Barrel Overview
  • Screened-in lid keeps out mosquitoes and other unpleasant insects. An additional safety strip prevents curious little persons or animals from falling in.
  • 55-Gallon Storage. Replenishing its supply every time it rains, this barrel captures fresh, untreated rainwater for your gardening needs.
  • Automatic Overflow. The overflow located on the upper part of the barrel diverts excess rain to a nearby garden, additional barrel, or distant area.
  • Built To Last. These recycled barrels, originally used for cucumber storage, are made of thick durable plastic.
  • Accessories you may want to consider purchasing (not included)
    • Standard garden hose for brass threaded spigot
    • Sump pump hose for automatic overflow
    • Stand to elevate rain barrel (these accessories can be purchased at most hardware stores)
