Compact, Stylish Rain Barrels

In England, antique "dollies" or wash tubs have found a new purpose: collecting rainwater for the garden. Our version has the charming design details of the original, including distinctive ribs that add strength as well as character. We've also added features to make it easier to collect and use free rainwater — your plants' favorite thirst-quencher.

  • Barrel lid slopes inward to collect water from downspout without complicated hook-ups
  • Lid has built-in screen to filter debris; removes for dipping watering cans; snaps in place for safety
  • Includes 6-foot hose with thumb valve, convenient hose clip, plugs for linking or overflow control
  • Divert water from downspout to rain barrel using the Downspout Diverter (sold separately).
  • This oversize item has a $10 additional shipping charge

      Comments about English Rain Barrels:

      The best part of these is that they have a low center of gravity and an understated profile and that the lids come off for dipping. The hose works fine, but I'm impatient. I love being able to water my patio flowers without having to drag the hose clear across the yard from the garden ( I share a hose with my husband/the vegetable garden ) I have another rain barrel in the garden, but didn't use it much since it took much longer to fill up this dry summer than the one under the downspout. I will move the garden one to the side of the house opposite the outdoor faucet. It is shady there, but during dry summers like this last, our ferns and shade plants suffered. Its too much trouble to drag the hose over there, too, so we hoped for rain, which didn't oblige. I love this product and feel good using it.

                  Comments about English Rain Barrels:

                  Loved my first English rain barrel so much that I decided to add another this summer and am considering a third for next summer. It's been unusually hot and dry here this year, so it has really come in handy for keeping my outdoor plants and shrubs healthy without having to pay for city water.

                      Had ours for years, use it to collect CENTRAL A/C water and rain! We don't even waste our A/C water.

                      You'd be amazed how much drips from the unit--onto our porch roof and down the spout into the rain barrel!

                      I put plants on the top (on smaller hole for water but good sturdy solid plastic around opening) and my ferns and other water/moisture-loving plants love their weekly shower and drink!

                      The water drips slowly from A/C and it really soaks the plants!

                      LOVE it and when I can afford it--will buy another and a link kit.

                        Should have done this years ago. Our first rain barrel, and this was an attractive and highly functional choice. The small screen in the lid does keep undesirable particles and bugs out. Even without raising on a platform, the water pressure is adequte to fill watering cans. We will eventually raise it on pavers. Thinking about another for the other side of the house, one good rainstorm fills it!
