RTS Home Accents 50-Gallon ECO Rain Barrel 2-Pack — Flat-Back Black, 100% Recycled Plastic, Link Kit Included

The RTS Home Accents 50-Gallon ECO Rain Barrel 2-pack is a pair of flat-back rainwater collectors made from 100% recycled plastic that let you capture and store 100 gallons of rainwater when linked together.

Collecting roof runoff with durable, eco-conscious barrels reduces mains-water use for gardens, patios, and outdoor chores while keeping rainfall on your property. These two matching 50-gallon tanks are molded from UV-resistant recycled polyethylene, include the components you need to join them, and are sized to sit close to walls or fences to save space.

How much water will I have for watering and outdoor tasks?

Each barrel holds 50 gallons of collected rainwater; pairing both barrels gives you up to 100 gallons of storage. That volume can supply garden watering, container plants, or pressure-washing tasks between rainy periods—depending on your local rainfall and usage.

• Single barrel capacity: 50 gallons (189 liters)
• Two barrels linked: up to 100 gallons total
• Useful for watering beds, lawns, potted plants, and cleaning outdoor surfaces
• Storage duration depends on evaporation, plant needs, and frequency of rain

What components are included and how easy is installation?

The set arrives with two barrels plus a complete link kit so you can connect them without extra parts. Simple threaded fittings, a plastic spigot, hose barbs, screens, and Teflon tape are provided, and basic hand tools are all you need to set up on a level surface or optional stand.

• Included: 2 plastic spigots, 2 screens, 2 hose barbs, Teflon tape, link tubing, and instructions
• Connects to downspouts with common hardware (not included in all installations)
• Assembly requires no special skills—follow illustrated instructions
• Optional stands sold separately to raise the spigot for gravity-fed watering

How does the design handle debris and overflow?

The barrels feature a screened inlet that keeps leaves and larger debris out while allowing rainwater in. A built-in overflow valve routes excess water away from foundations when full, helping to protect landscaping and drain paths during heavy storms.

• Screened inlet filters out leaves, twigs, and insects
• Integrated overflow valve redirects surplus runoff safely
• Flat-back profile sits flush to walls or fences for discreet placement
• UV-resistant material reduces sun degradation for longer outdoor life

What materials and durability features should I expect?

These barrels are molded from 100% recycled polyethylene and made in the USA, combining sustainability with weather resistance. The plastic is UV-stabilized to limit fading and brittleness, and the fittings are corrosion-resistant for season-to-season reliability.

• Construction: 100% recycled, UV-resistant polyethylene
• Weather-resistant fittings and plastic spigot for routine use
• Made in the USA with molded flat-back shape for space saving
• Low-maintenance: occasional cleaning of screens and spigots recommended

Who is this for? The RTS Home Accents 50-Gallon ECO Rain Barrel 2-pack is aimed at homeowners, gardeners, and renters with outdoor water needs who want a compact, sustainable storage solution. It suits people with limited outdoor space who need a near-wall installation, anyone seeking to reduce municipal water use for irrigation, and gardeners who prefer an easy-to-install system that arrives with the parts needed to link two barrels together.
