English Rain Barrels, they hold 60 gallons of precious unchlorinated, oxygenated rain water. Collecting rain water has become as typical as recycling bottles, cans, newspapers and composting. Link two or three barrels together and you can save up to 180 gallons of precious rain water. Store this precious resource or use it regularly to water vegetable gardens, flower beds, outdoor plants, container plants & more. Plants respond better to rainwater than tap water with chemicals. Shipping Via FedEx Ground. Shipped to the 48 contiguous United States only. For rates outside the contiguous US, please contact us.
