I appears that this rain barrel has a removable top. Is that correct?

Yes, it does however when the barrel fills it can be difficult to remove. I am not sure whether that is the case with all barrels of this manufacturer and make but it is true with my rain barrel.
1609603
Yes it does. The top kind of snaps on, so it doesn't blow off but is easy to remove. I have not had problems taking it off with the rain barrel full.

Yes it is. You have to give the top a good tug to get it off, so dump as much water out of it as you can or you will get wet!

Yes, the top is vented. he rain fly is on in this picture so you cant see it. Also, the front is screened with a rain fly that can be peeled back to allow for a nice view when it's not raining.

Dear Ellis, Thank you for writing about our Algreen 81003 Castilla Rain Barrel with Brass Spigot, Terra Cotta, 50-Gallon (#38-684). The top of this rain barrel style is divided. It has an opening for rain water, and a planter. The simple answer is yes: if you positioned the rain chain over the opening, you could certainly use it to divert water into the barrel. However, a plant next to the opening might be over hydrated if a lot of water splashed onto it. I hope this makes sense! We appreciate your interest. Thanks for making Gardener's Supply your source for gardening products and information. Please let us know if we can help you with anything else. Sincerely, Darcy Customer Service

The top comes down pretty secure. I haven't noticed any water inside. However a little water could come in around the top during a hard rain.

Yes, but it also has holes on the top as well. So, I am not comfortable running in the rain due to the holes on the top. Other than that, worth the price. Good product.

Some rain water will still go to the downspout but most will go to your rain barrel. I have my system set up so that when the rain barrel is full there is an overflow coming from the rain barrel with flexible plastic tubing that diverts the water where I want it to go so the amount of water from the downspout is minimized (one downspout is close to my house and I can not extend it very easily).

Just the top no rain rail no hardware. I had to contact the seller to get the link to the installation video. Fairly straightforward installation good looking top.

Yes, once the barrel is full, any excess rainwater continues down the spout (assuming you're using a barrel with a sealed lid, not something like a hinged-lid garbage can).

I have two of the subject rain barrels; own two other ones that are a different kind. The plastic is THICK and good quality. You will love your Koyto rain barrel.

No there is not a complete lid. The screen is what allows the rainwater to enter the barrel.

The rain barrel I purchased had a built-in spout, so I did not need to cut the hose... if you're going to cut a hose, perhaps an old garden hose would do the trick. The material is very study, so don't think it would be wise to cut. Hope this helps.

yes the top is removable. the sides are also hooked as a ring and removable. it was a great purchase!

yes, but don't place it more than a few (2 or 3 in) above the rain barrel. make sure to put an overflow outlet in the final rain barrel or if connecting them in series.(0-0-0- the 0 = barrels and the - = connectors or outlet/overflow)

Charlotte, if you're speaking of down spouts that run down the side of the house, then it will not fit into the 4 1/2 opening of the rain barrel. However, I have seen on a house that the rain barrel is pushed up against the house and the down spout just let's the water run into the opening of the lid without even touching it. Seems to work for them. I connected a plastic accordion type pipe (from Lowes) that is bendable and fit between my down spout and barrel opening. Equally importantly though, make sure you have an overflow tube and a place for the water to run. You wouldn't believe how fast this fills up. It works great! I would buy another one if I needed it. Good luck!

It comes with an "outlet port plug" - a red cap that doesn't look all that strong but would allow rain to continue on down the main downspout.I will secure the plug with tape after I remove the rain barrel for the winter.

It did not work with my Rain Barrel. Your millage may vary. Note, it sounded like a solenoid as opposed to a motor when it "opened".
