## Overview

The FCMP Outdoor RC45 is a 45-gallon heavy-duty rain barrel designed for efficient rainwater harvesting. Featuring a sleek flat-back design for easy wall placement, it comes complete with a debris screen, 3.5-foot garden hose with shut-off valve, and hose clip for versatile watering options.

## Description

Make a sustainable impact on the environment and simultaneously cut costs with the FCMP Outdoor RC45 Rain Barrel. Featuring a securely fixed lid, the barrel boasts a strategically designed small opening, preventing the inadvertent entry of children or pets. The inclusive 3.5-foot garden hose, equipped with a convenient shut-off valve, serves a dual purpose—facilitating the filling of watering cans or attaching to longer garden hoses, extending water reach into your garden, yard, or expansive landscape. The barrel's thoughtfully crafted flat back design allows for seamless placement against any wall. Its substantial 45-gallon capacity not only provides an ample water reserve but also contributes to relieving the strain on municipal water resources. Your plants will thrive on the supply of healthy, chemical-free water. Strategically position the rain barrel around your home to capture the continuous flow of fresh, chlorine-free water from downspouts, eliminating unnecessary wastage into storm sewers. It's a conscious effort to harness water efficiently. However, it's crucial to note that this rain barrel isn't suitable for freezing temperatures. To avoid potential ice damage and maintain the warranty, it's imperative to drain the barrel and flip it accordingly during colder weather. Take a proactive step to save money and play your part in conserving water resources for your garden and landscaping needs by investing in the FCMP Outdoor RC45 Rain Barrel.

Review: Wonderful experience, easy to install because it can sit on the ground. - This is a great water solution. Fills readily even with a lighter rain. The short hose that you mount to it is attached with a p-clamp, which feels janky but seems to work fine. I prefer that to a spigot for filling watering cans, because I didn't have to lift the barrel with a stand. I can just tip the hose into a watering can to fill them, rather than having to keep the barrel high enough to fill a watering can. The end of the hose has a male hose attachment, so you can use a regular garden hose to water with as well. Pressure seems great as long as the barrel is at least partly full. Next year I will be attaching this to a garden irrigation system, so all I have to do it turn the valve, to water the garden.
Review: Great customer service - I Ordered 2 rain barrels. One had a product defect and leaked. I contacted the company directly and they shipped a replacement immediately. The product works exactly as advertised and is an improvement on the earlier version. I particularly like the new placement of the outlet. The older version had it a couple of inches from the bottom so it was hard to get all the water out.

Holds a lot of water! Comes fully assembled. Only issues I have with it are that the hose is not long enough and it’s coming out of the back..
