Designed to mimic a traditional wooden barrel, the Rain Catcher Barrel from FCMP Outdoor has modern features that will satisfy your every need. Built with a large opening and flat back design, this barrel allows an easy installation and placement of the downspout, while the spoke and wheel pattern keeps them child and pet-safe. The overflow connection at the back of the barrel allows excess water to flow down underneath the barrel to direct it away from the foundations. Including spigots on the side of the barrels, you'll be able to connect multiple Rain Catcher barrels for an easy expansion of your rainwater storage capacity. In addition, the aluminum mesh screen keeps out debris while ensuring the water remains safe. Please note, that this barrel is not suitable for freezing temperatures. It must be drained and flipped to avoid ice damage or it will void the warranty. Place the bin around your home to catch fresh chlorine-free water as it pours from your downspouts. Constructed of recycled, UV-inhibited, BPA-free, polyethylene this durable barrel will provide you with years of use.
I have three of these now and they work great for harvesting rain water. They can be daisy chained together. You can add a longer hose to the ball valve if of you need to. I did swap out the ball valves for brass ones.. Nancy. Crystal Lake, IL. Wed Jun 10 2026
