Answer 1

between the first and second barrel is 90 inches.....and between the 2nd and third is 105 inches and the 1st and 3rd barrels are 105 inches apart also....and usually you can go in the back of your local grocery store and get free barrels there because they use them to carry goods or flour and the usually throw them out anyways.....happy i could help :)
