I had the same problem as another customer did with one of the drain holes in the top leaking to the inside. I noticed this after I already had it set up with a pond pump to water mu plants so I wasn't going to go to the hassle of returning it. I just put a screw in the tubing so it doesn't leak. The holes in the cover where the water drains in were way to small to let the water run in. Half of it would run off on the ground. I just took a piece of screen and made my own cover. Works much better. I got mine ar Sam's for $49 so it was a good real regardless of the two problems I had. I have seen this same barrel online for twice that.

Save where you can

This rain barrel only has one spigot unlike the others I views that had 2. It is low and hard to get water from unless you get a hose extender or something similar. It is very nice to look at and I love the planter on top. But do NOT put the dirt and plant directly into the planter or it will get washed out. Put play in pot and then set in top of rain barrel.

I purchased three for our new home, several of my neighbors saw them and bought them too. Theirs have long since been removed. Here's what is happening to mine. I did not keep a heavy clay pot on top... it just dried out and cracked. It's too late to run the downspout under the pavers without an expense I do not wish to have. I want to purchase another, in fact I would prefer the same unit. My other two did not do this. Perhaps this one was defective?

Good quality rain barrels, we got two but we have not put them together yet.

It was the wrong color, very disappointed. I ordered brown and got a nasty orange!

Barrel is gorgeous for outdoor decor however, it arrived 2 months after ordering without the spicket as shown in picture. Plastic fitting just glued in so I do not see this lasting long at all. Will be returning. Not a good product for the price.

I have had rain barrels before. I could put a hose on them and had great pressure. This one is absolutely none. Wss suppose to have brass fittings, they are all plastic. I would not recommend this at all.

Very sturdy and well designed. Love the planter on top.

Came ahead of schedule. Easy to setup. Looks like it will work for a long time.
