RTS Companies Inc Home Accents Polyethylene 50 Gallon Flat Back Eco Rain Barrel with Stand, Black Color

Love this rain barrel, light and well designed

Got this for my father and he absolutely loves it. It is flat on the back so you can put it against a wall or a deck flush (he's a construction guy, so he loves being able to do that). Filled right up on our first desert monsoon rain and he has been using it to water his grapes and garden area. Very well made, and it's a plus to have all the fittings pre-drilled and working. You don't need a pump for this, you can attach a hose right on the bottom of the barrel, or open it up and let the water out from the bottom. My father put it up on cinder blocks so he could get a bucket or a watering can underneath the spigot with ease. Plus, it looks like a whiskey barrel, very pretty in the yard. These cost twice as much in the garden store, and the ones in the garden store are not 55 gallons like this one, the capacity is much smaller.

It's supposed to be a good idea product but mines hold no water and it leaks through the side. It's plastic so I don't know why it should leak

The seams are messy but as long as they hold, then this is good. At first I thought the top came dented but soon realized what a dummy I am because the "dent" was on purpose so the rain water leads into the vented hole lol. Good for the price and looks nicer than a regular plastic barrel and fits nicely against a building. Prices for nice barrels like this one in the stores tend to be much higher so I give this 5 stars.

Very happy with the rain barrel. Solid, sturdy, and works as it should. Easy to hook up a hose to use saved water. Would buy another one if I needed one.
