Rated 1 out of 5 by from Had to buy these twice, both have issues. I had to buy this rain barrel twice because the first on mysteriously cracked on the bottom and began to slowly leak. im not sure what happened but i assume it was the integrity of the plastic. i emailed the company but got no reply. i gave in and bought it again. the new one hasnt cracked yet but the faucet leaks around the rubber seal. if i tighten the nut more, the rubber flattens out and buldges, causing more leaks. i love the look of this barrel but not happy with the ones i have bought. just thought i would be honest.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Ours Broke after one year I was very impressed with the size of the barrel and the features. Before winter we drained it and left the tap open. This spring we noticed it wasn’t holding any water and when we lifted it the whole bottom had cracked open. So it didn’t even survive one year. I’m upset because now we have a piece of junk that is useless and can’t be repaired. Maybe we were one of the unlucky ones to receive crappy merchandise. My neighbour has the same one with no issues.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Cracked in less than 1 year The base has completely cracked during chinook season in calgary, it is less than a year old. Not meant for this climate, obviously. The plastic is too brittle and you shouldn't waste your money unless you want to decommission it for 8 months/year.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from So far, so good Pros: bigger than I imagined, nice top design with mesh grate to filter out debris; ability to add further barrels; not bad looking. Cons: thinner than ideal so great care needs to be taken when tightening metal fittings or else it will crack; pipe clamp for the overflow hose was very cheap and broke immediately, bought a new clamp for $2; spigot rotates when used unless tightened greatly (except not too tight or plastic will crack!); slight leak at the overflow outlet which would be fine except its right against the house. Overall a rating of "we'll see."

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Good, but needs modifications The barrel by itself works well, but you'll want to make modifications to make it work long term. The filter on the top is great but if water just pours onto it you'll lose much of your water as it splashes onto the surface. Direct your water from a pipe directly to the filter (doesn't need to attach, just needs to rest against) and your water won't be lost. Also, if you are connecting more than one barrel together you'll need to seal the tube between them as the existing pipe does leak quite badly. You'll also need to expand the point when water transfers between barrels by drilling a larger hole.

Rated 2 out of 5 by from Bottom cracked after 1st year I bought this product last summer and it worked great. Loved that I could remove the top and fill my watering can that way (prefer filling it this way rather than using the spigot.) It's a nice looking rain barrel and fit well into the space. However, I just went to use it this year after a big rain and noticed that it was completely empty- there is a crack about 1/2 the size of the entire bottom. Needless to say I am not impressed. The previous rain barrel I had survived for many years outside with no issues. Time to try a different model.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Great value rain barrel! This is an extremely well built rain barrel. Easy to setup. Tap is good quality brass. This is the second purchase of this product with 2 purchased the first time. We decided to add a second barrel to catch overflow from one of the original barrels. Would have given 4.5 stars if a selection. The .5 rating reduction is only due to tap placement on barrel. Would have preferred a lower placement to allow more draw from barrel as a previously owned barrel was. Other than that, terrific product at a fabulous price!!

Is the polyethylene thick enough to hold up through a -40C winter? I assume the barrel has to be drained completely in the fall. Please reply if you are in the Canadian prairies with one of these barrels. Thanks.

Asked by: JMH1664
My first barrel split...had put it on its side, but did not empty enough and melt water got inside and froze.  The barrel I have now lasted the winter...emptied it completely and put on its side, but had the barrel on a slant so no stray water or snow could accumulate.  Upside down would work too...mice tried to live under mine...

The dimensions listed on the website don't seem accurate, it does not look like a 24 inch square box from the pictures, so what are the actual assembled dimensions?

Is there a lower hole to empty the barrel?...Can a regular size garden hose fit the spigot?

The spigot hole is about a foot from the bottom of the barrel. Takes a regular garden hose.

We bought this barrel a couple of years ago and are now having trouble with the spigot leaking where it attaches through the barrel. Any helpful ideas?

Asked by: Twyla
First check the installation of your spigot, kindly be advised that the rubber gasket needs to be outside when installing the spigot. Always hand tighten the spigot. Too much of force applied on the spigot may rupture the rubber gasket or cause breakage around the spigot thread

If I want to put spigot lower   What size drill bit do I use ? And what is part to plug existing whole ? 

Asked by: Pmg11
I did this Just use your tap size half inch or †hree quarter. I bought another tape and left the existing one in place. Works fine. Just remember to drain the unit before winter.

Is this made with food grade plastic?

Asked by: KKKL
It is made from recycled plastics, I believe.  Therefore, probably is not food grade.
