Rain Barrel Sale – SOLD OUT!

Rain barrels are currently sold out!

Rain barrels capture rainwater from roofs and store it for later use for watering lawns, gardens or indoor plants.  Collecting roof runoff in rain barrels reduces the amount of water that flows from your property. It’s a great way to conserve water and is essentially “free” water for use in your landscape. The barrels themselves are usually made of a large drum (50-60 gal), vinyl hose, PVC couplings, and a screen to keep debris and breeding insects out. Most rain barrels usually have a spigot for a hose connection for watering grass and plants, and they can be made of plastic or wood.

For more information on rain barrels visit Soak Up the Rain, the US EPA’s rain barrel information site.
