1. Many decorative rain barrels feature easy-to-use spigots, and larger models can sometimes be attached for even more storage possibilities.
2. Some water barrels have drainage hoses that can be directed away from houses to prevent rain water barrels from overflowing inconveniently.
3. Mesh filtering systems will help prevent leaves, bird droppings and other natural elements from entering plastic rain barrels.
4. Rain barrel covers keep animals and children from water in 55 gallon rain barrels.
5. Flush cleaning material through the rain barrel's spigot or other drainage mechanisms regularly.
6. Carefully inspect mesh screen or screening systems for mosquito or other insect breeding, and clear any away.
7. Move downspouts away from gutter rain barrels - yet still away from buildings - during winter.
