Balcony Barrel
Balcony Barrel is a rain barrel for your balcony garden and watering needs
Balcony Barrel is a rainwater harvesting system deployed on balconies with the goal of catching water for outdoor plants. The key benefit is a dramatic reduction in the need to haul water outside - a process that can be messy, tiring, and inefficient. Other key features include:
- Easy Watering: from the barrel itself or from a self-filling watering can (filled by overflow from an attached rain chain)
- Easy Installation: set up in minutes, with no tools required
- Ample, clean collection of Rain: from open sky and balconies above with a 30" RainSaucer harvesting at least 2 gallons/inch of rain. An inline filter keeps debris from entering the tank.
Balcony Barrel comes at a significant time when urban gardening and sustainability are on the rise. The product targets apartment dwellers who want to grow their own food while conserving water. Balcony Barrel is made and sold online worldwide by RainSaucers Inc. a manufacturer of stand alone rainwater harvesting systems.
