Rain Barrels- looking for inexpensive, creative ideas...

Have fun!! :)

Hi Naudical1 - I am getting ready to repurpose a used hotwater heater for just this very thing! Plan to paint to match the accents on my home and plant some clumping ferns around the base to blend into the landscape. Much of the existing plumbing can be retrofitted with simple spigots for use. Best part is that many folks just want the older units just hauled away. Be sure to check for a solid (non-rusted) bottom on the tank.

Check out Unicorn Spit...it is a stain/glaze that can be used on wood/glass/metal/plastic.

Some people sell 55 gallon drums that have been used for some sort of liquid delivery

I searched alternate rain barrels on Homtalk and here are the results. Maybe something here will inspire you.
