If you flipped the barrel upside down, does the bottom look like the rest of the barrel? Is it wood?

it's plastic, megan, like the rest of the barrel, and has a drain hole. tae bottom is the same color, but without the woodgrain impression, as i rememberber. i never see the bottom. i have mine on a big stump, and it's full of nasturtiums. i like mine.

Yes the bottom is made of the same material as the rest of it and no there is no wood. I will not make the mistake of buying another of these. It has many more cracks and chunks out of it now, and it has had no trauma to cause them. It just sits on the big iron cover of the monster something or other that is like a scab in my lawn compliments of the county, acting to hide said scab. I wish I had just got another half barrel wood whiskey container. Those last several years. I am not sure this thing will get through the winter.

Looks like wood overall but is thick plastic. Bottom is solid plastic with hole for drainage. Depending on how you were going to display plants it might look like wood.

Hello Shin Foong, I believe it looks exactly like the picture - wood on top, wood on side.

It is my understanding ( as I don't have one but gave these as a gift )..that you hold the COLORED barrel & twist to open from the top. Hope that helps.

No. Once the barrel is inserted all the way the handle unfolds and snaps into the open position. The button on it is pressed to close the handle again. Sorry it took so long. I didn't see your question.

Yes, the barrel is re-useable. I am on my 3rd batch right now. The first was scotch and came out ok. The second batch, in the same barrel, was tequila and it came out great. Third batch is also tequila.

I'm not familiar with that particular model. Does it have a wood or synthetic stock, and what style? I will try to upload a user photo of how I mounted it to my model.

Dont know about the one you purchased. I purchased 2 of these and the barrel moves to all position including the last one.

It's not worth getting...it won't screw on to the barrel (clockwise bearings) and it's super fragile. I think it'd be wiser to make one rather than buy this one. Otherwise, just buy a twenty dollar one that matches your barrel and you should be fine.

Fake gun (hence non-firing) - but it's a beautiful decoration or prop. End of "barrel" is closed - bullet "loading clip" is non-functioning. Other than that, for all intents and purposes it looks and *acts* real. Again I say, beautiful decoration or "prop" gun. I enjoy having it as a decoration and conversation piece. Also, it makes for a "real enough" training piece for safety demonstrations and practice drills. 'Nuff said :)

I'm sorry, I don't remember but I don't think it was wood as this would not be in line with the price. It was a gift for my daughter's friend so I never had it in my possession for long.

Lol absolutely not! The only part that rotates is the top in order to put wood in.

It is smaller than a wooden whiskey barrel. I found that it does not hold up. It develops cracks and it did not make it through the harsh winter we had this year in my area. I went back to the wooden barrel. Home Depot had a really nice one that looks like a whiskey barrel but is not. Or at least it was never used for whiskey. It is much better in my opinion. Frankly I would not advise buying the Ames one. I always get 5 or more years out of the wooden ones and this fiberglass one cracked within days and I glued it back together. Maybe you are not supposed to leave them out over the winter. However it is very heavy filled with dirt and I did not want to empty it. I always plant a second year in the soil by fertilizing for the second go round and have always had success. I did not like it at all!

Mine has a shiny chrome barrel. It wasn't very expensive. Maybe paid $10 or $15 for it.

well, the top and the front and back are nice thick wood, but the sides look differnet. I am not an expert (just an old lady) lol, but I think it's just a thinner wood on the sides. I love mine.

It most likely depends on the type of barrel they send you. The one I got is still going strong. We turned it into a table and love it.

Hi Ben,What exactly is barrel droop? If you mean when the barrel is in the locked position, I didn't notice any

yes it has a full bottom. there is a stand that the barrel sets in that holds it off the ground/deck approx 4". I would not use on a wood deck or other surface that may ignite without a protective pad.
