Re: Storing Rainbarrels

What do you do with your rain barrels in the winter?
We flip the ones in the garden upside down so that they drain completely and don't freeze and thaw over the winter. We just disconnect the one in the backyard from the gutter that collects the rainwater from the roof.

We've put some inside and left them outside -- as long as they don't have water in them, they seem to store fine. It's more a matter of putting them inside so that the wind doesn't blow them around or folks walk off with them as there aren't as many folks at the garden during the winter. . .
