  • Genuine Oak Wine Barrel Water Butt
  • Perfect for eco-friendly collection of rainwater
  • Barrels are tested to ensure that they are watertight, steel bands are pinned to ensure strength and bungs are fitted prior to transport
  • The appearance of the barrel may vary depending on our stock including red markings around the belly and black galvanised bands
  • Available with or without a lift-off lid and a range of accessories
  • Please note – if you are not going to use these barrels straight away, please store in a cool, dry place, out of sunlight and add some water to prevent the barrel staves from drying out and shrinking, which will lead to leaks.

If the barrel is left empty for a sustained period, it can dry and the wood can start to shrink. Beeswax is a perfect natural temporary plug to help the barrel swell back and reseal. Make barrel maintenance the bee’s knees.

Description

Our wine barrels have been freshly emptied and imported from genuine vineyards throughout Europe after being used to store and age some of the best red wines in France, Spain, Portugal and Italy.

They have been built from expert coopers using quarter-sawn solid oak for the lids and staves and galvanised steel bands to hold the barrels together. They are generally between 3 and 5 years old and because of this, they are ideal for use as water butts.

All of Celtic Timber’s oak wine barrels have a capacity of approximately 55 gallons (225 Litres).

When used correctly, water butts can provide all the water necessary for keeping your garden alive throughout the long summer months.

The great news is that water butts don’t have to be an ugly piece of green plastic in your garden. By using a converted wine barrel water butt, you are able to create an aesthetic and beautiful garden ornament, whilst maintaining the practical use of a water butt.

Please note, barrels will vary in appearance depending on our current stock.

Available with or without a lift-off lid and a range of accessories.

Rainwater diverters will be black or white depending on stock. Raiser blocks will elevate the height of the barrel so that most watering cans are able to fit underneath. They will be either oak or softwood, depending on our stock. Particularly tall/rounded watering cans may need to be tilted, or you may have to raise the barrel further.

Approximate Dimensions:

Height – 950mm, Belly Diameter – 680mm, Top Diameter – 570mm Capacity – 55 gallon/225 litres

    So pleased with my Oak Wine Barrel Water Butt that I’m keeping it inside the house for a bit first! Makes an excellent storage container for sacks of organic flour.

    As with my first purchase of a barrel water butt earlier this year…an excellent item both cosmetically and structurally. THIS one leaked extensively when first filled with water…..undoubtedly reflecting the extreme summer we have enjoyed this year. It was of course fine the next day as the timbers expanded.
    Delivery much sooner than suggested…and the driver happily put it into position.

    A bit expensive but very good quality and good customer service
