Cascata 245 Litre Rain Barrel

This most attractive Cascata 245 Litre Rain Barrel arrived at our front door, with-in less than 48 hours of placing the order with Amazon. Visually it appeared to be larger than the advertised dimensions suggest, but they are correct and this make it a more visible garden feature.The unit arrived in perfect condition and comes with a useful range of accessories, including a brass tap, thread sealing tape and options for filling. Our only criticism is that the instructions could be improved to aid understanding, but generally common sense enables one to work out what fits where We are yet to build a base and use it in anger and will comment on its functionality in the future. However we are very pleased with it so far and think it is well worth the price asked.We were also very impressed with the service of the suppliers. Diggers Garden Products

Great looking product with realistic, terracotta-style finish. Haven't put it to use yet but am sure it will look terrific standing at the corner of our new conservatory.

100% better looking than the usual water butts, very pleased with the purchased.

Bigger than I was expecting, suppose I should have been better at measuring. Seems like a good item, and should be durable enough. The lid is not deep, so would need shallow rooting plants if used as a planter. There is a filter inserted under the lid which is a sheet of plastic full of holes - I covered it with a couple of pieces of sacking which then act as a more functional filter; necessary if it's to be fed from a roof.

I like the shape and looks good as it’s going to be in a very prominent position.

Love the shape, it does the job well. The small size tap and hoses could be a bit bigger, and the disk/lid would benefit from small drainage holes, or else suggest growing water plants in it.

It looks good and was easy to set up. But the outlet hose and its hole at the bottom is unsatisfactory, and the hose arrived damaged.
