ACHLA Rain Barrels are among the most durable rain barrels on the market. They are made from UV-stable polyethylene for a long lifespan and protection against the damages of sunlight. The built-in four foot garden hose allows for convenient watering of plants. The barrel also holds up to 54 gallons of water and includes a link kit to add barrels for increased capacity.

About the Materials
Each ACHLA Rain Barrel is produced 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. The unique advantage of these rain barrels is the use of roto-molding. Rotational molding produces vinyl products as one piece with a consistent, even wall thickness to prevent separation and leakage.

About the Design
ACHLA Designs have made this rain barrel to withstand the test of time. Not only is it constructed of durable materials, but the design includes all you need in a rain barrel. The removable screen on top keeps unwanted particles from the water. The barrel also comes complete with a four foot garden hose and thumb valve. In addition, every Rain Catcher is shipped with a foolproof linking kit so you can add capacity as your garden grows.

    The Achla rain catchers have been excellent during our current limited rain and drought. What comes down we can use on the garden with little effort. Well built and most practical.

    quick delivery of product and fits snugly against outside surface; nice hose feature works when you prop barrel up on cinder blocks so gravity can do it's thing. Removable screened cover keeps out the gutter dirt. You can't scoop water out like other models; you have to use the hose or roll the barrel over and pour, and it gets heavy quickly.

    First summer of use and it held up very nicely. I did not have to turn on my water hose for my flower gardens. I used mosquito dunks just incase but did not use this water on my veggie garden. My husband is going to store this inside for the winter due to the fragilty of the plastic.

    I've had this barrel for two years. The drain hose connection really does have to be replaced with a hose clamp, and the slot that's supposed to keep the hose up and not draining is truly without value. Sadly, this winter my empty barrel split vertically and irreparably during cold weather (it was 26 below, Fahrenheit). Until then, it worked well, and if you don't mind paying plenty this is a good product.

    Who would have ever thought that it would be a big deal to find free water? Nothing is free anymore! I wouldn't drink the stuff but the plants love it! This rainbarrel is an outstanding item, I just wish I had thought of buying one sooner. They do fill up fast but training two or three of them together works awesome. Don't forget to empty them in the winter or they will freeze and crack. Upgrading the hoses is also not a bad idea but the ones supplied will do the job.
    Very pleased

    It works likes its supposed to. However, like in previous reviews, the supplied hoses are low quality. Tie wraps to secure hoses should be replaced with automotive water hose clamps. Those are the two changes I made to my install. I purposely held off on this review to verify a previous review of the barrel splitting in the winter if left empty outside. I took a chance and had no problems with winter. This would be a five star product if it weren't for the supplied hoses/hardware. At the price that they sell this for, the last thing I need to do is improve on it. I will be getting another one of these. Mother nature fills these things up quick here in the NE.

    These Rain Catcher Barrels won't be installed until the final coat of stucco is applied to the outside of the house. I am looking forward to collecting enough run off rain from my roof to water my plants come late winter, early spring.

    I LOVE my rain barrel. Maybe I was lucky, but I've had no problems whatsoever with mine. After it completely filled after only an inch of rainfall, I'm still using the water to care for my houseplants. True, you can't reach in the barrel to draw out water (unless you have really small hands and arms), but the provided hose has always worked just fine. If you're trying to conserve rain water, and you don't mind a no-frills plastic barrel, I would recommend this product.
