Used Rain Barrels Work Well,

By Troop
from Redlands, CA
"The rain barrels hold water as designed. They are the cheapest I've found. The dual faucets easily allow chaining multiple barrels with a piece of used garden hose."

eagle rain barrel,
August 19, 2008
By garden1
from VA
"several months getting the item after ordering.lower holes in the barrel were to large and unable to get the spigot in tight enough to seal so they didn't leak. The upper spigot hole were tight enough to prevent leaks. I ordered two barrels and one came with with a dent and impact cut about half way up the barrels side that may prove to leak. Has not rained yet to test ."

"This a very sturdy and practical item for any backyard. Small part adjustment at any hardware store makes it easy to connect multiple barrels. I will be getting more asap."

good value!,
August 18, 2008
By Lainie
from MD
"I shopped around a lot before I made this purchase and I am happy with the size and durability of the barrel itself. I like the two spigots and they work well but appear like they might need reinforcing. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is that there is a lot of writing on the barrel and it will need to be painted over in order to look better. Otherwise, it is the absolute best rain barrel for the money I could find, and I got it very quickly."

"I started with one, three weeks later added another, and now waiting on third.
So far, I am pleased with the quality and value. Seen some very similar going for $98.00 and more.

Rain Barrel,
August 12, 2008
By Sandi
from Franklin, NC
"I am very happy with my rain barrel. I have had great experiences with the telephone customer service and order departments. The product is durable and ready for instant use. Delivery was very good. Due to problems beyond the NT company, I am waiting for a second barrel that is on B/O, but, they are working very hard to complete my order and send my second rain barrel as soon as possible. I would not hesitate to order from Northern Tool again for other products, and would definitely recommend them to my friends. Sandi from Franklin, NC"

Rain Barrels,
August 11, 2008
By Taxman59
from Greensboro, NC
"The rain barrel is the best value I could find. My only complaint is that there should be a third spigot (located at the bottom) to facilitate the linking of more than one barrel is series. Otherwise, it is great."

"This is a great rain barrel for a great price. I would recommend getting 2 or more because 1 small rain will fill up this 50 gallon rain barrel. Great for watering the garden!!"

great rain barrell,
August 1, 2008
By Crowded
from drought suffering Georgia
"This thing worked perfectly for me. The lid is like a canning top. I drilled 4 3inch holes in the lid, covered it with screen, and secured it with the rim. The first rain we got was less than a quarter inch and it filled the barrel. I'm going to put one on each of my downspouts asap."

Great rain barrel,
July 13, 2008
By Ssherb
from Melbourne, FL
"Great Rain Barrel for the price. Only drawback is no mesh top to keep out debris so barrel sits open all the time. Fine for watering plants but not ideal if you need fresh potable water."
