A watering barrel won’t rot for 100 years if you do this: a summer cottage trick

A metal watering barrel won’t rust and will last for decades if you use this trick..

We’ll tell you how to significantly extend the 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 thick, large plastic bag.

Just put the bag in the barrel, and you can fill it with water for irrigation.

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

In a similar way, you can ‘repair’ a barrel in which cracks have already formed.
