ACHLA Rain Barrels are among the most durable rain barrels on the market. They are made from UV-stable polyethylene for a long lifespan and protection against the damages of sunlight. The built-in four foot garden hose allows for convenient watering of plants. The barrel also holds up to 54 gallons of water and includes a link kit to add barrels for increased capacity. Each ACHLA Rain Barrel is produced from UV8- stabilized resin. This fade-resistant plastic material will never rot or become prey to insect infestations. The heavy-duty, rotational molded construction ensures a long lifespan. The unique advantage of these rain barrels is the use of roto-molding. Rotational molding produces vinyl products as one piece with a consistent, even wall thickness to prevent separation and leakage. ACHLA Designs have made this rain barrel to withstand the test of time. Not only is it constructed of durable materials, but the design includes all you need in a rain barrel. The removable screen on top keeps unwanted particles from the water. The barrel also comes complete with a four foot garden hose and thumb valve. In addition, every Rain Catcher is shipped with a foolproof linking kit so you can add capacity as your garden grows.
