Desert Plastics Cubo 55 Gallon Rain Barrel - Green

The Cubo green rain barrel has all of the essential elements plus extra features for effective rainwater collection storage and distribution. This rain barrel holds 55 gallons and has vertical parallel sides which offer less resistance to expanding ice than constricting shapes. Plus the cylindrical shape allows a very high hoop strength for the quantity of resin used.A zinc garden drain valve is standard and an internal overflow tube provides the necessary release of excess water through a drain outlet inset in the base of the barrel. Thermal welded fittings and seamless construction both serve to prevent water leakage. The Cubo is built with UV protection additive and is FDA approved for potable water. The dark green color helps to minimize algae growth and the built-in color pigment eliminates future paint chipping.The canale top is securely held to the main barrel body by (4) sets of embedded aluminum threaded inserts black steel set screws and zinc-plated wing nuts. Attaching the lid securely is important to making your rain barrel resistant to children or animal interferance and safety. The "wagon-wheel" lid design has an inset reinforced screened inlets to keep out mosquitoes insects oranic debris and small animals but allows rain water in easily. The canale style top is especially well suited to capture free-falling rain water from your flat roofed home. The large collection area of the canale top is necessary because falling water “spreads out” as it falls. It occupies a much larger area after it falls six to eight feet and we must be ready to capture it. If the top is not properly designed it will cause the falling water to splash excessively.The 55 gallon rain barrel is ideal for most of the year but it is recommended to drain the barrel once temperatures dip to freezing levels to prevent potential cracking. This rain barrel is made with food grade plastic resin. This does not allow for or mean you can drink the rainwater straight from the bin without filtering. However food grade plastic resin is recommended for rain barrels even if water is intended for irrigation purposes as food grade plastic reduces the amount of chemicals being absorbed into the rainwater.
