Benefits of a rain barrel

Ever thought about adding a rain barrel to your yard? Rerouting your gutters to a tank that collects and stores rainwater runoff can be a smart choice. A rain barrel can be both a functional and decorative element in your outdoor space. Here are a few of the key benefits of having one.

[Save money]

Bottom line — putting the rainwater you collect to good use, by watering your lawn, garden and indoor plants, is going to save you money. 

[Conserve water]

If you’re looking to conserve water or have watering restrictions in your area, a rain barrel can offer an extra supply whenever you need it.

[Be environmentally responsible]

Feel good about using the resources that nature provides. This is a great way to be green.

[Make your garden grow]

Our flowers and vegetable gardens don’t need the chlorine and fluoride that are included in our tap water. They thrive on natural rainwater. 

Rain barrels come in a variety of styles and are easy to set-up. Some even come with two spigots, so you can attach a hose and fill a watering can.
