Rain Barrels
One of the most plentiful sources of water we have comes directly from the sky. Rain barrels provide an excellent method of capturing rain for irrigation purposes and helping you conserve water.
Low-cost rain barrels may be available at a series of one-day truckload sale events in Metro Vancouver in the spring.
Local home and garden retailers also sell rain barrels in a variety of shapes and styles (prices vary).
Rain barrel features:
- 55-gallon barrel (200 litres)
- 34” high by 24” wide
- insect resistant mesh on lid
- overflow hose
- childproof lid
- easy installation & maintenance
