Collapsible Rain Barrel – 53 Gallon, 3-Ply PVC, Mesh Filter, High-Flow & Downspout Spigots, Overflow Valve

53 Gallons of Free Water. Folds Flat When You Don't Need It.

A rigid 53-gallon rain barrel is a permanent fixture you have to find space for year-round, even during dry months when it's not collecting anything. This collapsible rain barrel solves that — set it up under your downspout for the rainy season, capture 53 gallons of free water for garden, lawn, and outdoor use, then fold it flat and store it in a closet or garage corner when you don't need it. No barrel-shaped hole in your yard for half the year.

53 Gallons — What That Actually Covers

A typical roof sheds hundreds of gallons during a single rainstorm. Capturing even a fraction of that in a 53-gallon reservoir covers weeks of garden watering during dry stretches, multiple car washes, or general outdoor water needs — all without it touching your water bill. Position it under any downspout and let gravity do the collection work.

3-Ply PVC Construction — Built to Survive Outside Year-Round

The barrel body uses 3-ply PVC material engineered to resist UV degradation, heat, freezing, and cracking through repeated weather cycles. Unlike rigid plastic barrels that become brittle and crack in freeze-thaw cycles, the flexible PVC construction tolerates temperature swings without structural failure. Reinforcing support rods hold the barrel's shape when filled, and a tough zipper closure seals the access point without leaking.

Mesh Top Filter — Keeps Debris and Insects Out

The mesh-covered top intake does double duty: it filters leaves, twigs, and large debris from entering the barrel as water flows in from your downspout, and it physically blocks mosquitoes and other insects from accessing the standing water inside. Standing water without a filtered top becomes a mosquito breeding ground within days — the mesh prevents that while still letting rainwater pass through freely.

High-Flow Spigot + Downspout Spigot — Two Access Points

The barrel includes two distinct spigots for different tasks:

• 🚿 High-flow spigot — fills buckets, watering cans, and spray containers quickly without a slow trickle
• 🔧 Downspout spigot — connects directly to a standard garden hose for hands-free watering of garden beds, lawns, or container plants at a distance from the barrel

Both spigots use a screw-in design with leak-proof washers installed on both the inside and outside of the barrel wall — tightened properly, this creates a sealed connection that doesn't drip or weep over time.

Overflow Valve — Prevents Uncontrolled Spilling

When the barrel reaches capacity, the overflow valve/spout directs excess water away in a controlled path rather than letting it spill randomly over the top edge. Connect a standard hose to the overflow port to route excess water to a garden bed, a second barrel, or away from your foundation — turning what would otherwise be wasted overflow into additional usable water.

Collapsible Design — Fold Flat When Not in Use

When the rainy season ends or you're moving to a new location, the barrel folds flat for storage in a fraction of the space a rigid barrel requires. No bulky permanent fixture taking up garage or shed space year-round. Setup and breakdown both take just a few minutes with the included support rods and assembly hardware.

What to Use Collected Rainwater For

• 🌱 Garden beds and vegetable plots (unchlorinated water plants prefer)
• 🌿 Lawn watering during dry periods
• 🚗 Car and equipment washing
• 🐔 Livestock and poultry watering
• 🏡 General outdoor water needs without touching municipal supply

Who Uses This Barrel

• 🌱 Home gardeners — free water supply for beds, containers, and raised gardens
• 🏡 Homeowners — reduce water bills during peak watering season
• 🌿 Homesteaders — water independence for gardens and livestock
• 🥬 Preppers — stored water reserve independent of municipal systems during outages
• 🏙️ Seasonal users — set up for rainy season, fold flat and store the rest of the year

Pro tip: Position the barrel on a stable, level, slightly elevated platform (a few concrete blocks work well) rather than directly on the ground. The added height increases gravity flow pressure at the spigot, making it noticeably faster to fill watering cans and easier to connect a hose for gravity-fed garden watering.
