Rain Barrels Iowa
About Us

We make rain barrels, specialized stands, spinning composters, plus provide accessories to make it easier for you to live more sustainably.

 

Our rain barrel design is superior, from intake screens down to the brass spigot securely installed. The barrels arrived on this continent filled with Mediterranean produce. We pulled them from the refuse stream to make them into sturdy rain barrels. Styles vary, and we have painted rain barrels to accessorize your homestead.

 

Decrease your water bills & storm water runoff - enjoy using naturally soft water from rain barrels.

 

Happy Harvesting!
