Comments about Rainwater Urn, 50 Gallon:
We bought it to capture rain water to use on our flowerbeds, potted plants and 9 newly planted trees. We love it and it looks nicer than other we had seen in local stores. The only problem we have experienced is that when it arrived it was very difficult to "screw" the spout into the pre-drilled hole. Now when the barrel is full or at least the water level is above the spout it leaks around the spout opening. We still love it and will likely order 1-2 more and will try to plug/fix the leaking spout on the current one.

Comments about Rainwater Urn, 50 Gallon:
the "look" of the barrel is great and the hose hook up and valve work well. The two "supports " on the back of the urn leaked and had to be sealed with silicone. the hose clamp enclosed was defective

This rain barrel is a good solution to a problem area that needs watering and is away from the house. The plan is to hook a hose to the spout, route it under the deck into pvc pipe that is already installed and water what we thought was a natural wetland, but instead was watered by a well leak. Hope this works. We'll see when rains start. It's attractive enough to sit on my deck with a plant on top.

saves having to drag the hose to specific plants that need watering, like hanging baskets.

[...] For the price that one pays for therain barrel you would think that they would include a spigot. I had to make a trip to the hardware store and pay $5.60 for a spigot. Hadto make another trip because the spigot was too small. What a waste of my time. I could have purchased a rain barrel there that already had a spigot. For heavens sake they do not cost that much, putthem on...... or include in the order!!!!!

I use this product to water the container gardens. The best way to use this product is using a sprinkling water can instead of hooking a garden hose to the rain urn. There is not enough water pressure to be able to use a garden hose.

Had my husband hook the rain urn and the diverter and we had a big downpour one evening and it collected the whole 50 gallons and the diverter worked great. Could not find any type of diverter in our area, all where made of thin plastic and yours is made of excellent material. Would definitely recommend this to any of our friends. Best way to conserve.

I ordered the brown urn and I think it blends in very nicely with all the flower pots on my deck and is attractive.

I absolutely love my rain urn. It's lightweight on its own and looks good... not like the other rain barrels. I only wish I'd have gone with the bigger one. (I got the 55-gallon.)
