Wooden Water Butt Bungs – 2¼″ (57 mm) Tapered Barrel Sealing Plugs

Wooden Water Butt Bungs – 2¼″ (57 mm) Tapered Barrel Sealing Plugs

Precision‑turned wooden water butt bungs — tapered design for sealing barrel shive holes securely.

High‑quality wooden water butt bungs designed to seal the shive hole (the larger side opening) on your wooden barrels. If you’re converting old barrels — such as whiskey, wine or spirit casks — into garden water butts, rainwater collectors or decorative features, these bungs provide a reliable, traditional sealing solution.

Manufactured from locally sourced, FSC‑certified beech, each bung is precision‑turned and tapered to create a secure, leak‑resistant fit. The slight taper (typically between 54 mm–57 mm on the narrower end) ensures a snug seal in the barrel hole for effective water retention and long‑lasting performance.

These bungs are specifically suited to:

- Sealing the shive hole on refurbished wooden barrels
- Converting barrels into rainwater collection systems
- Garden watering applications and decorative use
- Traditional woodwork and rustic barrel projects

Size: 2¼″ (57 mm) diameter, tapered for secure fitting
Whether you’re recycling a vintage barrel or creating a practical garden water butt, these wooden bungs offer a natural, durable and traditional solution that complements your timber‑based setup.
