Good Ideas 50 Gallons Plastic Drainable Rain Barrel

So far we’re happy!

Great barrel that has a removable top. I daisy-chained two together and also put a 2 inch pipe connector in the second one to run water to a separate project. I've put soaker hoses on most of the brass spigots (not in this pic), and I obviously raised the barrels pretty high to maximize gravity for water pressure. Put these in two days ago and waiting for a good rain so I haven't seen them fill up yet. I hope that the gravity feed on the 2 inch outlet will provide the pressure I need for the side project these are feeding.

This rain barrel checked all the boxes: completely round (I don’t want to put it flush against a wall), lid where all the liquid drains into a central hole (so heavy streams will flow in regardless of where they hit on the lid) and attractive barrel-like appearance. I plan to buy a second one and potentially a third. My only complaint (and Good Ideas, I hope you read this): the parts to be installed were in baggies that were held in place by the plastic mesh that goes over the hole in the lid and is supposed to keep debris and mosquitoes out of the water. Problem is that after you unscrewed the mesh and pulled out the baggies, the mesh was stretched out of shape. There was no way to screw it back in place so that it completely covered the hole. I tried pressing it under a heavy box for a couple of days, but that made no noticeable difference. I tried installing it from the underside, upside down, whatever— nothing worked. It would not screw down flush to the hole. In the end, I had to cut a piece of screening and screw it in underneath the plastic mesh. I may end up gluing down the second screen just to be sure that nothing gets into the barrel. Good Ideas (if you made it this far), how about taping the baggies to the underside of the lid with heavy packing tape? Other than that, this barrel is great, and will be one of many that I purchase.

Sturdy, quality product. Arrived quickly and in good shape. Was easy to set up. I used a rain spout diverter with hose directly into the barrel which is working very well. I like that it has an easily removable lid to check the water level, and the dual brass spigots are perfect. One steady rainstorm filled the 50 gallon capacity in a few hours. I will definitely be purchasing a second barrel. Great product!

More attractive than most. Has opening for overflow but no hose to direct it anywhere. Faucets are heavy duty and should last.

Hard to find rain barrels with removable lids. This product was exactly what we were looking for. Great look, fast delivery.

Not bad but the top does not sit snugly. It will do what I need it to do

I was thrilled to receive my rain barrel quickly. When we went to set it up , we figured it would be an easy set up. It was not! The upper brass faucet worked great but the lower fitting just would not go in all the way. I could not turn the faucet because it would hit the barrel and would not work. and even with the tape it leaked. I called Wayfair and she assured me that the company that provided the barrels would contact me in 48 hours. No one ever contacted me . I was really surprised of Wayfairs customer service. and because I still only have one that works properly.

Rain barrel is fine, easy to put together but the stand is way to big for this rain barrel, was told that this is the one that would fit. Which it does but would think a better fitting one should have been suggested. Still need to get it connected to the downspout.

Love how it looks. I used a diverter to attach it to the downspout. Works great.
