Overview

Save your rainwater for watering your garden or washing your car with this large, durable rain barrel. We like this rain barrel because it is 100% repurposed. Originally used to ship olives from Europe, these barrels are built strong enough for trans-Atlantic shipments and will last many years as your rain barrel. The Great American Rain Barrel, with its 60-gallon capacity, stands sturdy and reliable, ready to collect and store rainwater for eco-friendly gardening and sustainable water use.

Features & Benefits:

  • Rain barrel made from repurposed olive barrels
  • Large 60 gallon capacity
  • Easy to install
  • Links to other rain barrels easily
  • Insect and debris screen prevents mosquitoes from breeding
  • Choice of color: Forest Green, Earth Brown or Nantucket Grey
  • Stable, durable and UV protected material
  • Includes rain barrel, screw-on lid, insect screen, plastic threaded spigot, one 3/4" overflow valves, drain plug and a choice between two ports to place your spigot.
  • Comes with 1 year warranty
  • Made in the USA

*Please note, all great American rain barrels are re-purposed and may have markings from their original use as olive barrels. If you live in an area that experiences freezing temperatures, we recommend that you drain your rain barrels before temperatures approach the freezing point, and leave your spigot open. Do not allow water to freeze in your rain barrel.

    Great brown 60 gallon rain barrel from Eartheasy

    This is second barrel order from Eartheasy. First order was for Grey barrel for relative. Quality was amazing, so we ordered one for ourselves in brown. Haven't setup gutters & rain chains on carport yet, but plan to order 2nd brown barrel for the other side. Shipping was quick & efficient. Website is easy to navigate. Very pleased with order & vendor.

    Great American Rain Barrels are an Excellent Value

    These barrels are of high quality & definitely will last a long time. We purchase (1) Grey for a relative & (1) brown for our use. Plan on ordering an additional brown to complete gutter system on carport. Setup was a breeze. Website was easy to use & shipping was fast & efficient. Highly recommend both barrels & company.

    I want moooooore!

    My rain barrel is AWESOME, and the green color is pretty too! We bought an Oatey Mystic downspout diverter from our local hardware, which was easy to install, and the barrel was FULL within two days of limited rain. We made the mistake of putting the spigot on the second-to-lowest hole, so we had trouble getting the water out of the bottom of the barrel. We then moved the spigot and that shouldn't be a problem again. I'd love to have multiple barrels linked so that I could save even more water!

    Great rain barrels

    It’s a good looking barrel with a screw on top which is great in a high wind area. It is more sturdy than most of my other rain barrels. These rain barrels are quite necessary for a draught area like I live in.

    Great American Rain Barrel

    Mostly good, but difficult to set up and the overflow ports need to be larger and should have come with provided hoses. The capture holes in the lid could also be larger. In a moderate rain water was simply running over the sides.

    Just okay

    Just purchased two of these for my first rain barrel setup. The good: they are up-cycled barrels, super sturdy, stable, and hold a lot of water. The not-so-good: installing the included spigots and plugs is difficult. I am 6' tall with long arms, but I could not reach far enough to install the spigot at the bottom port without putting the barrel on its side and crawling inside (while my wife held the spigot steady on the outside). The ports are pre-drilled with threads, but the threads don't mesh well with the included plastic screw-plugs; they are difficult to screw in and they leak when the barrel is full. Plumber's tape didn't fix the issue, so TGARB customer service is sending me some new hardware with rubber washers for a better seal. I wish the spigots had more flow, because these ones take a long time to fill up a bucket or watering can. Finally, I was surprised that the paint scratches off quite easily; I didn't buy these barrels for looks, but was expecting a tougher coating for an outdoor product.

    Unfortunately the barrel leaks. Still

    Unfortunately the barrel leaks. Still trying to fix it so haven't been able to use it yet.

    Excellent Rain Barrel

    We are very pleased with our purchase of this rain barrel. It replaces another one we had that split down the side seam. This product is very sturdy, well-built and easy to set up.
