Rain barrel came without spigot attached. Hole was cut but hole was left inside of rain barrel along with the plastic shavings! Necessary to unscrew screen and remove the hole cutout and shavings before setting up rain barrel! I have bought this type of barrel before and never had to do that cleanup.

Environmentally friendly! Catch and conserve water! Great price and fast delivery! We have 4 of these (linked by 2's), a 200 gallon capacity. Know that in Northern climates they will need to be emptied and flipped upside down (very easy to do) so they don't collect water, freeze and crack over winter.

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.

Due to other work being done in the area of the house that this rain barrel will be placed, we haven't installed it as of this date. But we know that it will do the job that we need done.

Be very careful when shopping. Look at different colors and you might switch barrel sizes. I was reordering more barrels and the page somehow switched from 50 gallon units to 40 gallon units which I had to return.

Love the look but I have a steel roof and it couldn't handle the amount of water coming off into the barrel. I had it hooked directly to the down spout and left the spigot open to help drain excess but it drains so slow it didn't help.

Very nice looking barrel that matched my house trim and shutters perfectly. Made of fairly sturdy materials. Tap handle and screens included. Good price and seems to be a good value for the money.

I don't like that it came from China that wasn't clearly written on it. And inside it had a this piece contains lead toxins. That wasn't written anywhere either. I mean I'm watering my vegetable garden do I really want to put lead on it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have had experience with this brand in the past and wanted to stick with it. We are seeking to link together several rain barrels to capture and save water. These are designed for that.
