Rain barrels are an excellent way to help the environment and your river! 

Each year more than 34,000 gallons of rain can fall on a 30 x 40 square foot roof in Virginia. Much of this water flows across lawns, over pavement and directly into storm sewers, eventually ending up in local lakes, streams and rivers. During heavy rain events, this runoff can lead to increased streambank erosion, flooding and water pollution. The use of rain barrels is an inexpensive way to decrease storm water runoff, conserve water for garden and lawn use and save money on your water bill.

• Rain barrels are designed to collect and store rainwater for future use
• The barrels are placed under gutter downspouts or where roof lines end and water runs off
• A single rain barrel can save about 1,300 gallons of water during peak summer months
• Water can be used anywhere non-potable water is needed, such as to water lawns and gardens, wash cars and pets, for indoor cleaning needs, or fill children's swimming pools

Please note: FOR's current stock of barrels are recycled. reused barrels, and show some signs of wear   We apologise for any cosmetic deficiencies, but we guarrantee their function !  Using previously-used barrels (ours transported olives from Chile) decreases our carbon footprint and also helps us keep our prices low.

Rain Barrels are made by us and include:

• 55 gallon, industrial-strength plastic barrel
• 6" round atrium grate OR screw-on cover.  Both have mosquito barriers
• One of two types of overflow: (a) 2" dia. PVC overflow pipe or (b) 3/4" male adapter, both with mosquito barrier
• 3/4" brass spigot for attaching a hose or filling watering containers

--> Learn to turn THIS into THESE --> FOR's rain barrels are made from recycled pickle and olive barrels. They are 55-gallon drums and are blue in color. The blue, while not the most aesthetically pleasing color, curbs photosynthesis and algae growth in your water, unlike many lighter colored barrels. AND they are easy to convert into any color you want or a piece of art for your lawn! To learn more about how to paint your rain barrel:
