Comments about Wooden Rain Barrels:
Beautiful, but not at all practical. It really needs better screening to keep out debris and insects as well as more practical ways to get the water out!

Cons
- Hard to assemble
- No hose attachment

Comments about Wooden Rain Barrels:
I bought this for the look and price. I had a difficult time getting the wire surrounds to stay on the bolt that holds them tight around the barrel. I don't mind assembly but this was a beast to assemble -- time consuming and manually difficult). Once the outside wood is assembled, you have to fill the barrel to capacity to get the liner situated properly. I did this, but the next day it rained and the bottom wire came loose so I had to manually empty the entire barrel in order to re-attach the wire surround.
So far I have not used the rain barrel to the best of its ability but hope to rig up some sort of pump/hose attachment so I can water my garden straight from the barrel without lugging the water can back and forth 5 times.
I like the look of it but wish I had waited for a better version to come out before I invested.

Comments about Wooden Rain Barrels:
I like this rain barrel because you can dip the whole watering can in it - no tedious gravity filling of watering cans. Be warned, however, that it doesn't have a spout or fitting to attach a hose; I'm not sure how I'll empty it for winter.
It holds a lot, and looks nice, but it was not easy to put together.

Comments about Wooden Rain Barrels:
I recently purchased this rain barrel as the little 40 gallon one I have gets used up so quickly, and living in CA I want to try to conserve all the water I can! I like this rain barrel since it has a large capacity, and it is attractive. However it was difficult to put together.

Comments about Wooden Rain Barrels:
The capacity and appearance are great if you don't mind carrying your own water. I don't like that the cover-locks have to puncture the heavy bladder because I worry about tears or wear. There's also no way to later install a spigot so I will be weight-lifting my water around the yard.

I have had a rain barrel before that was ugly and broke during a big storm. This barrel seems much more sturdy and is way better looking.
