EMSCO Group Weather Resistant Plastic Rain Barrel and Hose with Diverter Kit

works great for watering flowers nearby.

It’s only a half rain barrel! No wonder they don’t show pictures of the back. Disappointed.

This may sound strange, but we turned it into an outdoor urinal. Which works perfectly for the kids to use by the pool.

I haven’t unpacked yet,package looks good,no obvious damage. Will tell you what I think,when it is installed Just what I wanted, Easy to put together.

It’s easy to prepare it for winter so that the barrel doesn’t freeze. Just remove the diverted tube and drain the barrel so the water flows out of the downspout naturally. During the good weather months if the barrel fills with rain the excess flows as it should through the downspout rather than overflowing the rain barrel. It would be nice if there was more of a selection of rain barrels that functioned this way. I can only find this functionality in the Emsco brand.

Looks like plastic and not barrel in the brown. May paint the rings black like on Grey one to look better. Using for watering plants and to save on water.

Easy to install. Has everything you need to set it up. Looks nice against our home.

Love it. Added my own spigot to the front so I can fill up my watering cans. Fills up surprisingly fast from rainfall. Would like to purchase more eventually. Did not have any issues with supposed bowing of the flat back piece. Works great!!

I really can't do a review since it's still winter and won't install it till spring .

They are a very nice neutral color which will complement the color of most homes but would not go very well with very modern designed homes. I like the fact that small gravel or plants can be put on the top.
