Algreen Products 80 gal Chocolate Brown Plastic Rain Barrel

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have a portion of our roof where water is diverted to flow off the roof, and we placed the barrel there. I watched it closely after the first hard rain and placement was good but the bottom hose attachment spot was leaking as quickly as rain was falling. The instructions included were very minimal; my husband followed them and is experienced with much more complex plumbing but had to rig the bottom one to seal properly--it didn't do so initially. The spigot is very high; we've had two big rains and still haven't reached high enough to use it, and it appears to be weathered already. We had to use a screwdriver to take the lid off to access the parts to install which were inside the barrel, which is odd. We still need to drill holes in the portion meant to plan flowers so water doesn't collect there. Seems like something that could be already done to not collect standing water for mosquitos. It looks nice but the setup is a bit odd and excessive considering the lack of instruction provided.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was so excited when I got this. I'm taking it to my other house in the countryside. Holds 80 gallons, has a functional spigot at the lower bottom and the top has an area for a planter for cute plants!! So it will blend in as a giant potted planter.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently acquired the Algreen Athena 80 Gallon Rain Water Collection Drum in Brownstone, and I've been quite pleased with its performance and aesthetics. This rain barrel not only serves as an efficient water collection system but also doubles as a decorative piece in my garden thanks to its stylish brownstone finish, which blends seamlessly with the outdoor environment. The capacity of 80 gallons is ample for my watering needs, allowing me to conserve a significant amount of water. The design is thoughtful, with a brass spigot that makes it easy to fill watering cans, and there's an overflow valve that I've found useful during heavy rains to prevent spillage. One of the unique features of this barrel is the planter on top. I haven't yet planted any flowers in it, but I'm looking forward to adding some colorful annuals to enhance its appearance even further. This planter top adds a functional and aesthetic touch, enabling the barrel to serve a dual purpose as a rain collector and a garden feature. Overall, the Algreen Athena Rain Barrel is a practical, environmentally friendly, and attractive addition to my garden. I'm excited to see how it fully comes together once I add some blooming flowers to the planter top.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was genuinely surprised that it is made of plastic! Its attention to detail in the design is incredible. I was impressed by how lightweight it was when empty, although this barrel is huge, which made moving and setting it up a breeze. My 7 year old was able to lift it. Assembly was extremely straightforward and easy. My kids and I love being able to place plants on top as well. Living in the South where it rains even during the summer, having this barrel is a game-changer!
