This is the first time I have ever received a product I was not satisfied with from Walmart. There was no damage to the packaging and it arrived in a timely manner. However, the first time water went into the barrel I found a hole in the seam towards the lower end of the unit. Water simply streamed out the side. I will contact Walmart in hopes of some satisfaction, but at this point I can't recommend this product to anyone.

This is a good size and it's manageable and can be moved when empty. It's convenient that it has a flat side so it can sit closely up against the house or other location. In an heavy downpour, it's amazing how quickly this 50 gallon container fills!

It is a nice barrel. I painted it to match the house and it looks great. I was disapointed the overflow clogged on first use. The water ran off the top. On the home made barrel this replaced, I had a top overflow to a hose. No shut off on top but I could direct the over flow to lawn or drain. This barrel over flows next to house.

All parts were there. Used the overflow port to another barrel. Had to drill out the hole which comes plugged std which is good, just need a drill motor and bit. The bands representing the steel on a real barrel were not painted. The 1st one I had was so I just painted some on it. Had a can of black spray paint and some painters tape laying around. No problem., looks like the otherone now. New model adds the intake port.

I've been building rain harvesting systems for awhile now. These barrels are convenient in that they are essentially all set up. They have some major design flaws though. First the opening at the top should be more toward or in the center of the top, so that water can flow into the low point. Also if you try to connect barrels for overflow, you have to seal off the front overflow opening, because it is at the same level as the overflow connectors. They appear to be designed for more of a one barrel system. They look good, and so far have held up well.

So happy to add a second rain barrel! Watering garden is so easy now

The color goes well with my house

I havent put in up yet..but I do love it.hope to connect to gutter tomorrow..
