This rain barrel is visually a nice design, looks great beside the house, but the functional design could be improved upon. The water outlet, a small protruding pipe, is at the very bottom and the clamp that came with the unit to hold the hose over this came off immediately becasue it did not tighten enough. I then went to 2 hardware stores and could not get a clamp small enough to fit. We eventually used an improvised wire clamp but this also sometimes comes off. This rain barrel has no way to attach to the downspout directly which I have since learned is a bit of a drawback as this allows the rain barrel to fill and then once full the water flows through the downspout. I would also go with a larger size as this got full in one rainstorm and when you have a flexible hose going into the barrel it just means the water will gush out the flexibe hose and onto the ground. Overall a nice looking barrel but could use some design enhancements like a fully integrated hose fitting positioned a little higher on the barrel.Click Here to see more reviews about: Agua Rain Barrel - Slate Grey
