I was hoping to use a few 50 - 60 gallon wooden barrels next year in our ghost town themed haunt. That is until I looked on Craigs list and they want $100 a popAny body have ideas on where I can start looking for cheaper barrels?

I know you can get the plastic ones cheaper, and you could paint them to look like wood, or glue thin foam to them carved to look like wood. I feel like I saw someone on here paint one to look like wood.

They are hard to find, but some nurseries have them. You can also check with pottery stores and evan call wineries -- if you have some in your area.

Do you live near any wineries? They will sometimes sell off old wine barrels to the public. I got a couple of mine from a local lumber yard (That bought them from a winery) for $45.00 each.
This last one I got was at an estate sale for $25.00....

Thanks, looks like I need to call some wineries and nurseries. I can't help but wonder if they smell like wine lol. All I know is when my neighbor makes wine it sure stinks for a week or so lol. (serious gag worthy stink)

Keep in mind you can always cut the barrels in half from top to bottom and from one barrel you now have two!

Too expensive. You can get one much cheaper from your local winery or distillery. Originally Posted by ricl
