Catalina 45-Gallon Rain Barrel – BPA-Free Flat-Back Design with 3.5 Foot Garden Hose, Shut-Off Thumb Valve, and Fixed Lid (RB-CAT-LTGRNT) Light Granite

I love my rain barrel. It looks very nice and stylish next to my front patio. It will be so nice in the spring when I put out new flowers in my pots. Now, I will be able to water them directly from the barrel. I put a mesh cover on the barrel to keep out the mosquitoes and the bits of shingle sand that comes from the roof. The mesh cover will help me to not have to empty the barrel and clean out the sludge very often. It was easy to assemble the hose and attach it. This is such a great option. The hose works very well and the water flows nicely. I look forward to having beautiful rain nourished flowers this spring.

I live in Texas, and it’s nice to have a free source of water for my gardens! This rain barrel is extremely durable and looks really nice. Quality materials, easy to set up, I did it alone, no problem. We want another one for the west side of the house!

Easy to assemble. Love the modern style and color for the front of house. Looks great and holds a lot of water, Drainage miracle. I had my gutter guys installed new downspout to the drain as shown in instructions. Love it..

Easy to use, virtually no setup required, if you’re simply setting it under a runoff point. Recommend using a base to elevate it a bit to help get water when the level is low. It did not crack or leak even when the water froze solid—it was about 1/3 full. Cons: the fixed divider in the opening makes it difficult to clean alga buildup and the small opening makes it difficult to adequately rinse the barrel. Overall, I love having natural rainwater for my house plants and patio containers. Definitely recommend!

I’ve had this rain barrel all summer and absolutely love it. It has functioned perfectly from day one. The design is sleek and unobtrusive, but more importantly, it works exactly as it should. I’ve been using it to water my garden and flowers, and it’s been a total game changer. The spigot works smoothly, and the barrel fills quickly and holds plenty of water for my needs. It’s sturdy, stable, and hasn’t given me a single issue. Honestly, I can’t imagine going back to not having one. If you’re on the fence, get it—you won’t regret it. 10/10, highly recommend!

Attractive rain barrel that fits into most landscape designs. We have a cottage style garden and this doesn't look out of place like some barrels. Easy to assemble. Great value.

This is a great invention. Where has it been all this time and how come I didn't learn about it sooner? I want to make a rain catchment center and this is the start of it. Set it up under a sawed down gutter and it works wonderfully. It comes with its own screen and the rain rushes right into it. Couldn't be simper. Lightweight to move around when empty too without issues. Love it. We set ours up on three red square bricks for height and it works and is sturdy. Highly recommend it. Can hold a bit or rain in it, too. So glad we went ahead and bought it.

This works like a champ it does the job as it should. The off and on valve was plastic it was broken so I bought a brass one. I was able to connect a regular hose to it to water my fruit trees and fill my watering can for my potted plants to have rain water. The plants and I are very happy with this product and it looks attractive.
