Good Ideas Rain Wizard Urn 65-Gallon Rain Barrel, Terra Cotta

Love this! Had my house re-freshened on the outside - down to a point where I could do all the outside maintenance myself - I'm 71 YO female - it was this or downsize and move - didn't like the idea of taking a few years out of my routine to move - had a barn metal trough in the same spot where I am using this new one - the job manager said "are you changing that trough - it has holes all around the bottom" - didn't realize it had rusted through in spots - not doing the job for a long time - he suggested all the new types made of materials - searched the web - found this one on JET - had shopped here many time - prices good - love the style - not the "normal rain barrel" - it came in a few days and the workers neatly connected the down spouting snugly through the heavy mesh square - will be very hard for any debris to get through the top - I had the gutters put on that have small holes the full length - so should be VERY hard for anything to get into the rain barrel. The down spout goes in through a hole in the top back side, in front of that space is a place for flowers, water for birds - is shaped separate from the the down spout hole area - I got the gray - will be stacking some field stone around the bottom - have the urn itself set on 2 3" concrete blocks to make sure it stays level - also bought a 24" man made man hole cover to go under this directly so if I ever have to move or adjust will be manageable - the urn is 25lbs, the man hole cover 8lbs, and holds up to 2000 lbs. They had the terracotta and the gray Just waiting for the rain now!!!! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
