Where do u buy the barrel?

[@karennickerson8781]

What happens when the barrel is full?

[@gailniebeg693]

Forgot the screws

How do you handle wind blowing the barrel if there isn't a lot of water in there?

[@rougesunset]

The instructions say to fill it with some water if wind is a concern before the barrel is able to collect any rain water

I would have attached the downspout outlet higher than the inlet to the barrel so gravity would cause better flow into the barrel.

Wow. "They're about a dollar a piece." They're $3 now. What a difference a year makes, right?

Had the level upside down

Beware! Dont buy this if your barrel inlet is on the top of your barrel because eventually your barrel will overflow. There iis no shut-off. This diverter requires a side inlet to your barrel, that allows gravity to stop it from overflowing. They do not explain that in their information.

[@marcovargas2805]

our barrel over fklows and all the water floods our patio? what do you mean about making or having a side inlet to the barrel

Metal shouldn't go with plastic. That metal faucet will crack the plastic barrel overtime due to the temperature of the heat. Plastic goes with plastic, metal goes with metal.

the faucet is plastic, not metal
