      Rain Barrel
      Initally really liked it and the look of it but with the first rain water was squirting out of the sides of it in several areas and you could see inside of it where the seems were bubbled like it got too hot when being made maybe? Had to return it. Really bummed because I liked how it looked.

        The concept is great however the hose isn’t fitting properly and therefore the barrel is constantly leaking.

        It came with a 1/2 inch hole in the side (by the spigot pipe). So I had to bring it back. Home Depot was very good about taking it back. I tried to contact the manufacture (6 times) and they never responded back to me.

        Ended up returning because it doesn’t have any external collection capabilities. Wanted to do full downspout install but decided to just settle for plain old rain Barrell with top-side rain intake

        I thought it would be a entire barrel not half and the back isn’t nice like the front. Not visually appealing from the back.

        Comes with the downspout collection hardware! Easy to install. Only misgivings are that one cannot see how full the barrel is and that the suggested connection location is not well prepared (could be flat for easier drilling, for example), so there will be some leakage when the barrel is full.

        Very nice looking rain barrel for house being built and will not only help with gathering rain water but will enhance the looks of the home vs just a barrel. I am looking forward to planting in them once completed.
