These rain barrels are upcycled from containers formerly used to ship and store food products. This means these plastic barrels are saved from being disposed of in landfills!
With multiple color options, you’ll be able to pick a barrel that blends in well with your landscaping, or easily paint one to perfectly match your homes siding or stonework. The heavy-duty screening on the barrels will keep out even the smallest mosquitoes.
These barrels have plastic fittings so they will expand and contract with the plastic barrel and avoid leakage. Since these rain barrels are made from previously used barrels, made of high-density polyethylene plastic, they can be left outdoors even in the winter months. So, there’s no need to modify your downspouts in the Spring and Fall!
Please keep in mind there may be slight scratching or scuffs due to previous overseas transportation. Exact shape of the barrels may vary due to availability but the color and size remain true. Because these barrels were originally used to transport food, there may be residual food product odor. The residual odor will dissipate after a few full barrel filling cycles. We use a PH balanced, environmentally friendly soap when cleaning so that the water gathered can immediately be used on plants without harm.
