FCMP Outdoor WG4000-BRN Wood Grain Rain Barrel, Brown

Excellent product. It's well-made, the plastic is thick, and the best part was I didn't have to put anything together. I've only been using it a few weeks, but it feels like it will hold up well for a long while. You can tell it was manufactured to survive a Canadian winter (empty of course, so it doesn't crack in the cold). The included hose is handy for filling up my watering can and the spigot on the end keeps the water from being wasted. I like the included clip on the side that let's me tuck the hose up off the ground. It holds a respectable amount of water, too. I was looking for something to capture water on my rooftop terrace where I grow my vegetables so I didn't have to lug jugs of water up there any longer and this is doing exactly what I needed it to do. I also like that it's a rectangle, as this made it easier to fit around my planters while placing it strategically under the lip of the bit of roof that sticks out overhead. It's also made in Canada, so that made it infinitely more attractive to me personally as a Canadian. It wasn't cheap, but it's also not cheaply made, so I thought it was worth paying a little more for quality. This is the second item I've purchased from this company (previously bought their tumbling composter). If these two items are an indication of the quality of the rest of their product line, I wouldn't hesitate to buy more outdoor garden items from FCMP Outdoor Store.

Love this rain barrel! When it first arrived I was skeptical about it because it is plastic. But once we put it up, it blends well with the foliage next to the house and looks great! It works great too! I love that we can pick up the hose and turn it on anytime we want and water the plants. It holds quite a lot of rainwater and was worth the price!

Have not been able to hook it up yet but I love the way it looks in my flower beds. Will purchase more for other areas around my house

I like the asthetic of this barrel and the hose addition. It was easy to put together and when it overflows, it drips out the side. I have no issue with the hose hanger as some have reviewed, it sits firmly held. The shut off switch on the hose is non-existant, literally does nothing when you turn it, so have your water can ready!

Love the chocolate brown color, not sure how it will hold up in the Texas sun. Love the rectangle shape. I ended up elevating it on 2 blocks so the water still came out when it had 1/4 still in it. Love that the open /close valve is in the hose. The clasp to hold the hose doesn’t stay in the barrel and falls out occasionally. Like the large opening in the top with the removable screen which allows me to use a pump if I want. I attached one barrel to another and it included the connection hose. When it was at the same height I noticed a small drip at the connection hose point. When elevated it disappeared.
