This is a beautiful option for a rain barrel. Aaron’s originally only produced plastic rain barrels, but started offering a very well-made and durable wooden rain barrel in response to overwhelming demand from customers. The barrels are converted from barrels that were once filled with bourbon at Kentucky distilleries to fully functional rain barrels. The barrels are made out of white oak and are inspected by a Kentucky cooperage before they are sold as rain barrels. These barrels are extremely heavy, weighing about 110 pounds each. The barrels are 34” high x 24” wide.
The wooden barrel is held together with steel hoops, which create a long-lasting, durable rain barrel. All the fittings on the barrel are solid brass and are threaded so that you can attach a garden hose to them. All the oak rain barrels come with a convenient rainwater diverter attachment that will allow for separation of rainwater if the barrel is full, and will aide in avoiding clogs from unwanted debris. If you need your barrel to be custom built for whatever reason, Aaron will be happy to oblige.
