Harness the power of nature and support water conservation efforts with the Lakewood Rain Barrel™, a high-capacity rain collection system that allows you to capture and store up to 60 gallons of fresh rainwater. The included stand elevates the unit to create more clearance for filling a watering can under the spigot and increase water pressure when used with a hose. The included ¾” brass spigot is highly durable, with an inset design that protects it from damage. With the option to link multiple barrels together, you can capture even more rainwater and effortlessly manage overflow. The water you collect is perfect for caring for your garden, maintaining your lawn, tackling outdoor cleaning, or collecting heavy rainfall and leading it away from your home’s foundation. Plus, it’s easy to clean by removing the screen and hosing it out. The Lakewood Rain Barrel is a distinguished addition to the Lakewood Collection, featuring the same authentic wood-like design, signature durability, and easy maintenance you know and love from Step2. Whether you’re an avid gardener, a cost-conscious homeowner, or an environmental enthusiast, this rain catcher offers a smart, stylish way to embrace sustainable water management while enhancing your outdoor living space.

Fell down on the execution.
"I wanted barrels with thicker bottoms, which these have, and the stand looked appealing. However, the design is lacking for any overflow and connecting multiple barrels, because they just put hollow tapered nubs that we have to drill out and somehow secure tubing to, with no way to anchor such tubing. Not even a ridge. Don't think that a hose clamp will work on this tapering bit of plastic, its Just kind of lame. Single barrels will not capture all of the water from a big event, i currently have 2 on each downspout (old ones now have holes in bottoms). The overflow cant even be diverted away from house with such a feeble way of attaching tubing. Disappointing for this high price point. Shame because the plastic is thick, i like the rectangular footprint and stand, and this could have been such a nice solution."
Great looking outdoor reservoir!
"This is a great looking outdoor reservoir. I cant have brass fittings and I was able to remove the factory installed brass bulkhead with a hammer and install a plastic one. Looks good and works great!"
Design is good except for
"Design is good except for there being no way to deal with overflow."
NO holes drilled for the screws.
"The rain barrel is sturdy and I like the fact that the spigot is brass, but the screen on top came with screws and screw holes, yet the plastic does not have any screw holes, thus the screws had nothing to screw into. Do I have to drill holes into the plastic at the top of the rain barrel? HOw easy would it have been for the manufacturers to drill the holes for the screws????"

"This rain barrel was absolutely perfect!!! The color is close to the color of our house, so it blends in instead of being the typical bright blue! And, you’d never know it was a rain barrel because it’s stylish!"
Great so far
"Very easy to setup. Live in Florida and we had a quick down pour for 10 minutes and it filled it all the way up. Buying another one"
Love it!
"We are very happy with this rain barrel! It combines functionality (raised for dispensing and larger capacity than most at 60 gallons) and aesthetics (perfect color and attractive for the front of our home without being all fancy). We installed it just in time for a rain shower, and our potted plants will be happier with rain water rather than city water. Highly recommend!"

"Well made product. Easy to assemble. Holds a lot of water and love the stand which makes it easier to access the spigot."
