BlueBarrel is your one-stop-shop for locally-sourced recycled barrels (available at 75+ locations throughout the USA!), and custom-packed kits for building your own multi-barrel rainwater catchment system. Here we provide a complete barrel compatibility checklist for those who are sourcing their own barrels.
The BlueBarrel Rainwater Catchment System™ is made from repurposed 55-gallon barrels. Our unique, underplumbed design is one-of-a-kind and has many advantages!
To build a BlueBarrel System, you will need a DIY RainKit™ (available in our Online Store), and compatible barrels. Most customers order barrels through our website along with their RainKit(s) for guaranteed compatibility.
But some folks have barrels already, or live too far away from our participating barrel supplier locations. If you are sourcing your own barrels, let's make sure you have compatible ones!
