Planter, Water Garden Container, Beverage Cooler, Catchall … the Uses are Endless!
SAN RAFAEL, CALIFORNIA, April 4, 2003 – The adage, “What’s old is new again,” is apropos when considering the new DuraBarrel™ Whiskey Barrel by Worldwise. Made from recycled plastics and steel, the DuraBarrel boasts the look and feel of a genuine wood whiskey barrel in a lightweight, easily moveable, multipurpose container right for today’s uses. The DuraBarrel makes an excellent planter or water garden container for the lawn or garden, a handy beverage cooler for social gatherings or a catchall for garden tools or sandbox toys.
“Worldwise has combined vintage form with new technology to create a modern product with timeless, multi-purpose appeal,” said Aaron Lamstein, president and chief executive officer of Worldwise, a leading supplier of environmentally responsible consumer products.
The DuraBarrel maintains its ancestral appeal with remarkably true “wood” color, grain and texture and rust-able steel banding. But its beauty is not just skin deep. As a performer, the DuraBarrel stacks up favorably over wood or plastic barrels.
Lightweight, watertight and unbreakable, the American-made DuraBarrel is stronger, cleaner and easier to move than wood barrels, and it is far more durable and attractive than plastic barrels. Unlike wood, the material will never collapse, split or rot, which means that the bottom will never fall out or the planks separate. It won’t attract rodents and other pests and is altogether less messy to handle. For all its substance, the DuraBarrel weighs in at only 16.5 pounds – approximately one-third the weight of a 45-pound wood barrel.
The DuraBarrel features a 3.4 cubic-foot capacity, making it a striking plant container for the deck or patio area. Since the DuraBarrel is watertight, it also makes for an excellent water garden. Unlike real wood whiskey barrels, no extra liner is necessary for water retention. The DuraBarrel can be used indoors and out. If drainage is desired, it’s a cinch to drill drain holes in the bottom.
The DuraBarrel Whiskey Barrel (MSRP $27.99-49.99 depending on size) comes with a 20-year limited warranty as further assurance of its durability. The DuraBarrel is available at major retailers nationwide. For more product information, or to find a store that offers the DuraBarrel near you, visit www.worldwise.com or call 800-967-5394.
