Flat Back Rain Barrel - WOOD GRAIN + DUAL VALVE

Durable.  Heavy-duty, rotational molded construction means a lower possibility of structural damage and a longer lifespan.  UV-stabilized plastic resin is protected from sun damage, fading and cracking.

Attractive.  Designed with enhanced appearance in mind, these units resemble authentic oak barrels from years ago – prominent horizontal bans emulate the old metal straps that secured the wood in place.  Subtle vertical groves and indented patterns imitate the texture of natural wood grain.

Safety.  Flat back helps to lessen the possibility of tipping, should someone inappropriately climb on it.  The flat back also lowers the footprint of the unit, while reducing the amount of protrusion from the wall or fence.  Water entry point at top of barrel prevents unwanted entry by children or pets.  Screen keeps out rooftop debris and insects. If the water level should exceed capacity, the top center overflow port will prevent unit from spilling over.

Expandable.  With the optional linking kit (available from us or the manufacturer), these barrels can be connected in series via a modest connector port located at the top back (sealed unit needed).  Once the internal water reaches the lateral linking ports which are slightly below the height of the overflow port, water will begin flowing into and filling the adjacent barrel(s). 

Convenient.  Threaded, hand-operated brass spigot is located half way up the barrel and can be connected to a hose with standard fittings, or directly fill a bucket or watering can.  Special bottom shut off valve can be connected to a hose, used as additional overflow, or provide a means of emptying residual water at the end of the season before freezing temperatures arrive.  Due to the weather-resistant surface, minimal maintenance is required, other than occasional cleaning of the debris screen.
