From Oak Wine Cask to Rain Barrel
It is nearing a new season! What a great time to get pre-summer savings on these environmentally friendly and charming oak barrels.
Once Napa Valley wine casks, these repurposed barrels which have skirted their prior destination of the dump are now useful, attractive oak rain barrels ready for installation. Fitted with an overflow valve, spigot and gutter opening cut into the top this water harvesting solution is the newest product of our EcoMarsh division. Originally coopered in France of African oak, they are proudly assembled right here in the good old USA and made of entirely renewable resources.

Why a Rain Barrel?
The Water is Free! Water falls from the sky, instead of flowing from your faucet and your checkbook to pay the utility company.
No energy added - nature fills the barrel for you and gravity distributes the water to your plants when they need it.
Plants are connoisseurs - your plants will thrive on naturally soft water, rather than potable water with additives such as chlorine and fluorine.
Reduces burden on our municipalities - turning on the tap means your municipal H2O dollars must flow from a water treatment facility, pumping station, pipeline network. Using your rain barrel reservoir saves money and power and is all around eco-friendly.
You don't double pay - when you use tap water, you are paying for it coming and going. As the meter turns, it clocks and charges for the water the comes out of the tap AND charges a sewer fee based on what comes out, ....as if its going to go down the drain.
Why Oak?
California wine barrels have more fun! - Oak Rain Barrels are made of entirely renewable resources, sensible, attractive, durable and gorgeously non-plastic!
