RTS Home Accents Polyethylene 50 Gallon Flat Back Eco Rain Barrel, Black Color

This rain barrel is sturdy and also has a lot of eye appeal. I got it installed right before we had a pretty good storm and it filled up the 50 gallon barrel by 2:00 am. Yes, I was outside checking it. I am seriously considering purchasing a second one for the overflow.

Love the look of this Rain Barrel. It looks strong and dependable. It's not that expensive. We haven't had a lot of rain lately; can't wait to get it filled up. We're only allowed to water our yard once a week so this would be a big help.

So easy to assemble, clear directions provided. The spigot assembly was also easy. Everything worked as it should. Solid size with a flat back, perfect for my set up, will make the barrel more sturdy. Incredible value, great design- I'll check out more from this company.

Delivery was quick and the setup time was minimal and required only a little modification to put barrel up on blocks and cut back the gutter downspout. Now for a little rain to fill it!

I didn't realize that the top doesn't come off so you better make sure that you put the smallest screen possible on the hole. There is no way to clean it out. The one that comes with it isn't small enough. The plastic spigot that comes with the barrel doesn't really thread in the hole properly. Make sure to use the tape that comes with it. That will help with the minor leaking near the spigot. Also be prepared for the water to get pretty warm since the barrel is a dark brown, more like a black color. But overall for the price, it does what I need it to.

Everything seems great. I haven't filled it with water yet. The plastic screen wouldn't fit the recess without trimming. It works but needs a little manipulation. Not a big deal, just trim and it sits flat with screws holding it.

I assembled this a few weeks ago, followed the instructions, and easy to assemble. This worked really well for a few weeks but now it has a constant leak coming from the spigot. It is too full now to return so I will just attempt to keep a bucket under the spigot at all times, however this does cause the bucket to overflow and flooding on ground. Also hooking up a hose to the spigot does not give enough water pressure to use with a hose. Only dribbles water out when valve is open.

this item is ok. the spouts are absolute garbage though. so do youself a favor and swap them out for something else before you set it up. ive literally used the spouts twice and now they wont turn off all the way. the constant drip just emptieds the barrel

Do not buy. The screen on the top is way too small. The water comes out of the downspout faster than this barrel will accept it. Basically useless. The packaging says not to return it to the store so I contacted RTS directly and they haven't even bothered to respond.

It did not come with the spigot attached. The instructions said to put your arm through a 3 inch hole and reach over 3 feet inside to install the spigot. It's not humanly possible without cutting a larger hole in the top. I can't use it, so I am returning it. Messages to the company about this design flaw have gone unanswered. Don't order this
