Barrel Specs
Our barrels are once-used, 55-gallon, tight-head (closed-top) poly drums, made from high quality, food-grade, UV-resistant HDPE plastic.
Tight-head drums have two 2" bung openings, and do not have a removable lid.
DIMENSIONS: 35″ height x 23″ diameter; barrel walls are roughly 1/4″ thick.

We carefully vet our participating barrel suppliers to make sure all used 55-gallon barrels are compatible with our DIY RainKits® and safe for non-potable rainwater storage. Prior contents are declared in our barrel supplier listings.
Barrels sourced through our program are rinsed unless otherwise noted in the pre-purchase listing. A small amount of residue is normal for used barrels.
