Our newest rain barrel is made of rugged polyethylene, colored and textured for a natural-wood look. It holds 50 gallons, yet snugs right up to a house or garage, thanks to its clever, flat-back design. Improved solid brass spigot is now offset from hose attachment, allowing you to fill any size watering can without awkward maneuvering.

Comments about Flat-Back Rain Barrels:
Really glad to have the extra water; however, the plastic construction allows the barrel to bulge away from the house. Other than that, a good value.

I love the flat back on this barrel. I keep it on my deck so this feature saves a lot of space. No more lifting heavy watering cans, saves on the water bill, plants are thriving.

Comments about Flat-Back Rain Barrels:
A few more details on how to cut the downspout would have been helpful, and a big note to CLOSE THE SPIGOT ON THE BOTTOM for dummies like me before the first time it rained.

Comments about Flat-Back Rain Barrels:
I bought 2---have used them as a source for water for all potted plants and some beds that can be reached. I added quick connects and an extra no kink turn off attachment for ease of moving the hoses from one to the other. I am already realizing how much less I am using the taps outside the house.

Comments about Flat-Back Rain Barrels:
Simple to use and very efficient. However, when putting together our cat slipped through the water intake opening and finally squeezed back out 4 hours later.

Comments about Flat-Back Rain Barrels:
As this sits against the house on a corner I wanted one to blend with the house. The flat back is an added bonus. Instead of hauling a hose around the house I can water more easily.
I went to several garden stores to ook at rain barrels. This one cost the same but is way better looking.

Comments about Flat-Back Rain Barrels:
Purchased for myself for combo birthday and Mother's Day. It's the best thing ever, so far! Fills very quickly (after just one rainfall). Easy to use, screened area on top to keep large objects out, looks nice. Am concerned about leaking that may occur around the spigots, but will wait and watch over the next several months. It is expensive, but so far it's the best way I've found to collect rain water. Would love to buy another, if they came down in price.

One rainfall produced a FULL barrel of water overnight. So far, no leaking noted from the spigots. I thoroughly enjoy watering my plants with the aid of this great product! I bought this for my combined birthday/Mother's Day gift from my famiy.......and it is the best gift ever!

We looked at a lot of rain barrels before deciding on this one. It is both attractive and practical. The very best feature is the flat back, so it can be placed close to a wall and under the drain spout.
