RTS Home Accents 50-Gallon ECO Rain Barrel Made with 100% Recycled Plastic, Flat Back Rain Water Collection Barrel, Black

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.

Convenient easy and good.

I recently installed a 50-gallon rain barrel in my backyard, and I couldn't be happier with the results! This rain barrel is a game-changer for sustainable water conservation. It effortlessly collects rainwater from my gutters, providing me with a free and abundant water source for my garden and landscaping needs. The large capacity means I can store plenty of water to keep my plants hydrated during dry spells, reducing my reliance on municipal water supplies and saving money on my water bill. I appreciate the durable construction and user-friendly design of this rain barrel – the sturdy materials ensure it withstands the elements, while the convenient spigot makes it easy to access water whenever I need it. Plus, the sleek design blends seamlessly into my outdoor space, adding both functionality and aesthetic appeal. Installing a 50-gallon rain barrel has been one of the best investments I've made for my home and garden. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to conserve water and reduce their environmental impact

I ordered 3 to replace the 50 gallon trash cans I modified and all ended up splitting. The faucets are cheap, but so far are working just fine. I do have a leak on one of the 3 faucet seals. I keep a bucket tucked up under it to catch the drip. It's about a quart a day or so but it actually seems like it's finally clogging up as it seems to be leaking less now. The tops of 2 are buckled w/ one deforming to my favor as it makes a sort of sink that I can pour left over water into quickly and easily without running over the sides if I pour too quickly. All 3 are connected at the top as an over-flow to the one in front of it. My first is an 80 gallon reservoir that spill down into the first of these three. No leaks have been found between these top connections so far. Oh, I have these sitting on 2 cinder blocks so that I can put my watering cans and buckets under the faucet. I have not tried connecting a short hose but would not count on a hose working very well if you thought you might stretch one out to your beds.

These work great for capturing rain water. We ordered two and they were easy to install. The color and height were spot on as well so they look great attached to your house, shop, or barn. NOTE: We did drain and disconnect them for the winter as we live in the Midwest.

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

These barrels came from Amazon Warehouse so I save a few dollars on what were appropriately priced rain barrels. I had been looking for good quality, nice looking barrels for about 18 months and when these became available on Amazon Warehouse, I quickly ordered them before they were sold out. They were extremely easy to set up using a level to make sure they didn’t lean left or right or front or back. Placing them next to the house adds to their stability. They are well made with solid but not brittle plastic. They were easy to put together, don’t let anyone tell you they aren’t. They are very attractive and well worth the original price, so finding them at Amazon Warehouse was a real deal. The manufacturer has several different options at a variety of price points.👍😎

I bought this barrel with great hopes for a way to get some good rain water for my plants rather than using hose water that isn't as healthy. Rain barrel arrived and I was extremely excited. Had to wait a week or two for our firat rain and when it finally came I went out to make sure everything was working as it should and was collecting rain water. That's qhen the disappointment arrived. I noticed a leak about an inch above the spicket that causes the barrel to not fill once the water gets to that level just above the spicket (which is at the bottom meaning it doesn't fill more than a few inches). I took video and reached out to amazon/RTS for a replacement and they said I needed to send this barrel back through a UPS store due to its size this would 1. Be a major hassle and is something I can't even do with my vehicle or the fact that UPS is almost 100 miles away. 2. What are they going to do with this barrel that is defective more than im going to be doing with it which was unfortunately take it to the road for the trash collectors. Extremely disappointed they couldn't just send a replacement barrel when i have paid for a working rain barrel. I would highly advise anyone to go with another company that will do quality control before shipping a product or at the very least making it right with the customer if it is received defective. I have ordered thousands of items on Amazon and the few times I have received something incorrectly it has always been handled until now dealing with RTS!!!
