Rain Barrel Net Cover with Drawstring

What It Is / How It Works

Rain barrel covers are screen or net covers that sit over the open top of a rain barrel, tank or water bucket. The mesh layer lets rainwater in while keeping leaves and debris out of the stored water.

Who It's For / Use Cases

Rain barrel covers suit homeowners and gardeners who collect rainwater in barrels, tanks or buckets for watering plants. Anyone who wants a cover over an open collection container, so debris stays out of the water while rain still gets in, will find this type of cover useful.

How to Use / Care

1. Use it to cover the opening of a rain barrel or water bucket so rainwater can still reach the water inside.

How to Choose

Measure the opening of your barrel, tank or bucket first, then choose a cover that spans it fully. A cover that is too small leaves gaps for leaves and debris to enter. If you collect water in more than one container, match the cover to each opening so every container is protected.
