You can easily and economically "go green" by taking advantage of a natural occurrence - rain. Benefit the environment - and watch your water bill shrink - with an Exaco ECO 70 Wooden Square Rain Barrel. Made of Torrefied FSC-certified Canadian Spruce wood, this high-quality rain barrel comes with all the necessary parts to connect it to a standard downspout. Installation is easy, and the in-line set-up with built-in overflow allows water to flow through the downspout when the barrel is full.

This unit comes with a durable, solid brass tap, and the sturdy wood frame houses a heavy-duty bladder. This is a closed unit, which means no mosquitoes or other critters will call it home. During dry seasons, owning an ECO Rain Barrel will be particularly beneficial. Worry no more about local water-use restrictions. With the fresh rainwater you collect, you can still water your garden and potted plants, wash you car, and even wash the dog!

What Is Torrefaction?
Torrefaction is a drying process in which the wood is subjected to a temperature of 200-300 degrees centigrade at near atmospheric pressure. At this temperature, the biomass partially decomposes, altering the chemical nature of the wood. This alteration consists of a loss of oxygen and hydrogen, leaving behind a larger concentration of carbon. The result of this process is a wood product that has a very low moisture uptake, and consequently a low rate of biological degradation. Torrefaction of wood is a natural preservation process, which is achieved without the application of chemicals.
