Rain barrels are made of 100-percent recycled plastic and are designed to collect water from a downspout. They have a child-proof and bug-proof lid that keeps out mosquitos and also feature a drain valve at the bottom that connects to a garden hose. The rain barrels are gravity-fed and do not require a pump.
