OAK BARRELS IN THE GARDEN - A USEFUL AND STYLISH ACCESSORY

If you are looking for an unusual and stylish way to improve your garden while also reducing your costs of water, you should definitely think about buying used oak barrels. Originally used for wine storage, oak water barrels are adapted to catch rainwater and also serve as an excellent design and decorative object. 

4 reasons why you should consider buying used oak barrels as a decorative and functional object in your garden

Durability 

Used oak barrels are made from quality oak wood and are designed and manufactured so that they last for many years outside. They are weather resistant. Before winter, it is not necessary to drain the barrel; just put a few pieces of wood in it. If you drain the barrel before the winter, be sure to place it in the garden upside down and cover it so that the bottom is not in touch with snow or water. With this minimal care, your oak barrel can be used as a tank for catching rainwater for many years.   

Sustainability 

The application of used oak barrels in your garden will not only improve its appearance but will also help reduce the costs of water. Moreover, rainwater is much more suitable for watering the garden than tap water. Oak rainwater barrels can thus be used in areas with limited access to water or where the costs of water are very high. 

Design 

Used oak barrels represent a practical but also very stylish solution. The beauty of oak wood will improve the appearance of both modern and old-style “retro” gardens. Thanks to their distinctive appearance, oak barrels can be used as an interesting design element and will help to make a unique atmosphere to any exterior. 

Versatility

Used oak barrels are a versatile and useful accessory for your garden. They can be used as a decorative object, for catching rainwater, as well as for storage of gardening implements or toys. And how about using an oak barrel as a bathing tub or a stylish planter?
