The commercial barrels have spigots, which is really nice. The other one we have to dunk pitchers into it to have access to water. It works fine, though. I also have 20-gallon galvanized washtubs to catch the overflow of the two commercial barrels. And, I now have stock tank heaters in all but one of these (the commercial barrel at the west/cold end of the house, which has a HUGE ice block in it) so *if* they try to freeze again, I can thaw them. I can also offer warm water to the livestock when it's below freezing, which they appreciate.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14894152513746944497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1142677124894149994.post-74045610015834029512013-01-07T15:06:58.618-05:002013-01-07T15:06:58.618-05:00Did you buy or make your own rain barrels?
