55 Gallon Water Drum

55 Gallon Water Drum

A large drum is perfect for emergency water storage, for large events such as Burning Man, or for use as a rain barrel. Drums are made from HDPE, a highly durable, food-grade, BPA-Free plastic that is the least prone to leaching of all the plastics. It is the preferred plastic for long-term water storage.

We will clean and sanitize your drum for you and have it waiting when you arrive. Drums are loaded into your vehicle and filled in place with a hose. Please set aside at least one to two hours for filling during Burning Man, but be prepared for longer waits during busy hours. Drums must be placed over or in front of the vehicle axle. Please see our Burning Man info page for more details.
