From Oak Wine Cask to Rain Barrels
It is nearing a new season! What a great time to prepare for the dry summer season. 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, gorgeous 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 product of our newest division, EcoMarsh. 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?
