Rain Tank Depot set out to design the most economical rainwater collection barrel on the market. What we came up with is the Garden Pal Rain Barrel. Currently available in a 55 gallon model, and a 100 gallon version, the Garden Pal arrives ready to harvest the rain. The Garden Pal isn't a scuffed, recycled barrel that smells like olive oil or pickles; it's constructed from 100% virgin UV inhibited polyethylene resin that complies with FDA regulations for potable water storage. The pigments used for color help to suppress algae growth. The Garden Pal series continues to be the lightest, most affordable, and easy-to-install rain barrels yet to reach the market. The Garden Pal Rain Barrel arrives with a 16mesh mosquito-proof screened basket installed and a 3/4" male hose adapter. Place the Garden Pal under your downspout, attach your garden or soaker hose, and watch your garden bloom (regardless of municipal water restrictions)!
