The rain barrel would work if your side connectors will not be forward facing. Unfortunately, since the side connectors for diverters have chaulking that run done part of the barrel itself, the look is unprofessional for the prices and in our yard setup would be very forward facing. Otherwise the size is perfect, seems durable, and has a great area for planting on top! Would recommend if the side connectors are not public facing, and way fair customer service was wonderful to help us come to a solution!
