Stains & Finishes
 
       
 
  Barrels
Our barrel components are hand crafted by our Cooper (Barrel Maker) using refurbished French oak wine barrels.

Stains
The promotional photography opposite shows our classic natural varnished barrel however our barrels can be stained and varnished to suit your individual taste or décor. We are happy to cater to your requirements.

Our aquarium agents have a range of samples to help you decide.

Hoops
The barrel section’s metal bands (or hoops) can also be painted in a selection of colours to complement your chosen stain. In the classic design opposite the barrels are not stained at all, only varnished, and the hoops are primed and painted black (See Opposite).

We have found that the spray-painted "Silver Hoop" option also works well when combined with one of the darker barrel stains since this provides an interesting visual contrast and a contemporary element to the design.

If you are considering something different, custom-made barrel sections and hoop samples can be ordered in for you to help you decide.
