Ben Napier's Rain Barrel Alternative Adds Curb Appeal To Your Home
By BROOKE YOUNGER
After an episode of "Home Town" air that showed Ben Napier's surprise greenhouse for his wife, Erin, he shared an Instagram post featuring two unique rain barrels.
Instead of a typical clunky and large rain barrel, Ben opted for two sleek barrels that mimic terracotta pots. In the caption, Ben shared that he found them on gardeners.com.
These teardrop-shaped barrels, or "rainwater urns," come in two shades, soft brown or classic terracotta, hold up to 65 gallons of water each and cost $299 per barrel.
There are other alternatives if terracotta isn't your style, such as the traditional wood barrel-like design from Tractor Supply or the gray brick-like rain barrel from Lowes.
