VIVOSUN Collapsible Rain Barrel, 132 Gallon Water Storage Tank with 1000D Oxford Cloth, Portable Rain Collection System Includes Two Spigots and Overflow Kit, Green

Collecting rain water for your back yard garden will save money on the water bill and this one was easy to set up. I found a perfect spot by the down spout and used a few cinder blocks to support it and keep it off the round. I was absolutely amazed at how easy it was to assemble and how large it was when I was done. Not just for the garden but I can set one one closer to the drive way for washing my car. Good product. good deal good price.

First, let me say I think the quality of the rain barrel is fine. Well for the most part. As I was putting it together one of the legs cracked. Each leg comes in two parts; top and bottom joined into a plastic section already part of the bottom half of the leg. I didn't think too much of it because it was just a small crack. I went ahead and assembled the barrel and added water. Unfortunately, I could tell the leg had cracked more as it bowed out. So I found the contact information here in the posting. I called them on a Friday mid afternoon (early afternoon for them) during the hours they state they are opened. And this is when the trouble began. I was immediately sent to hold due to customer service people were busy. After 5+ minutes on hold a recording came on stating they were closed. Interesting... closed during their regular business hours. I left my voicemail stating my issue. Almost immediately I received an automatic text stating the information they needed. I did so only to receive 3 more texts requesting information and a picture. One of these texts came in at approximately 2 am! I had already given all the information I could give and could not take a picture of the broken leg since the barrel was full of water. I wasn't dumping the water. Will they replace the broken leg? I have no idea. I do know that they are not making it easy to resolve a problem with them. So the other 2-3 barrels I need will not be purchased from them.Update: They offered me $15 credit for the broken leg because they are unable to replace it. I since emptied what water was in it to remove the broken leg to try to repair it (fail). In the meantime 2 other legs have broken where the legs are joined together. How? It wasn't in use??? DON'T PURCHASE THIS STYLE OF RAIN BARREL that has plastic, two-part legs.

Love this product. Put it in my patio/courtyard. It's arms reach to garden and potted plants. I also can easily fill pet water bowl, he loves chewing at water spout, lol. Saves on water, efficient and effective. Good quality and fun extras.

Item fairly easy to put together. The stakes are plastic. And dont always stay together when putting into the sleeves. Weak side where zipper starts. Flops down as seen in photo. Would be good to have a support there. Because it sags. Water doesn't totally drain off the top. Hopefully it works and doesn't collapse.

I like the size of the rain barrel. It was simple to assemble. Have learned that it needs a very solid foundation. at 100 USG it is well over 800 pounds. That is my issue not the product. My only product complaint is the overflow. The top of the bag 'bends' inward and the top will 'sink' down below the water line in the barrel. The overflow is so high that this folding prevents water exiting the overflow prior to just pouring over the edge. I am going to attempt to add some stays under the top cove that run from post to post in an attempt to correct the issue. I like most everything else including the ability to drain and store compactly in the winter months.

Enjoy it very much Easy to set up

I have to say I was a little skeptical at first with this product I tested it out at my house and connected to my rain gutter and it worked out well. I use it to water my gardens with natural water and not city water. This product is also great if your on the move and are collecting water while camping with the black bag design it helps heat the water and if you can set up high you will have heated water for a shower or whatever you would like to do with it. I highly recommend this product.

This so-called “rain collector” tank is a piece of expensive garbage. I worked very hard to construct this, closely following the sparse instructions. Upon testing it with water, it leaked profusely. I found that it is apparently attractive munching material to any number of tiny creatures who contentedly chewed small and large holes in the base and sides of the tank. I contacted the manufacturer and they suggested attaching some fine wire mesh to the base. I did this, after slathering the base and lower sides with “Flex Seal”. Meanwhile, the zipper seal of the top of the tank broke after being used just a couple of times. Upon testing the tank with water, it leaked some more, even with the Flex Seal and wire mesh covering the base. I even ordered two large metal rings to place inside the tank to keep it from collapsing when empty, but by the time that they arrived I had given up. This item is garbage. A good idea but very poorly constructed.

Materiales de alta calidad que cumplen su propósito. No fugas. Desmontable para cuando no se usa. Requiere poco espacio debido a su altura. De gran ayuda para momentos de escaces de agua

Aun no es temporada de lluvias por lo que no se que tal funcione, pero ya lo arme y hasta el momento se ve muy bien!

Al estar armando el producto vi que falta uno de los tapones de los soportes y me preocupa que ponerla así pueda rasgar la lona. ¿Se puede hacer algo?
