Whiskey
and wine barrels make great rain barrels, but they do take a little
care.
All of our
barrels are made to
hold liquids and have done so for many years. If barrels are allowed
to dry out the wood will shrink and the hoops will loosen. You will
have to rehydrate the barrel and tighten up the hoops. It is important to keep
the barrel wet. To tighten up the hoops tap them in toward the center
of the barrel, this will squeeze the staves together and stop any
leaks. Make sure you tap all hoops in. This means you will have to turn
the barrel over and tap the lower hoops in as well. |
  Our solid
white oak whiskey barrels were
made to hold liquids. These barrels were previously used to
age world famous Kentucky Bourbon, or
other fine Kentucky spirits. We have turned some
of these sturdy barrels into rustic Rain Barrels
for your home and garden.
* Read
our Terms and Instructions page
before you place an order for one of these barrels.
These
barrels will
hold approximately 53 gallons of valuable rain
water. They are 36''
tall, 21'' in diameter at the top and bottom, and 24'' in
diameter in the
middle. They weigh approximately
125 lbs empty, and are held together by 6 double
riveted steel hoops.
Each
of our Kentucky Bourbon Rain Barrels
comes with a rugged polyethylene downspout adapter on top, a brass
faucet near the bottom, a galvanized overflow pipe on the side near
the top, and an extra bung. (see
photographs). The
 downspout
adapter fits: 2 1/2 x 3 1/2, or3 x 4 1/2 inch downspout.
Residential
irrigation can account for 40% of domestic water consumption in a given
area. Rain barrels not only store water, they help decrease
demand during the summer months.
Collection of water from rooftop runoff can provide an ample supply of
this free 'soft water' containing no chlorine, lime or calcium. Because
it tends to have fewer sediments and dissolved salts than municipal
water, rain water is ideal for lots of applications, including
vegetable and flower gardens, automobile
washing, and cleaning household windows. Saving water in this manner
will reduce you demand for treated tap water, and save money by
lowering your monthly bill. A typical house has a roof
area of 1,200 square feet and four
downspouts that will each drain about 300 square feet of roof.
That
means a rainfall of just 0.3 inches is enough to fill 4 of our
53-gallon Kentucky Bourbon Rain Barrel, one placed
under each downspout.
A good formula to remember: 1 inch of rain on a 1000 sq ft roof yields
623 gallons of water. Calculate the yield of your roof by multiplying
the square footage of your roof by 623 and divide by 1000.
(NOTE:
These barrels and any rain water collection systems can quickly be
filled and begin to overflow. Take this into consideration when using
any rain water collection system).
These barrels
are not treated. We
cannot be responsible for any wood boring insects that may attack your
barrels. If you are going to use them outside you should be
aware that
insects may attack the barrels as they would any untreated wood. |

WHAT
CUSTOMERS HAVE TO SAY ABOUT THIS RAIN BARREL

I have installed and used this wonderful rain barrel for about 3 weeks
now. Everything works as indicated in the description. I was looking
for a water saving device that would "blend" in with my landscape and
you would have to be 3 feet away before you knew if this was plastic -
if you were looking! I am very pleased and would highly recommend this
product. My plants love it - and so do I!!
Tina B. writes:
This is a nice addition to the garden. It's attractive and functional.
I hooked a soaker hose up to it and my garden is thriving! I even went
away for 10 days on vacation and came back and it was like I had a
gardener. I like this product so much that I ordered a second one. |

DON'T
BUY RAIN BARRELS WITH THE
FAUCET IN THE MIDDLE OF THE BARREL
If
you are considering buying from another source or making your own rain
barrel, make sure the faucet is near the bottom and not in the middle
of the barrel. This will give you more water to use, and insure your
water does not stagnate. We place the
faucet just above the second hoop from the bottom. |
| IMPORTANT:
Before you use a plastic or metal drum as a rain barrel MAKE SURE you
know what chemicals were stored in the drum. Many plastic and metal
drums have labels warning not to reuse them . These labels can fall off
or are removed. Make sure you know what the drums originally contained. |
