53 Gallon Portable Rain Barrel Water Tank - Collapsible Rainwater Collection System Storage Container - Water Collector Barrels Include Two Spigots and Overflow Kit - Comes with 25 Garden Labels

The rain barrel was easy and quick to put together. When I accidentally installed this rain barrel on tilted ground ghe forst time, the barrel later, on its own, tilted and then fell over and rolled down the hill, emptying itself out to my regret at the loss of 50 gallons of rain water. So far, no animals have attacked it, despite plenty being out here. By the way, it is a good idea to place an anti-mosquito doughnut dunk into the rain barrel to keep mosquito larvae from making a home there. My vegetables seem to like rain water much better than chloramine-treated city water, so this is a good investment for the long run, useful even after the drought situation just got called off after the recent heavy rains.

The media could not be loaded. We bought this for teaching kiddos about water conservation, but this neat little product lends itself to numerous other educational & practical applications.We have a steady source of water (53 gallons) in case of poor and disastrous weather conditions, think Hurricane Harvey for a local connection and the 2011 East Africa drought for a global perspective.God forbid another disaster, but you know have access to 55 gallons of rain water in either case.Chetan

I had trouble getting the rubber tipped legs (6) into their rubber sleeves. If there are two people then it should only be a hassle. It is as advertised. I did not have any leaks with installing the two faucets. You need to make sure you have a washer, (provided) on both sides of the barrel. It took forever for the faucet to fill my water can. This is with a full barrel of water. It would be nice if the faucet was plumbed to take a regular garden hose or add an attachment to the faucets to convert it to a regular garden hose attachment. I would buy this product again.

I love it.I water my house plants and yard plants.l just need a hose to clamp on it so I can get some more water out when I cant get the water from the nosal, because the water is below the nosal sometimes.

The media could not be loaded. This rain barrel is easy to set up. I recommend putting a stand underneath to be able to use the bottom spiget when the water level is low. Sadly the zippers broke after a couple years. Without being able to zip the barrel closed, leaves and insects and other creatures can make their way inside

Purchased with purpose for indoor plant feeding. Arrived in great shape, easy to assemble. However, the legs have to slide vertical into a tight vinyl like material, not an easy task if you have larger hands or lack patience. I found pulling around the area to make material taunt def helped. As with any water items that have spouts, I used plumbers' tape, hoping to avoid any drips/leaks. Made sure gaskets on each side of vinyl for all the spickets as instructions read. First time, I sat it on the floor in my office and began to fill. Watching for leaks, all seemed good until the water reached the bottom spout. Thats where the issue is, couldn't stop the leak. Returned and the company was GREAT, sent me a replacement and I sent back the leaking unit. So, 2nd one arrives, this time i assemble same way, as per instructions still adding my plumber's tape & filled it up in the tub. I suggest tub or outside so that it's easy to dump if needed and if leaking, you won't have a huge mess. Needless to say, same issue occurred. Bottom spout leaks no matter which way I tried. If I was going to be using this outside, the leak wouldn't be an issue. Not recommended for indoors due to LEAK ISSUE.The company was very great about retuning both items and refunding me timely

Easy to assemble. We've received lots of rain so it didn't take long to be able to use for plants and pets. Recycling rainwater!

Was looking forward to using this for rainwater collection for my plants for the summer but algae develops behind the walls very fast. It gets slimy and ends up contaminating the water inside. I’ve had to empty it twice to clean it since I bought it two months, wasting the water. What a nuisance. Can’t return it anymore, so it’s probably going to be a winter garden storage unit.
