The Athena Rain Barrel offers a durable, decorative solution for collecting and storing rainwater around your home. Designed to connect directly to standard residential downspouts, it captures runoff during heavy rainfall and stores water for watering gardens, lawns, and flower beds—helping reduce reliance on municipal water. Available in both 50 gallon and 80 gallon capacities, the Athena provides flexible storage options to suit your space and needs.
Constructed from durable UV-resistant roto molded resin, the Athena withstands harsh temperature changes without chipping, fading, or cracking. A recessed top channel directs water toward a corrosion proof screen guard to help keep leaves and debris out. Dual rear overflow ports manage excess water during heavy rainfall and allow linking to additional barrels if expanded capacity is desired.
A high quality brass spigot installs into a reinforced threaded fitting with an integrated sealing gasket for a secure, leak-resistant connection. A lower threaded drain provides additional drainage or hose attachment options. Inspired by classic ceramic forms, the Athena delivers the look of handcrafted pottery with the strength of modern resin construction. Part of the Rainwatr™ system, it functions independently and remains compatible with diverter kits and pump accessories as your needs grow.
Pretty happy with it. I bought it in charcoal and up close it looks like plastic (which of course it is), but it’s a great size. The planter area is a little odd. I need to buy some sort of basket that will fit there. I’ve got a rain chain going into it and I have it hooked up to another barrel (for symmetry), even though the other barrel isn’t hooked up to a downspout. I bought a half inch drip pipe with hose connectors and screwed them into the drains at the bottom of the barrels so that they fill up together.. Leila. Danville, CA. Thu Apr 09 2026
