These collapsible rain barrels look sensible.

Pop Up Rain Barrel.

Made of flexible, puncture-resistant laminated polyester, this ingenious rain barrel holds up to 45 gallons of water. The wide top zips open for easy dipping, and a mesh screen keeps debris out. Includes pre-installed garden hose thread and cap. Folds to a mere 4" H for easy storage.

  • Wide top zips open for easy dipping
  • Zippered mesh screen keeps debris out


  • I've shopped this site before with satisfaction and no troubles, gardners.com.

    I'm going to get one for sure.

    I saw this in the Gardener's catalog and now I'm obsessed to get one. It's perfect for my situation but apparently they are no longer available anywhere that I can find. Did you actually get yours? Do you like it? I need to find out where I can get one!

    Rebekah: It is hard to find a collapsible rain barrel these days. All sold out! I found one at Costco within the last few weeks and blogged about it here:

    Thank you! I saw that posting after this and am looking into it. I'll even consider buying a Costco membership just for this if I can actually find them in Arizona!
