Rain Barrel Description: 

  • Dark Green
  • Approximate Dimensions:
     60 Gallon 32"H x 28"W
     80 Gallon 38"H x 28"W
  • Locking lid & aluminum screen prevent pests from entering 
  • Works with any size downspout
  • Each barrel has spigot and 2 overflow valves

The dark colors of the barrels block the light to reduce algae growth.  A locking lid stops wildlife and pets from entering the barrels, including mosquitoes! 

The Rain Barrel also has an overflow valve that can be attached to a garden hose to divert the overflow water to any area of your yard that needs it. 

A one inch rainfall over a 1000 square foot roof provides over 620 gallons of water.  With the overflow valve you can direct this water to your garden or any other area of your yard.
