RTS Home Accents 50-Gallon ECO Rain Barrel Made with 100% Recycled Plastic, Flat Back Rain Water Collection Barrel, Link Kit Included, Black (2 Pack)

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.

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

Very happy with the rain barrel. Solid, sturdy, and works as it should. Easy to hook up a hose to use saved water. Would buy another one if I needed one.

One of my favorite purchases and just in time for a big rainstorm so I could see how it worked. I have to say that it worked beautifully and could water my garden for weeks afterward. And my garden seedlings too. No problem with mosquitoes or bugs. I bought the stand so I did have to bend so far to turn on the spigot. it was rather easy to put the parts together, set it up and let it rain!

It’s perfect I love it!!! The fact the back is flat makes it easy to have against any wall! It’s so nice, easy to maneuver and is very durable! I am extremely pleased with this purchase!

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 had high hopes for these barrels, but I was let down in a few ways. 1) You cannot attach a regular garden hose directly to the spigot. The spigot is 5/8 inch and hoses attach to 3/4 inch. You can buy an adapter, of course, but why don't they just include a spigot that has the right size connection? 2) The back bows when filled with water. This is only a problem if you place it directly against your home. I had read the reviews and placed mine about three inches away, so it turned out to not be a problem. Still, it'd be nice to place it directly against the wall. 3) The mesh on top is a bit too small and there are no receiving holes in the barrel to which you can fasten the mesh. The holes must be drilled by the user and then they must be juuuuust right so that they reach both ends of the hole AND keep the mesh taut. It wouldn't be too difficult for the manufacture to pre-drill holes that just work correctly. 4) There are two decorative knobs on either side of the barrel. This is not a problem, as it makes it easier to carry. The problem on mine is that the seem isn't quite complete, leaving a pinhole leak. 5) Be ready for VERY LOW PRESSURE once you start to drain your barrel. I can't imagine that gravity provides more than 2 gallons/min (probably more like 0.75), which means that with 55 gallons in there, the MINIMUM it will take you to water is 25 minutes. I believe it's more like 60-80 minutes, though. I just left it running by the tree to give the tree a good watering. It's still great to have some way to use the rainwater rather than just let it flow into the nearest reservoir, but be prepared to deal with the issues I've laid out here. tip: use a couple of cinderblocks (rather than recommended plastic stands) to prop your barrel off the ground. Much sturdier and cheaper.

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.

Love this rain barrel, light and well designed

The seams are messy but as long as they hold, then this is good. At first I thought the top came dented but soon realized what a dummy I am because the "dent" was on purpose so the rain water leads into the vented hole lol. Good for the price and looks nicer than a regular plastic barrel and fits nicely against a building. Prices for nice barrels like this one in the stores tend to be much higher so I give this 5 stars.

Très bien! La qualité du plastique pourrait être légèrement meilleur à mon avis, mais c'est un super produit.

The first one that I bought lasted three years, no issues and then the third winter I stored outside and even though I had the valve open water filled up inside froze and split the side. I bought two more and won’t leave it outside exposed in the winter again.

Arrived on time, light weight.. would recommend.. it’s a gift. I like the flat back.
