Rain Barrels for Sale
What is a Rain Barrel? A rain barrel is an above ground container that collects and stores rainwater from downspouts and rooftops for future uses such as watering lawns, gardens and planters. The rain barrel is filled by routing your downspout into the barrel and allowing it to harvest the natural rain water. The rain water can then be used for your plants by attaching a hose to the included spigot.
Why use a Rain Barrel? You will have a supply of free natural rain water to use around your home or garden. Collecting rain water reduces run-off, which reduces nutrient and sediment loads in our rivers and streams. Rain water is FREE! You are saving money by collecting natural rain water to use around your home. Help save plants and newly planted trees in times of drought. Its responsible conservation and a “green” alternative!
Rain Barrel Kit price of $90.00 includes a 60 gallon recycled food grade barrel. You will receive the barrel, lid with screen wire welded to the inside to keep out bugs and debris, three overflow connections near the top of the barrel for heavy down pours or secondary barrel connection. Included will be a polyethylene cap and spigot which can be placed 4” or 13” from the bottom of the barrel, in the predrilled holes. Additional accessories available.
Rain Barrels are available for viewing or pick up Monday - Friday 7:30 AM- 4:30 PM at the SWCD office, 3111 State Route 98, Bucyrus. For more information call 419-562-8280.
