Good Ideas Impressions Bark 90 Gallon Rain Saver - Oak

I love this rain barrel. I wanted a larger capacity for my backyard. This 90 gallon unit is awesome. I built a platform for it out of wall blocks to make it easy to use the bottom faucet. I can't wait for the next rainfall. It also looks great with the textured sides.

This rain barrel is beyond what we expected. It filled up once and we have no problem with the valves. It looks so nice. We reconfigured the downspout with a pvc reducer and siliconed a piece of screen into it to allow the flow to go directly into the barrel instead of just the screen at the top. It allows us to pull it out to clean it. We were so happy to see a drain hole for the plant area at the top. We could not be happier!

We love this rain barrel with handy two spigots. It is a good value for 90 gallons. The only problem is the top—meant to be a planter—doesn't completely drain since the drain hole is not quite at the bottom of the planter.

So far, so good. It arrived with one broken valve, Sams refunded that part and we bought new one.

Largest rain saver and textured sides very nice. Color, however not as pictured--much lighter. It still looks ok so not returning. Would like it if lid came off for maintenance or cleaning.

Pros: Large capacity and does not deform in the heat. Brass hose fittings are high quality. Cons: A lot of teflon tape was needed to keep fittings from leaking and there is no drainage for the top planter.

The shipping was lost for 2 weeks and when a substitute order arrived it's carton was literally destroyed. The packaging was inadequate to the size , shape and weight of the product. The product is made of high end plastic so damage was minimal but parts were lost. Wouldn't recommend ever having Walmart ship this again. Pickup only.

I don't like the way the top does not drain the water. Its a brewing ground for mosquitoes

This a replacement of a previous barrel so I'm cautiously optimistic. Two things one might do to avoid problems: either drill additional holes in the top portion of barrel to allow excess flow from downspout to escape the barrel; or place a diverter on the gutter downspout to divert the water flow when the barrel is full. DO NOT allow the barrel to overflow in the winter. When the water freezes it will cause the barrel to bust out at the bottom.

I love the look and the fact it holds 90 gallons of water, but I can't get enough pressure when I hook up the hose which is why I bought this rain barrel.
