Overview
A 50-gallon rain barrel with a built-in 4-inch planter top, dual metal spigots and a mesh debris screen, made from polyethylene in a dark brown finish. Aimed at homeowners who want to catch roof runoff for garden watering without a plain plastic drum look.
What separates this from a basic barrel is the planter ring built into the lid, so the top doubles as a small garden bed rather than sitting bare, and the routed diversion channel that sends overflow to the front of the barrel instead of pooling against your foundation. Two metal spigots, one at the front and one on the side, mean you can fill a watering can up top while running a hose off the lower connection, or link the side spigot to a second barrel.
- 50 gallon capacity, dark brown finish
- 4-inch planter top built into the lid
- Dual metal spigots, front and side
- Polyethylene construction
Who it's for
Suits gardeners who want to harvest rainwater for watering beds and containers and would rather it look like part of the yard than a utility drum. Not the choice for anyone needing a much larger reserve, since 50 gallons fills quickly in a heavy storm.
Pros and cons
- 50-gallon capacity with a 4-inch planter top built into the lid
- Two metal spigots, one front and one side
- Mesh screen filters debris out of incoming water
- Overflow channel routes excess away from your foundation
- No stated way to gauge water level without opening the lid
- 50 gallons is a modest reserve if you're watering more than a small bed
Performance notes
The mesh screen at the top keeps leaves and debris out of the stored water before it reaches the spigots, and the routed overflow channel is built to direct excess away from the barrel's base rather than letting it collect at the foundation. The two metal spigots are positioned so one serves as the main draw point and the other doubles as overflow control or a link to an additional barrel.
