Love this rain barrel. The color looks very realistic and the cover is a perfect fit. Looking forward to using it soon after spring arrives to use watering my rose bushes and Hostas.

Living in the desert southwest, water is precious, and being able to collect what little rainwater we get and store it for use with my backyard plants is essential. I've been using collapsible barrels for the last couple of seasons but they can't take the environmental punishment of our intense summers and I needed something more permanent/durable. The 55-gallon size and height dimensions were perfect for my needs and paired up well with the downspout diverter I had already been using. The flat back made it easy to mount it flush up against the side of my house and I really like the quality of the look/finish of the 'barrel' exterior. It has a removable long rectangular mesh screen for the top that keeps out debris and critters and the mesh is fine enough to block mosquitoes from getting in and setting up a breeding factory. The screen rests in a recessed slot and it's easy to pop it out for a quick wash if it gets blocked up for easy maintenance.I was less impressed with the spigot included, however. It's sturdy brass but uses an internal compression gasket to close off instead of a ball cock, so I ended up replacing it with a brass bulkhead spigot that provides a better setup and allows for a greater volume of water flow out as well by comparison. Some care was required to do this as the bottom plug's threads are plastic and fragile and the plumber's tape (included with the rain barrel spigot hardware) is essential to ensure a good seal. I also encountered fit issues with the barrel lid, it fits tightly at the rear but the front didn't, creating a noticeable gap/bulge that could only be fixed by using a pair of self-tapping screws to secure it. There are also some quality issues with the cutout at the top for the connection fitting, which allows for daisy chaining to another barrel. It was uneven and needed to be trimmed out with a knife to be the correct size. I do like the design of the overflow integrating with the lid to create a spout as it meant I could place a splash/runoff diverter that used to be at the downspout at the base of the barrel to catch it effectively.The quality issues above are the only things holding this back from being a 5-star product. All in all, it's a large capacity and durable rain barrel solution and fits what I need for that side of my house.

Not sure who drilled the hole for the overflow but it was done poorly. Not centered and poorly drilled. I'm gonna have to find a different washer so it will seat well. Wish they would have not drilled it at all. I could have done a much better job with a hole saw. I have another one of these that works really well. Well made. We use the to catch water for watering plants, that is when we get rain (Calif). I like the fact that they look like wooden barrels also. I have stands for both. The screen works really well for keeping mosquitos out. (Keep the overflow covered or they will get in and lay eggs. Four starts only because of the poorly drilled overflow hole.

This barrel arrived undamaged and looks nice. I like the decorative look of it and the flat back to allow it to sit against a building better. The only problem we’ve had so far is the fixture for the spigot. It appears to be just glued in the hole, a piece of plastic for the spigot to screw into. We set up the barrel and leveled it before filling. Everything was looking good as we began filling it and set up a hose on it to test it. Then I noticed a leak behind the flange in which the spigot was screwed. As my husband tried to tighten it, the whole plastic flange popped out of the hole in the barrel. Since he works with hoses and fittings, he knew he could fix it with a bulkhead, which has a gasket on both outside the barrel & inside the barrel. We couldn’t find one the right size at the home improvement stores, so we ordered one here on Amazon. Frustrated to be delayed due to one poor quality aspect of this barrel. The fitting arrived today and we hope to install it tomorrow or Thursday. Hopefully nothing else goes wrong.
