Further Information

Oak Barrels made from local oak have been used in France for centuries to store and age wine, given the oak and vanilla overtones they impart.

These particular barrels were used for one season before being decommissioned and imported to the UK for Round Wood Trading.

They have a capacity of 225 litres, (just under 50 imperial gallons), and were produced using high grade Oak from the surrounding regions. Only 5% of an Oak Tree is deemed of good enough quality to produce wine barrels.

Their light look makes them perfect for sitting on a decking area. Finishes/colours may vary slightly as these are produced from natural materials.

Our barrels can be utilised again in the brewing process for wine or cider, or as garden ornaments. They also make excellent furniture/tables for pubs and pub gardens.

They are also particularly suitable for conversion to a water butt.

Water butts are extremely environmentally friendly. Rainwater is ideal for use in any garden; it’s not subject to a hose-pipe ban, it’s free, natural and organic.

For an additional £25, we can carry out all the necessary work for conversion to a water butt. We will supply a tap and cut the hole it fits into near the base of the barrel. We will also drill an 80mm hole in the top to take a standard downpipe, (other sizes on request).

Maintenance

Oak can darken and silver through time and the effects of weathering. This process will, however, take a while and can be prevented/delayed through regular pressure washing. Alternatively, a protective oil/sealant can be applied to the barrels.
