Instructions To Build A DIY A Rain Barrel On a Budget

1. Purchase Your Barrel

First thing’s first. You need to decide what kind of barrel you want to use for your project. You can purchase inexpensive plastic barrels from most any big-box store. Because our DIY rain barrel is at the front of our home, I knew I wanted something a little nicer.

Luckily we have Midwest Barrel Company right here Lincoln! They have a great selection of barrels, including whiskey and wine barrels. Ultimately, we chose this white wine barrel. Isn’t she a beauty?
