I've seen them online at a lot of places, but they're all over $100 each. If I couldn't get one from Terracycle.net, I was going to try Gardeners.com.
There are a bunch of tutorials online of creating your own from wine barrels, pickle barrels, even soap barrels from car washes.
The ones sold online have a fine mesh screen to prevent mosquitos and there are also tablets to drop in the water, just to be sure. Also, the barrels are supposed to be elevated on bricks or cinderblocks so that the water will travel down. Not to mention, the higher it is, the less chance a child will be able to climb up.
