Rain Barrel Gray 50gl

Love this rain barrel. Looks great and works perfectly!

I have two of these. One purchased about 7 years ago, the other in 2021. On both I have replaced the drain plug with a brass spigot and tossed the plastic one (why it gets 4 stars and not 5). Both are working well and fill nicely after a good rain storm or two, if your gutters are clean. I put cage type spout guards on those feeding the barrels to avoid blockage at the diverter.

So far product is great. Arrived quickly and was easy to assemble. The helpful hints were great and helped in the quick assembly. Now waiting for it to rain to see how it fills up. Hardest part was building the retaining wall to set it on.

We added a spigot to the bottom for a garden hose. We fill our water cans from the top spigot. Love the planter top. 1/2 inch of rain the day after installation filled it up, and the combination fill/diverter hose worked perfectly. (That's a 2 x 3 downspout in the picture.)

Seemed to go together well. I heard so swear words from the back yard. I am loving having a water source by my greenhouse!!

Not much you can say about a plastic barrel.

The color is much lighter than the picture. Not what we expected

Rain barrel is easy to set up and works as advertised
