Will be trying these today since rain is in the forecast!

Filled it up with 20 gallons of water no leaks

50-Gal. rain barrel. It came very quickly. It was fully assembled when it arrived. The color is browner than the picture shows. We were wanting more of a cedar color. It works great and collects the rainwater. Note that this sets very close to the ground. We have it up on paver blocks so you can reach the spicket.

We bought these a month ago and we are thankful for them! They are sturdy and functional as well as aesthetic to the property.

The brass spigot fits a standard hose fitting, btw. The 6x8 inch plastic screen can easily be trimmed to fit your downspout. There's a round 5" hole in the barrel top, underneath the screen, which fit my flexible round plastic downspout perfectly. I trimmed the screen to match the 5" ohole in the barrel top so that the screen had a custom appearance.

This barrel should be a bit larger , say 25%, and have 2 outlets for hose connection to allow for barrel to drain at a rate that will keep up with a strong rain. As it is, a strong steady rain will cause barrel to overflow before hose outlet can drain.

i liked the look and ease of light weight installation. B ut this thing leaks bad and i tried to hook a hose up to the bottom faucet part and it does not attach without faucet pulling out. i dont know if its the cheap plastic or the faucet that came with.

I would say overpriced Probably should have purchased a " stand" to put on for stability and draining access BUT did not know that you can purchase it . Lots of debris inside from drilling and cutting during assembly - RINSE OUT WITH HOSE B-4 you install

Bottom had cracked and is no longer good for use.

I bought 2 of these barrels because they were advertised with a brass spigot for a garden hose hook-up. However, one arrived with a brass spigot, but the other arrived with a cheap plastic spigot that likely won't last through the winter. Very disappointed and not sure who and how to get in touch to get it corrected.
