- Larger capacity
- Decorative yards
- Planter top
- Durability
A larger, better-looking barrel for yards where appearance matters: 65 gal of durable double-wall resin with a removable crown planter top so it doubles as a flower pot. It ships ready to use with a brass spigot, screen guard, overflow and a 6 ft hose. It's tall, heavy and pricier than a utility barrel, and the decorative top catches less water than an open lid, but it's a handsome, high-capacity pick.
Pros
- 65 gal holds more than most single barrels and the double-wall resin is rigid and durable
- Removable planter top hides the barrel and lets you grow flowers right on top
- Comes ready to use with a brass spigot, screen guard, overflow and a 6 ft hose
Cons
- Tall and heavy, and once full it's essentially immovable, so site it carefully
- Costs more than a plain utility barrel of similar capacity
- The narrow decorative screen opening catches less roof water than a wide-open top
