Specifications
Rain barrels are containers that collect and store rainwater draining from your roof. They have many economical and sustainable advantages. Many communities force "odd-even" or "no watering" bans to conserve water resources, which makes collecting your own more beneficial. This barrel collects rainwater to provide an ample supply of free "soft water" that contains no chlorine, lime or calcium for gardens, flower pots, and car and window washing. Reconditioned rain barrels are made from recycled and reconditioned plastic barrels formerly used for food product shipping, such as pickle and pepper barrels. Barrels are modified into rain barrels and assembled with a spigot and overflow fitting. The rain barrel top/lid is equipped with metal mesh screen to filter out debris and prevent mosquitoes from getting in.

Key benefits:

  • Reduce runoff pollution
  • Rainwater is better for your plants and soil
  • Eco-friendly
  • Helps control moisture levels around the foundations of your home
  • Made from barrels previously used to ship pickled foods
  • Rain barrel accessories available separately

Material:

High-Density Polyethylene PlasticHigh density polyethylene (HDPE ) is the most commonly used resin. This economical plastic has good impact and chemical resistance, is naturally translucent and flexible. It is typically used for personal care products such as shampoo bottles. Adding color will give HDPE an opaque look that will result in an increase in weight and rigidness. We have a variety of these rigid and tough high density polyethylene products in stock, from containers, pails, bottles, caps, tubs and jugs. HDPE works well in below freezing temperatures. HDPE heat compatibility varies. Maximum fill temperature is generally around 171°F; however, testing is recommended with your specific product and application. Distortion occurs between 220° to 250° F.
