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.

The barrels from which these planters are cut were used for one season before being decommissioned and imported to the UK for Round Wood Trading.

They have a capacity of over 100 litres, (just under 25 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.

They are also suitable to use for collecting water. 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.

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 planters.
