RTS Home Accents 55-Gallon Rain Barrel Stand — Black recycled resin platform, elevates spigot for easier watering

The RTS Home Accents 55-Gallon Rain Barrel Stand is a sturdy, eco-friendly black platform—made from 100% recycled material—designed to elevate and support RTS 55-gallon flat-back rain barrels for easier spigot access and long-lasting outdoor use.

This compact stand raises your rain barrel off the ground to improve water flow, make filling watering cans simpler, and protect the barrel base from ground moisture. Built from fully recycled resin, the stand resists weathering and offers a low-maintenance foundation that sits flat against walls or siding to save space. It’s specifically engineered to pair with RTS Home Accents’ 55 Gallon Premium Flat Back Rain Barrel with Removable Lid, delivering reliable height and stability for backyard water collection systems.

How does this stand make using a rain barrel easier?

Elevating the barrel increases gravity-fed water pressure and brings the spigot to a convenient height for buckets, watering cans, and hoses. The raised platform also reduces strain when accessing the outlet and keeps the barrel base clear of debris and standing water.

• Lifts barrel to ergonomic spigot height for easier filling and flow.
• Improves gravity-fed water output without pumps.
• Keeps the barrel bottom off wet ground to extend service life.

Is the stand weatherproof and durable for year-round outdoor use?

Yes — the stand is molded from 100% recycled, weather-resistant material that withstands sun, rain, and temperature changes with minimal upkeep. Its design resists cracking and fading while maintaining structural strength season after season.

• Constructed from recycled resin for UV and moisture resistance.
• Stable footprint that resists tipping under typical filled loads.
• Low maintenance: rinse or wipe down as needed, no sealing required.
