Last year we purchased two different types of rain barrels - one that looks like a half barrel with a screen on top and a brass spigot at the bottom, and a square one with a hose (you can still attach a garden how to it). I prefer the square one. The barrel in the top photo have an overflow that is too close to the foundation (both purchased at Menards). The screen lifts out and flows off in overflow action as well. It still works, but I wanted to share.
