Item Description

Be the lucky winner of a $100 rain barrel by Detroit company Maxi Container, generously donated by Downtown Home and Garden. These are previously used food grade drums and by reusing these drums that otherwise might end up in a landfill we are helping promote a greener planet.

A rain barrel helps your garden--and the river! By capturing rainwater from your roof before it flows downstream. This sturdy rain barrel stores water for irrigation of your plants, lawn and garden for you to use later. Stormwater runoff is one of the Huron's biggest problems; save the river while conserving water and beautifying your home!

Features

  • Plastic mesh screen
  • Overflow valve (Garden hose can be attached to divert water away from home, linked to another barrel, or a soaker hose and run directly through a nearby flower bed.)
  • Easy on-and-off twist top lid
  • Brass Spigot (installed)
  • Downspout adapter
  • Sealed with waterproof caulk

KIT INCLUDES EVERYTHING YOU NEED EXCEPT TOOLS NECESSARY FOR SETUP

Item Special Note

This item must be picked up at Downtown Home and Garden at 210 S. Ashley St Ann Arbor. No shipping. You need to visit Lewis the Cat anyway!

Hours, directions and lots of other great information can be found here.
