Beehive Rain Barrel

Comments about Beehive Rain Barrel:

I have several rain barrels around my home and wanted a container to keep the collected water in for my indoor plants in the winter. Received it yesterday and was thrilled. Perfect for what I wanted to do. Set it up, filled it with water and it started leaking all over my carpet from the spigot. Not a happy camper. Now we are draining all the water out and my husband says he can fix it, but for the price he shouldn't have to fix it.

So good looking and handy. Mine sits prettily on the deck and is garaged in the winter. A rope is used to hoist a water hose up to the deck to fill our barrel. When the weather cooperates - no stong winds - with the lid "upside down" a flower pot sits atop it. We would have to do a lot more work watering on a second floor deck off a bedroom without our beehive.

We use this waterbarrel in a dry, but very visable garden that is difficult to reach with a garden hose. We fill it from water from our spring house and take off the top during rain showers to keep it filled. Everyone who has seen it wants one.

wished this barrel had a common threaded tap for garden hoses. are there any adapters / connectors for this barrel?

We do container gardening on our deck. It started with a couple of pots, but has grown to many--many pots. Making several trips with a jug of water got old in a hurry. This rain barrel is the perfect size for our deck and looks good too. I added the downspout diverter and now our watering chore is super fast and simple.

I bought this rain barrel and stand for my basement. I save my dehumidifier water in it to water my house plants and fill my fish tanks. I don't have to worry about chemicals in the water to injure the fish, or the house plants. Since I get about 2 gallons a day, it is a great way of saving.
