50 Gallon Flat Back Rain Barrel
Embrace nature's solution to our emerging water shortage--collect rainwater! When drought sets in and rain is short, rain barrels can provide that precious water you need for your lawn and garden. Our authentic oak barrel texture is molded into each barrel and will not fade, rot or risk insect infestation. The RTS Home Accents rain barrel has many unique features including a flat back to sit flush against a wall, linkable to other rain barrels for increased capacity, screen to keep out debris and insects, and a shut off valve for hose hook up with dual overflow. This rain barrel can provide up to 50 gallons of pure unchlorinated water. During heavy rain falls, a typical roof can produce hundreds of gallons of water and by saving that water, you can reduce your average water usage. With those kinds of savings, this rain barrel can pay for itself in just a few seasons. A front side overflow keeps water from flooding against your outside wall. It is recommended that you drain your barrels when temperatures approach the freezing point. Optional barrel stands create a larger offset between the spigot and the ground, making it easier to fill watering cans and for general use.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
The one negative is the spigot is really low on the bottom, no room to attach a hose as is, so set in on top of something. Either buy the stand accessory made to go with it, or we used paver bricks that matched our pavers to set it on to raise it up enough to attach a hose. Overall, would recommend.
My initial review of this product was pretty bad, but it restored my faith in humanity when I was treated so well by their customer service.
Reviewed in the United States on February 4, 2024
I cut my guttering and reattached the diverter to lead the water into the barrel. This only took about half an hour. Because the spigot is placed at the very bottom of the barrel, I put the barrel up on cinder blocks (purchased for a few bucks at Lowe's) so I would have enough space to fill a watering can. It was difficult to bring the can close enough to the spigot, so I attached a 3 foot hose ($5 at Walmart) and this seems to work fine. This is my first barrel so it was a bit difficult to adjust to the small amount of water pressure but I have learned some patience. All in all I'd say it does the job.
