About manufactures not Home Depot
This company purposely oversold the amount of rain barrels that they had available in stock at the discounted sale price and then two weeks later nothing had even shipped or processed so they forced me into buying the $80 more expensive one so that I could have my Mother’s Day gift at some point in that month I believe the manufacture did it intentionally to make more money! It should be illegal and is just plain wrong. It is the exact same barrel just a different color bands and you’re going to charge me almost $90 difference.

        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

          Plastic threading to metal hose produces a significant leak because the threads dont attach properly. Not sure what to do about it either.

          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.
