For water conservation in your community, we recommend you use our rain barrels to help conserve our natural resources. Our 52 to 60 gallon rain barrels are made of recycled water tight wine barrels that can also be used as a plant stand when rain is not expected by simply closing the top of the barrel. Our vineyard oak wood rain barrel enables the user to gather and draw upon their own renewable water resources and conserve our natural water supply. At the rain collection area, a screened opening minimizes insect entry into the barrel while filtering debris from incoming water. You don't need to switch a diverter during a downpour with our rain barrel. An overflow socket, located at the top/back of the barrel, designates the direction of excess water to flow. A hose can be attached, to divert overflow to a garden or distant runoff area. All colors shown on the pictures may vary because these are made from used wine barrels, each one is different as we get them.
