These rain barrels are definately the prettiest ones I've come across in my search but I have not set them up now for several weeks. I have been contemplating returning them because in my weeks of searching for rain barrels I had planned on using a pump to irrigate my lawn with the rain water but one crucial element that the specifications listed is NOT true. It is stated that there is a LATCHABLE LID ,but when I received the barrels there is not. There is the mesh screen that must be unscrewed every time you would want to open the top, but the opening is 3x6 inches! That is not going to accommodate a sump pump fitting in it. So the only way  I can use the rain water is with a watering can. That is not what I planned so now I have to deal with returning this.
