How can I “pre-order & pick up” a plastic rain barrel in Grand Rapids – Michigan ?
Ted – you should contact the girls behind these rain barrels for details. There is a link in the post.
I prefer the plastic Rain Barrel, because is not that heavy you can just move to other place and it last longer.
I guess these are 2 of the most popular choices for rain barrels. I’d rather go for the solid oak, coz even though it is quite pricey, it is the better choice for green living.
I love that plastic barrel that looks almost wooden. Thanks for the info.
