Barrel Raft

When we posted these barrels for sale, we never imagined they’d have a second life as a raft!

Leo picked up some barrels from Musgroves a few weeks ago and turned them into a homemade raft with his friends, and we’re seriously impressed with the result.

In true Kiwi No. 8 wire fashion, they transformed a few simple barrels into a floating adventure, and according to the makers it worked remarkably well. The raft made it across Lake Lyndon and back, carrying 8 people, with only a few dips into the water along the way!

This is just so cool. Thank you Leo for sharing these awesome pics with us – you’ll see some of his progress shots below.
