RTS Home Accents 50-Gallon Rain Barrel Flat-Back Woodgrain with Stand — UV‑Resistant, Brass Spigot

RTS Home Accents 50‑gallon flat‑back rain barrel with stand collects and stores rainwater in a durable, space‑saving, woodgrain‑finish container for garden and outdoor use.

This 50‑gallon rain barrel pairs practical water harvesting with a rustic woodgrain aesthetic and a compact flat‑back profile that tucks neatly against fences, siding, or small patios. Built from UV‑resistant polyethylene, the barrel is designed to resist sun damage and outdoor wear while the included stand raises the spigot for easier filling of watering cans and hose attachments. With an overflow valve and premium brass spigot, the unit supports simple, reliable rainwater capture and connection to additional barrels if you want to expand storage.

How much water can I store and what can I use it for?

The barrel holds 50 gallons of harvested rainwater—enough for frequent garden watering, container plants, or quick outdoor tasks. Using stored rainwater reduces demand on municipal or well supplies and gives you a readily available source for landscape maintenance during dry spells.

• 50‑gallon capacity for multiple waterings or large container beds
• Suitable for garden beds, lawns, potted plants, and washing outdoor gear
• Stand elevates barrel for easier gravity flow into watering cans or hoses

How does the design fit limited spaces and outdoor styles?

The flat‑back shape lets the barrel sit flush against walls, fences, or narrow corners to conserve space on small patios or alongside downspouts. Its woodgrain finish with black stripes offers a natural, decorative look that blends with backyard landscaping while the neutral tones avoid clashing with exterior paint or hardscaping.

• Flat‑back profile saves room and positions securely against structures
• Woodgrain color and black accents provide a rustic, unobtrusive look
• Made in the USA for consistent finish and quality control

What hardware and features make this barrel easy to use and maintain?

The barrel includes a sturdy stand and a premium brass spigot so you can access water without bending or awkward lifting. A built‑in overflow valve keeps excess water under control and allows you to link multiple barrels to expand capacity; the polyethylene body resists UV damage for long outdoor life.

• Premium brass spigot for leak‑resistant, durable water access
• Overflow valve for excess management and connection to additional barrels
• UV‑resistant polyethylene construction for weather durability
• Included stand raises outlet height for easier filling and hose attachment

How do I install and connect this rain barrel to my downspout?

Installation is straightforward: set the flat back against your wall or fence, place the barrel on the included stand, and route a downspout diverter or flexible downspout to the barrel inlet. The overflow valve can be plumbed back to the gutter system or directed away from foundations for safe drainage.

• Place barrel on level ground and use the stand to elevate the spigot
• Attach a downspout diverter or flexible leader into the inlet
• Use the overflow fitting to direct excess water away from foundations
