Peso Rain Barrel - 50 Gallon

Choose between 5 colors.

The Peso rain barrel holds 50 gallons and has vertical parallel sides, which offer less resistance to expanding ice than constricting shapes. Plus, the cylindrical shape allows a high hoop strength for the quantity of resin used.

The Peso is guaranteed to be leak-free. Thermal welded fittings and seamless construction both serve to prevent water leakage.

The fixed lid is important to keep children or animals out. The top of the Peso rain barrel has inset screens. The straining material is common door screen, which keeps the barrel mosquito resistant, yet allows good water flow. It is held into place on the topside by a poly ring that is stapled into the main body. While this style is best with falling water, it also works very well with downspouts and rain chains. The large collection area of the top is necessary because falling water “spreads out” as it falls.

The Peso rain barrel is made from food grade plastic resin, with UV additives to protect the plastic from the sun. 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.

Like every rain barrel, it’s wise to drain the 50 gallon Peso rain barrel once temperatures dip to freezing levels to prevent potential cracking. You can leave it hooked up, just be sure to keep the bottom drain open.
