Rain Barrels in Calgary

[digital-audiophile]

Who has them?

I went to UFA and they did not have any in stock, stoped at Greengate and they had fancy ones for $300 :(

Any tips??

:) I'm going to hit home first as it is close to home, if that fails Ill try the ecco store, just a little more difficult as it is downtown with no good parking close.

I just need something a little btter to store my ro/di water than a garbage pail :)

I grabbed one this afternoon from the Calgary Eccostore. $70 with the faucet. They have another one same size but with a second drain on the top and a hole cut in it with mesh for $75.. figured I would save the $5 :p

I ended up spending $150 in the store as I also got a composter, a recycling bin for pop cans and a bottle of organic baby wash for my daughter :p


Anyone who is looking for a rain barrel should go to this place. :)


PS I stopped in Home depot and they looked at me like I had two heads when I asked if they had rain barrels :p
