Hello! I need some recommendations on a good rain barrel. I’m applying for a rebate so it needs to be 45g or more and meet the below criteria. Does anyone have any recs? Planning to stack a few side by side and hook up spouts/hoses. I don’t have space for a pond or an under ground one.

Openings must be protected from pests, unintentional entry by humans, andtampering.
-
Barrels/cisterns must have a secure lid (for example, a lid secured byscrews or clips, a threaded lid, or similar).
-
All openinlets and outlets must bescreened withat least 1/16 inchscreen or other equivalent method to preventmosquito entry and breeding.
-
Must be designated by the manufacturer for storage of rainwater or potable water.
-
Food grade barrels and IBC totes that have been converted for use as a rain barrel are eligible provided they meet the conditions of these guidelines.
-
Must be constructed of opaque, UV resistant materials (e.g. heavilytinted plastic, metalbarrel/cistern with lining, concrete, etc.) or must be protected byspecially constructed sun barriers (e.g. installed under a shed, shade structure etc.).
