The RESCUE 50 Gal. Solid Brown Flat Back Whiskey Rain Barrel features an integrated planter and an easy-to-install, patented downspout diverter kit which fits 2 in. x 3 in. standard or 3 in. x 4 in. high capacity downspouts. The downspout diverter will automatically keep your rain barrel full when rain has fallen and bypasses the rain barrel when full, preventing overfilling and overflowing which can cause flooding. Both environmentally-friendly and budget-conscious, this rain barrel kit collects rainwater to help reduce your dependence on municipal or well water. In addition, your plants will thrive using pure, soft rain water instead of the processed water from your tap, which can contain harmful elements. As an added bonus, the diverter system does not have to be removed during the winter season. The diverter and rain barrel can be bypassed so that water flows through the downspout as usual, keeping water from getting into the rain barrel and freezing. The integrated planter can be planted directly into or a pre-arranged floral basket can be used to adorn the top of the barrel. The planter area includes a weep hole, allowing excess water to drain out and preventing plant stress or death due to over-watering and root rot. Material: Plastic.
