Peter Half barrels are a great addition to any garden. Not only are they visually appealing but they can be used in various different ways, from seats to water features, barrels are a popular garden ornament.
Half barrels make great decorative planters. Barrels are both weather resistant as well as durable, so they fit this role perfectly. This combined with their visually unobtrusive design helps to enhance the layout of the garden.
Half barrels, as well as full barrels, work well as outdoor ice coolers, simply fill the half or full barrel with ice and a variety of drinks. They also make great makeshift coffee tables, place a suitable piece of wood on top of a barrel for an instant piece of outdoor furniture.
When buying half barrels be sure to check whether the barrel has been horizontally or vertically cut. The way a barrel is cut will effect how it can be used and the amount of space it will take up.
