I bought this barrel and was going to assemble it the day it came. It only came with the spigot and not the connecting piece. Not happy. Also, having a hard time finding someone to contact for replacement parts.

No hole in barrel and no part for tap to screw into....there is suppose to be a hole. Directions do not say what your suppose to screw tap onto something or to drill a hole- an email to maker of barrel explained it. What a pain!

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.

Got this for my son. He loves it and put on a pedestal type of platform so he can get to the spout easily. He waters his flowers and garden with it. Great use for natural rain water, which is better for plants. Very attractive rain barrel as well. Nice and sturdy.

Works as expected, though we haven't had much rain. We did hijack the design. As this was not connected to our downspout but is used to catch fast running water off the roof, we took off the lid and put screening around the top. Hopefully this will catch roof runoff and keep leaves and debris out of the water in the barrell.

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!

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.

I bought my first ever rain barrel. It came within a week, look just as advertise, nice looking Big barrel all attachments were placed inside. The concept of this rain catcher is great, but could use some revision. My first hard rain barrel filled in super fast and started pouring out the vents on top and spraying out too where gutter hose attaches, even tho I had my drain hose open to drain and attached . The problem is the nozzle is a 1/4 inch as the drain hose will be and can no way drain fast enough for the amount of water coming in to barrel. It takes about half of barrel to have enough weight to even drain at all. So even tho nozzle is at bottom it will drain to about half of barrel only.

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.

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!
