Genuine Half Oak Whiskey Barrel With GIANT Floating Tap Water Feature | Complete Kit | Handmade in the UK | Free UK Delivery
The largest ready-to-buy floating tap water feature available anywhere. Short of commissioning a bespoke installation, you won't find anything bigger.
Our most impressive kit. A genuine half oak whiskey barrel, a giant brass gate valve tap, and water pouring endlessly in a way that shouldn't be possible.
The Cooper features our largest gate valve tap ever built, and is the largest available anywhere on the market - dramatic, solid brass, and mounted on a taller and extra wide tube that rises straight out of a genuine half oak whiskey barrel. The Cooper is a true garden centrepiece. Next to our standard gate valve it's in a different league entirely. The kind of feature that remains captivating from the other end of the garden.
This is what happens when we make the tap as big as it can possibly be.

The Barrel
Each half barrel is a genuine ex-whiskey cask - unique in character, weathered by years of use. No two are identical in grain, colour or patina. We hand-pick every barrel for quality, fit and condition, and test the complete feature before it leaves us.
If you'd like to choose your specific barrel before we build, get in touch - we're happy to show you what we have in stock.
The Tap
Our largest gate valve wheel to date - and the largest available for direct purchase anywhere. Hand painted in a two-colour lacquered finish with a standard choice of 7 interchangeable colours - or tell us what you want and we'll make it. The copper spout delivers our best floating illusion yet - the extra height and scale of The Cooper makes the effect more dramatic than any other feature in our range.
