Terrible product. Would give negative stars if I could. The metal spigot has to be screwed into the plastic threading which is a terrible design. I followed the directions exactly and the first time I tried screwing it in the plastic threading stripped and made the product worthless.

Awful!! The rims are painted on, water runs off because there is no rim around the top, and it looks so cheap! Spicket will not screw in evenly, tops and sides have dents. Nothing like the picture!! Go to Ace or Tractor supply. I'm going to cut the top off and use as a planter. The most horrible experience purchasing on line and I buy everything on line!

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.

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 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.

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 like almost everything about my new rain barrel! It is the perfect size and color for my patio. It has a nice screen attached but removable for cleaning on the top. It also came with a nice brass faucet that my gutter man installed for me. We had heavy rain today and the water I ran from the faucet was clear and appears safe to use to water my plants in my yard and garden. The only thing that I could complain about was that there was not a matching mounting block that I could purchase but this was easily resolved by placing a large flagstone underneath it to lift it up and balance it. Over-all, I love my new rain barrel and I give it five stars for quality and usefulness!

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.

I bought this product a month ago and I am very pleased with it. I use the collected rain water to water my garden vegetables, house plants and patio plants. All of my plants love the rain water I'm now giving them and are growing beautifully. I am very pleased with my new 50-Gallon Darkened Ribs Rain Wizard Barrel, and I will be purchasing a second 50-Gallon Rain Barrel very soon.

Easy to put together, looks nice and does the job I need to water my small garden bed. There are a few flaws I wasn’t pleased with: Mfg didn’t clean shavings and cut out pieces from inside the barrel. Hole in the top is so small it was hard to clean out debris. Faucet had a small drip after it was filled with water (used sealant to stop it). Overall it’s an average barrel that does the job
