WaterStones Sandstone Rain Barrel – Product Review

I’ve always liked the idea of having a nice garden in my backyard, and I can’t imagine that beautiful oasis being overtaken by a big, unattractive plastic rain barrel.  I’ll admit, it’s not really about the aesthetics but about the environment…but why can’t a rain barrel be both functional and attractive?  The WaterStones Sandstone Rain Barrel is just that.  Designed to look like a real rock, this rain barrel blends easily into any environment or can be used to stand out as a focal point in the yard.  Constructed of sandstone colored, uv-stable resin, it will stand up to harsher weather conditions, although it should be stored in a warm, dry place once the weather cools off. 

 

Setting this rain barrel apart from is the included downspout diverter kit!  This diverter is not just any cheap diverter kit either, this is the one we recommend the most.  It quickly and easily attaches to the downspout and attaches to the rain barrel with a tubular hose.  Once the rain barrel reaches capacity, the diverter automatically diverts rain back down the downspout.  No buttons to press or switches to flip, it’s as easy as hooking it up and letting it do all the work. 

 

If you’ve been unsure about adding a rain barrel to your yard, don’t hesitate anymore.  You’ll be doing yourself and the environment a huge service with hardly any effort.  So just sit back, relax, and let the rain barrel take care of everything.
