Good Ideas Impressions Bark 50 Gallon Rain Saver - Terra Cotta

It's the perfect size for the area where it was installed. It came in one piece, the box was in perfect condition. Also, didn't take my husband very long to install.

Beautiful. I have it my flower garden. Blends in with the trees. I use this to save the rain water off the pool cover

Using the water saved to water plants and lawn, now it doesn't run under patios.

Works great and looks nice.

Just as advertised

I was quite impressed with the speed of delivery and the design/quality of this product. Classy looking enough to keep on the deck or patio. Love the thoughtful idea of being able to plant flowers or simply put potted plants on the top. All in all great product!

This barrel is smaller than I thought and smaller than ones I have gotten in the past from Sam's club in store and the water flow is definitely slower. Otherwise it works well.

So some research prior to getting a rain barrel. This rain Barrell filled up WAY faster than we expected!

I bought this product because it was one of the most attractive & affordable rain barrels, plus it comes in a variety of colors. I bought it in terra cotta. The problem is how to link the barrels. My contractor says you cannot & the customer service rep at Good Ideas says you can. I think the contractor is probably right, however, when I received the product in the mail, they were POORLY PACKAGED! When I tried to drop them off today at FEDEX, they would not take them in the original packaging. FedEx wanted $34 per each rain barrel to send it off. IT SIMPLY IS NOT WORTH the TROUBLE!!! I will try to do it myself with You Tube as Good Idea has not been able to provide me with sufficient information. They really need to design a 100 gallon rain barrel as in Los Angeles (which is a very big city with lots of construction that is on-going) there is a requirement for rain barrels in multiples of 100. It would save space to have fewer barrels and to not have to link them. I had wanted one not made of plastic, but wood rots and ceramic is too heavy and comes in smaller units. Next time, when I work on the house, I will put in a pond (an alternative to a rain barrel).

First of all, I had to order 3 rain barrels before I finally got one. My first order was cancelled because it was actually out of stock. The second one I ordered sat dormant with a label created for many days. My money was refunded, then 3 days later it arrived....9 days late. By this time, I had ordered a 3rd rain barrel (all from the same company,} which arrived the day before the second order. I was responsible for taking the second back to FedEx to ship back. Now to the actual rain barrel. There is virtually no rim on the rain barrel that I ended up with. This makes it impossible to properly place the downspout. It just sits on top of the screen. The spigot on the side, which I intended to use to fill my watering can, drips constantly if there is water at that level. So by the time I need water, it has already fallen below that level. Lastly, since the downspout just sits on top of the screen, the planter fills with water drowning my flowers, which were pretty expensive. I had high hopes and an image in my head of how this should have played out. Now I will need to put in new downspout since it was cut to land at the top of the rain barrel. The whole experience has been nothing but frustrating and very disappointing.
