Rain Barrel Linking Kit

Rain barrel stand measuring 10.1 in. H x 27 in. W x 20.6 in. D, built to hold the full weight of a filled RTS Home Accents 50 Gal. flat-back rain barrel. The tough, rigid polyethylene construction is UV resistant and weather resistant for outdoor use, and the stand itself weighs 6 lb. It sits flat and creates an offset between the barrel spigot and the ground. Compatible only with the 50 Gal. Flat Back and 50 Gal. Eco Flat Back rain barrels from RTS Home Accents (not the 55 Gal. Premium Flat Back model or barrels from other manufacturers); the barrel is sold separately. Useful when your RTS Home Accents 50 Gal. flat-back barrel sits too low to slide a watering can under the spigot. Useful for placing an RTS Home Accents 50 Gal. flat-back barrel on a firm, level outdoor surface for rainwater collection.

The FlexiFit Universal Rain Barrel Diverter System is a plastic downspout diverter kit that fits standard 2 x 3 in. and 3 x 4 in. rectangular downspouts. The kit contains two hole saws, a rubber hose seal, a 31 in. accordion fill hose, the rubber FlexiFit diverter, and self-tapping screws, so no separate tools or hardware are needed. Installation is required and involves drilling the downspout, inserting the diverter, and attaching the hose. The black components are weather resistant, and when the barrel fills, the diverter routes excess water back through the downspout instead of overflowing at the barrel. It suits retrofitting an existing top-fill rain barrel with a sealed diverter connection to a rectangular downspout. It also works for a first-time install, since the two hole saws and self-tapping screws needed to cut and fasten to the downspout are included. For gardeners adding capacity, the system supports cascading multi-barrel setups and is compatible with EarthMinded barrel link kits.

Now anyone can make a rain barrel out of a recycled plastic drum or trash barrel. EarthMinded DIY Rain Barrel kit takes the guesswork out of making your own rain barrel. We include all parts needed to quickly assemble and install a state-of-the-art rain barrel with diverter. Our patented FlexiFit diverter helps prevent overflows and flooding that plague conventional top-fill rain barrels and can damage a home's foundation. Rain barrels are a convenient way to save water and money. A rain barrel can be located at any downspout around the home, garage or out-building to catch and store rainwater for outdoor watering and washing chores.

The 55 Gal. Rain Barrel Stand is a UV-stabilized polyethylene base that raises the spigot of an RTS Home Accents 55 gal. rain barrel higher off the ground. The moulded black plastic construction is weather resistant and holds the weight of a full 55 gallon barrel. It fits only the 55 Gal. Premium Flat Back Rain Barrel with Removable Lid from RTS Home Accents, and is not compatible with the 50 Gal. Flat Back Rain Barrel or barrels from other manufacturers. Some assembly is required, with no complex hardware involved. It suits gardeners who need enough space beneath the spigot to fill a standard watering can directly under the barrel instead of tilting or siphoning it. The flat back profile lets the barrel and stand sit close against an exterior wall or below a downspout. It also helps gravity-fed hose watering by raising the outlet above bed level.
