Fresh rain water can do wonders to nourish plants and reduce energy bills. The RTS 50 Gallon Wood Grain Resin Flat Back Rain Barrel can help you save valuable water and money while adding rustic character to your home exterior. Although it looks like an authentic oak wood barrel from the Old West, this rain barrel is actually made from UV8-stabilized resin. This fade-resistant plastic material will never rot or become prey to insect infestations. The heavy-duty, rotational molded construction ensures a long lifespan.


Several key design features make this rain barrel easy to use. The barrel's flat back sits flush against the wall, which decreases it's footprint in your yard and makes it easier to trim surrounding grass. The removable screen on the top safeguards the quality of your stored water by keeping out insects, animals, and debris. This rain barrel can hold up to 50 gallons of water. To access the water, simply adjust the shut-off valves on the hose hook-up or spigot. Dual overflows release water in the event of over filling. Using a linking kit, you can connect this barrel to others like it to increase your water storage capacity. Link kit not included.


An Eco-friendly Practice: Using a rain barrel is one way you can become more environmentally conscious. Saving rain water reduces the amount of usable water you need, which decreases demand for treated water and saves you money. Because the rain barrel catches water that would normally flow to the ground, it also helps the environment by reducing runoff waste water. Storing rain water can also supply you with an alternative water source during dry weather spells. And to top it all off, rain water is healthier for plants than chemically treated tap water. What are you waiting for? Order a rain barrel today, and go green.

I love the look of this rain barrel; it compliments the natural surroundings outside. Easy set up and decent size water capacity. I haven't had it long enough to go through a rain cycle, but I fear that the overflow port will not accomodate a heavy rainfall, which means water will run out the top and around the barrel. I have two other barrels by a different manufacturer that have large 3 1/2" overflow ports. I plan on converting this one using a fitting to make a larger port for this problem. The barrel was more economical than my others and much more attractive, so I don't mind the extra effort to customize the problem. Will most likely purchase another. Attached pics show barrel and the original overflow port.

              I had a terrible water usage charge from watering my plants one month. It is wonderful to do the watering without any cost. The cost of the barrel will be covered in no time.

                So far so good. It's a stylish rain barrel which classes up the yard and provides us a way to water our extensive garden without relying solely on the water company.

                Customer Q & A
                1 - 5 of 6
                    1   2      

                Q1: Where does overflow water come out of and is there a way to take overflow water away from the foundation?

                A: You can take an old piece of garden hose and a threaded nipple and thread it into the overflow location.

                Q2: Do you sell an attachment for the overflow valve, that can attach to a hose?

                A: Unfortunately we do not have an attachment of this sort available for sale at this time.

                Q3: Is the spigot brass or plastic? I see you indicate that it has been improved; however reviews indicate concern.

                A: The spigot supplied is brass. In the past this rain barrel did use a plastic one, but it has been improved and upgraded to brass.

                Q4: In Better Homes and Gardens magazine they have a picture of your RTS wood grain barrel. Their picture shows a different spigot. Can you explain that?

                A: We think that article is showing the old style plastic plastic spigot. Now this rain barrel comes with a better quality brass spigot.

                Q5: Does a garden hose fit the spigot?

                A: Yes it will.
