We'll tell you how to significantly extend the service life of a watering barrel.

How to extend the life of a barrel

As a rule, summer residents apply moisture-resistant enamel or bitumen to the inner surface of the barrel, but there is a much simpler way.

All you need is a large, thick plastic bag.

We simply put the bag in the barrel and we can fill it with water for irrigation.

Thanks to the package, the metal surface of the barrel will not come into contact with water, and therefore rust will not form.

In a similar way, you can “fix” a barrel in which cracks have already formed.
