Worth considering if fold-flat storage matters more than a rigid tank, but go in aware this fabric-frame build carries a lower rating than rigid barrels.

Overview
A 100 gallon rain barrel built from a PVC frame with anti-corrosion mesh fabric rather than rigid plastic, so it folds down for storage when empty. It ships with a filter spigot and overflow kit, and a top mesh keeps out leaves and insects.
This is a fabric collapsible barrel, not a molded plastic tank like a typical rigid rain barrel, which is the tradeoff to weigh here: it folds flat for garage or utility room storage between seasons, but the frame-and-fabric build is a different durability profile than a one-piece plastic drum. VINGLI sells the same design in 50, 66 and 100 gallon sizes; this listing is the 100 gallon version, and an outflow valve lets you connect it to another VINGLI barrel for more capacity.
- 100 gallon collapsible capacity
- PVC frame with anti-corrosion mesh fabric shell
- Filter spigot plus overflow kit included
- Folds flat for off-season storage
Who it's for
Gardeners who want a large 100 gallon capacity but do not have space to keep a rigid barrel outdoors or in storage year-round, since this one folds down when empty. Less suited to anyone who wants a set-it-and-forget-it rigid tank.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Folds flat for compact off-season storage
- 100 gallon capacity in one unit
- Filter spigot and overflow kit included
- Can connect to another VINGLI barrel for more capacity
- Fabric-and-frame build rather than a rigid plastic tank
- Lower average rating (3.8) than rigid barrels in this category
- No buyer reviews included here to confirm leak resistance over time
Performance notes
Water collects through the top mesh screen, meant to filter out leaves and insects before they reach the stored water, and drains through a spigot fitted with a rubber ring on each side of the barrel wall to reduce leak points. The overflow valve lets excess water run off or feed into a second connected VINGLI barrel once this one is full. Because the shell is PVC-coated fabric on a frame rather than molded plastic, it folds flat for storage, but that also means it depends on the frame and seams holding shape under a full 100 gallon load.
