Review: Great Rain Barrel for Multiple Uses! - Got mine right before we had a heavy rainfall Easy to hook up. The main hose connects with a metal screw clamp. The rear flat overflow hose connects with just a plastic pull tie. You could hook any 1.5" hose up to it using a plastic tie or a clamp. It also includes another 1 foot flat hose to connect to a second rain barrel, if you wanted to connect two barrels together. The water from the front hose flows best when the barrel is 50% or more full of water, but if you use it simply to irrigate water from the barrel to some other area through a hose, water will freely flow out of the hose if the hose is lying flat on the ground. If you lift the barrel by placing it on a box or stand or even just some bricks, it'll give you even more pressure. The water pressure is based on the volume of water in the barrel and gravity. They sell a stand for this model, but you can use anything like wood, bricks, a crate or even a wide footstool to raise it higher if you want to. It looks a lot bigger in person than it does in the pictures. It's strong plastic and will definitely last. The top screen is attached to a circular ring of plastic and just sits on top of a plastic crossbar opening at the top of the barrell. I drilled two holes on top and put screws through it, just to hold it more firmly in place, but I don't think it'll come off that easily on it's own. A really strong wind gust might lift it off, but I doubt it'll be an issue. I'm just paranoid so I put a couple screws in it. I recommend this barrel over the others for one big reason - it has the largest top opening of all the ones I've seen. The other barrels have a narrow or small opening at the top, which are meant for closer or direct gutter connections. This one is great for me because I don't have a gutter to connect to it and I can catch free-dripping water coming down from about 15 feet off a corner roof. I have this barrel positioned under a corner roof that doesn't have a gutter connection because of the angle of the corner there. This barrel picks up most of the water dripping down from about 15 feet up and keeps the water off the ground and away from my home's foundation. I also attached a standard hose to the included connector switch and ran it 15' out to a veggie garden where I attached a 50' soaker hose which I have wound around the bottom of the plants. So now, not only do I have a barrel to collect the rainwater coming off my roof to protect my home's foundation, I am also keeping the soil in my veggie garden damp without using my water company water. Easily one of the best products out there for simple-irrigation of rainwater and saving a couple bucks on your water bill.
Review: Great product! Shipped quickly! - It was quite easy to get all set up. Seems to be of a sturdy material. We got rain here a couple days after I got it together, and it seems sealed up good, as I have not seen any leaks and it is retaining water. The wide opening at the top makes it so much easier to catch rain! Works well, and I can not wait for spring!! It shipped within 24 hours as well!!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will this hold up in freezing temperatures?**
A: My barrel just went through its first winter with average lows in the 20's.  One night we had a hard freeze where the temperature dropped to -6 degrees overnight.  Daytime the temperature would be above freezing in the 40's up to the 60's.  All during this period my barrel remained at the least, half full.  It survived the winter with water in it without any leaks or damage.  That is my experience under my weather condition in Texas.

**Q: so the screen lifts off so you could access inside in case there is debris or to clean?**
A: you can clean the inside by rinse it but not completely able to access.    Its because they have 3 non-detachable  bars  on top of barrel to support screen.  I think it also severed as safety for any cats and dogs not easly fall into the barrel.   this barrel is higher than most people's arm length so rinse it is properly the only way to clean it.   with the screen on it, its hardly any debris going in.  I am going to empty it and clean it once a year before the winter.  Hope this helps.  Overall, its good one and working well in my back yard.

**Q: Can you also scoop out water from the top with a gallon bucket?**
A: The axle-like crossbars are built into the main plastic of the barrel itself, so as another person noted, you cannot use a bucket to scoop water out unless you cut those out. Even then, it would have to be a small bucket. A five gallon one would not fit. The other problem for us is that we don't have gutter downspouts, so much of the incoming water will be deflected by this top structure. When they are only about half full, using the bottom hose will be quite slow. A friend gave these to us and we will probably have to cut them, but as was also mentioned, that might somewhat reduce the integrity of the structure.

**Q: Is it possible to get a longer piece for connecting two barrels? The piece that came with it is a little too short.**
A: Hello Margaret, The overflow and connector hose is 1.5" backwash hose for swimming pools. Contact your local swimming pool supply store. They may have the backwash hose on a big roll and can cut you whatever length you require.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good but not perfect
*by J***W on June 20, 2025*

Overall this rain barrel is pretty good and does the job. This is my first rain barrel and was shocked at how fast it filled up off of one of my house’s 4 downspouts. I'd buy it again. It’s not perfect though. Positives: -It looks pretty nice -It does the job well -The hose works great to fill watering cans, etc. -It was easy to install -Price seems pretty reasonable to me Negatives: -As others have mentioned the overflow hose is inadequate. I ended up plumbing in a better solution with black ABS pipe. Before my modification, with anything more than a drizzle of rain the overflow hose maxed out and the excess splashed out of the barrel and down the foundation of the house. -Mine had a minor leak at one of the seems on one of the ports that’s made for connecting to other rain barrels. I had to seal mine off with some rubber hose. It was an easy fix but should have been caught before it was shipped
