Just set it up!! It is a huge rain barrel. Hasn’t rained yet but I would imagine it will work fine.

I thought this would be an excellent gift idea for my husband when I purchased it several years ago because he loves watering his plants with rain water. But he just started using it several months ago and I think he loves it.

Nice rain barrel, grey color is nice. Note that it comes with a spigot and ONE elbow (not 2). Lower 2 holes are 1/2" NPT (thread) and the upper 2 are 3/4" NPT, so garden hose stuff needs adapters (from hardware stores, etc.). Delivery from Wayfair was quick and well packaged. Mild smell of olives shows that it's a recycled product-yay! I am using a different diverter with mine.

Exactly a perfect rain barrell with removable top. Has all the goodies with it. Came in good shape...ready to work.

We have bought several things over the years from Wayfair, and they have continued to provide us with quality products that have made us happy shoppers. Today, however, I had to contact their customer service department due to a first time issue, but I'm happy to report that, as expected, they made it right for us. Such a fine company!!!!
