Like it because we can water our plants right by it!

Green barrels

Rain barrel was just as advertised. Needed to put barrel on concrete blocks to be able to get sprinkling can under spout. Design would have been better if there was a gutter transition built in to the top so that house gutter just doesn’t rest on screened top, water does splatter all over. A little expensive for what you actually get.., a plastic barrel, but it works.

Nice high quality rain barrel. I would give it 5 stars if the overflow had a piece of screen over it to keep mosquitoes from breeding in it! 🤷‍♂️

Ugly but functional

It's a great start to collecting rain. The design could be better. There should be a connection to an overflow, since the Barrell feels up quickly. The hole at the top should also be larger to be able to reach down in the Barrell for either connecting to an overflow or attaching a connection. In addition the screen mesh on the top is too rigid, causing the water to splash out and down the sides. We made a larger hole and attached a different screen. Like I said, it a good start to what you need, but the design could be better.

The barrel did not match the picture online

Even after filling the barrel full of water and draining it there are foaming chemicals in the stored water.

Came with the spout broken. The bottom had a soft spot (plastic was super thin) and now has hole in the bottom. Havent been able to use it and tried to exchange. They wont exchange it or refund us.

Description says that it is linkable. The picture shows the linking system in the back. The one I received had no linking system. In the spot where it is supposed to be there are 2 solid protrusions of the same molded plastic the barrel is made of. No way, for water to come out and the black threaded piece in the picture which you attach a hose to is not there. Unusable except as a single barrel or the beginning of a linked system, which I already have.
