More Uses for Wood Barrels

We wrote a blog on uses for wooden barrels almost a year ago. This is a topic we've decided to revisit. So if you have a wood barrel and are looking for ideas on how to use it, then you have come to the right place. Here are a few uses that we discovered:

1. Cut a wooden barrel in the bathroom into 4 pieces and make shelves with it:

2. Use barrels as planters on the porch or in the yard.

3. Refurbish one into a bathroom sink.

4. If you are lacking on storage, wooden barrels make great storage items, you can store items in the barrel and leave the barrel out in plain sight as a decor piece.

5. Cut a barrel in half and create two side tables from it, would be great on either side of the sofa or as night stands.

6. If you own a shop, a wooden barrel makes a great display for merchandise.

7. Just have part of a barrel? Create the seat of a swing with it.

8. Wooden barrels make great trash containers, just put your trash bag inside, or if your barrel is big enough, you can stash an entire plain jane trash can inside.

9. Cut out the bottom of a barrel, clean it very well and use as a dog house.


10. Another idea for your four legged friend is to create a dog bed with one.
