This rain barrel is perfect for our home. I wanted something that I didn't have to cut off my down spout and wasn't a giant blue water drum. This fit the bill perfectly. Installation took about 45 minutes. From leveling the Barrell to cutting holes in the Barrell and down spout, everything was well explained and I can't wait to start using it. All the big tools are included. Make sure you read the "tip" part of the directions. Saves time and hassle with their small suggestions.
