A typical barrel in Skyrim

Barrels are storage containers in most Elder Scrolls games.

In The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, some barrels are called thief caches because they are used by the Thieves Guild to hide weapons, lockpicks and other resources their fellow thieves may find useful. They only appear after a city influence quest has been completed there. Some barrels in Skyrim are called fish barrels because they specifically contain various types of fish. Likewise, mead barrels are named because they specifically contain mead.

There are two types of barrels that can be found in most locations. Most barrels can be searched; however, there is one variation that cannot be. Barrels usually contain vegetables, such as carrots, cabbages, potatoes and other edible items. Barrels usually respawn in 48 hours, removing anything placed in them and restocking its inventory. Barrels found in owned locations and a few shared shacks will not respawn items.

Barrels can be made in homesteads with the Hearthfire DLC, and require one sawn log, one nail and one iron ingot.
