It is still early, but so far this rain barrel is great!  Here's some photos of the instal.  Other photos I saw on here didn't look like a base was really made... When full, this baby will be 600 ish pounds!  I might've over engineered my base, but just something to think about if you buy this.  I dug about 8" of dirt out and replaced it with crushed granite that I leveled, then pea gravel, then pavers.  I'm hoping it won't sink.  ALSO!  slightly incidental awesomeness...  I bought the gator downspout from Wayfair as well and was able to hook it up to my gutter for this rain barrel.  Check out the photos.  It is pretty awesome.  Next project will be to try and run a motor and fountain set up so the gator is always going.  It will cut down on the algae build up and keep the water from being too stagnant.  It's a really cool combo purchase.  :D
