trying to make rain barrels in Indianapolis

Posted by fionasol z5 Indianapolis (My Page) on

Have any Indy-area folks found a good cheap source for drums/barrels for making rain barrels? Tried a few car washes, but they wouldn't sell their barrels ("Soap is too harsh to reuse them").

Thanks!

We picked up our barrels for less than $10 at Rural King. Now, we're in Muncie and not Indy, but I think you probably have a Rural King somewhere in the area. Might want to check them out. If you can't find one, a Tractor Supply or similar farm supply-type store would probably carry them. Good luck, I love my rain barrel!

Thanks! Looks like the closest Rural Kings to Indy are in Columbus, New Castle & Martinsville. Their website shows 55 gal barrels for $9.99. Groovy. (Weirdly the TSC website didn't show these, I was kinda surprised.)

Also got an email from Indyrose that I can also find them for $15-20 at
B & B Box & Drum Inc
1527 Miller Street, Indianapolis, IN 46221

Thanks for the help!
