    Comments about Pop-Up Rain Barrel:

    The size and zip tops are wonderful, but the spigots on all four of mine leak. I have worked on them with silcone etc. and slowed the leaks but have been unable to stop them completely.

    Comments about Pop-Up Rain Barrel:

    I like being able to store it flat. However, it needs to up on a flat platform to get any water out. Flat, because the soft sides will cause it to slag and lean in one direction. And, it leaks at the valve to the container. Rubber glue will work and I don't know if that was caused my the container sagging on the valve before I had it perfectly level.

    Comments about Pop-Up Rain Barrel:

    This product is poor quality. The water leaks out around the valve/spout and very little is stored or delivered to the garden. I just ordered a much better designed rainbarrel. Do not buy this product. You will be disappointed.

    This product was great at catching water from my downspout. In the winter I just turned it upside down.

    the spout at the bottom of barrel is not made very good and could not fit a regular garden onto it.

    Comments about Pop-Up Rain Barrel:

    It was easy to set up, and durable enough to place on the gravel in my garden. When my first rain barrel filled, I used this to catch the extra water. In a dry area like ours, water is precious. Having the ability to quickly set up an extra (and portable) barrel is great.

    Comments about Pop-Up Rain Barrel:

    I have been really happy with my rain barrel. I have limited storage space so I love that it collapses down when not in use. I ended up leaving it out all winter (with snow and ice) and it shows no signs of wear for having done so. Would be nice if the hose attachment at the bottom had a open/close valve.

    Comments about Pop-Up Rain Barrel:

    I bought this to see if it would "hold up". It has! I love that when it's empty, I can clean it and fold it to put away. Excellent for a space that needs to be clear during the dry season here in San Diego.
