Why HDPE?

Our barrels start as high-density polyethylene (HDPE) drums — the same material used for food-grade storage. HDPE is:

  • 🌞 UV-resistant — won't degrade in sunlight
  • 🌡️ Weatherproof — handles Kansas heat and winter freezes
  • 🦟 Pest-resistant — mesh intake keeps mosquitoes out
  • 🌿 Algae-resistant — opaque walls block the light algae needs
  • 💪 Durable — won't rust, rot, or corrode

We finish each barrel with enamel paint that adds another layer of UV protection and keeps it looking sharp for years.

How Much Water Can You Collect?

A rain barrel system can yield 1,000 litres (260 US gallons) of water from just 1 cm (0.4 in) of rain falling on a 100 m² (1,100 sq ft) roof. That's meaningful savings on your water bill — and every drop that goes into your barrel is a drop that stays out of storm drains.

Why a Rain Barrel?

💧

Save Water

Capture rainwater before it hits the storm drain. Use it for your garden, lawn, or outdoor cleaning.

💰

Save Money

At $100, with a $100 rebate available from the city, your only out-of-pocket cost is sales tax. Your barrel very nearly pays for itself.

🌱

Better for Plants

Rainwater is naturally soft and chlorine-free. Plants genuinely prefer it over tap water.
