Rain Barrel, Connecting kit
Fresh water is fast becoming one of our most precious resources. You can do your part to help preserve our supply by using rainwater collected in your Exaco Round Rain Barrel. Made of Torrefied FSC-certified Canadian Spruce wood, this high-quality rain barrel comes with all the necessary parts to connect it to a standard downspout. The in-line set-up with built-in overflow allows water to flow through the downspout when the barrel is full.
The barrel comes with a durable, solid brass tap, and the sturdy wood frame houses a heavy-duty bladder. This is a closed unit, which means no mosquitoes or other critters will call it home. During dry seasons, owning an ECO Rain Barrel will be particularly beneficial. Worry no more about local water-use restrictions .With the fresh rainwater you collect, you can still water your garden and potted plants, wash you car, and even wash the dog!
What Is Torrefaction?
Torrefaction is a drying process in which the wood is subjected to a temperature of 200-300 degrees centigrade at near atmospheric pressure. At this temperature, the biomass partially decomposes, altering the chemical nature of the wood. This alteration consists of a loss of oxygen and hydrogen, leaving behind a larger concentration of carbon. The result of this process is a wood product that has a very low moisture uptake, and consequently a low rate of biological degradation. Torrefaction of wood is a natural preservation process, which is achieved without the application of chemicals.

Comments about Exaco ECO 67 Wooden Round Rain Barrel:
This is a poorly designed and poorly crafted wooden rain barrel. Actually it isn't a barrel at all, it is a cylinder with no bottom that contains a hanging plastic bag to hold the 65 gallons of water! Because it has no bottom, it would be most difficult to winterize - remove the water and move the rain barrel. Although the carton was fully intact, it arrived damaged, attesting to the poor craftmanship, the top was cracked and poorly put together. I would not recommend this to anyone. I returned it for credit.
Service and delivery comments:
Hayneedle's service is superlative. The staff is most helpful. The product arrived quickly. When I decided to return it, the customer service person, Rachel, was so nice. She emailed me a return label and told me how to arrange for a pick-up. I think Hayneedle does a great job.
Comments about Exaco ECO 67 Wooden Round Rain Barrel:
Required assembly is not advertised, so that was an unwelcome surprise for a father's day gift. Secondly, the copper straps don't hold the barrel together, because the clamp is inefficient in that it limits how tight you can get the straps. The last thing i wanted was for my husband to be disappointed on father's day, but he definitely was.

Q1: "How does the downspout attach to the Eco 67 round rainbarrel or the Eco 70 square rain barrel, I can't determine it by looking at the pictures. Does the top stay on once the downspout is connected and how does the built-in overflow flow thru the downspout - with some sort of diverter?"
A: The downspout of these is not attached to the top, it is on the side. You will not remove the top of the barrel. When the barrel is full, there is a diverter box with a hole in the center of it that takes care of overflow.
