Rain Wizard Urn, Green

Th 65 gallon rain barrel is very sturdy and the medal spout is much better than the plastic ones. The only change that would be nice is having a removable top as an option for filling waterers.

Good that it holds 65 gallons of water, bad the spikot is small and very little water comes out. Warning it needs to be raised off the ground so there is enough gravity for the water to flow once it gets to the bottom third of the barrel. Would be nice to have directions on how to divert the overflow. Because the opening is so small it is important to have the downspot next to the screen, which makes it impossible to divert the excess water elsewhere. Section for flowers is really too shallow to plant in, so I wouldn't buy this with function in mind.

Still working well after a few years. We did re-thread the faucet attachment after several years and have painted as the rain barrel did fade a lot over time.

We bought this rain barrel urn because it was nice looking, we were able to plant some colorful flowers in the top and we could reuse the water and be environmentally conscious. This urn does all of these things and is a good buy for the money. That being said, we did notice a few design flaws. 1) The overflow valves in the back are flush against the siding of the house when the rain barrel is standing upright, so we actually had to move the rain barrel sideways and bring the overflow hose out the back around the corner. If the corner hadn't been there, we wouldn't have had a solution. They should have designed it such that the overflow came out the side or top somehow. 2) the plastic screen where the gutter drops the water does splash it around quite a bit, so after reader another raters suggestions, we cut up an old window screen, created a valley into the barrel with it and attached it with the provided screws. Then inserted the gutter downspout inside several inches. This solved the problem, no more splashing, but the screen still catches debris. But, these two design flaws excepted, the rain barrel is fantastic, we are very happy with it thus far.

This is a attractive and well built vessel with a large capacity. The design of the urn is first rate. Unfortunately it arrived without the hose bib that is supposed to be included within the barrel. I called the wholesaler and they are sending me a replacement hose bib without charge. I'm a happy camper.
