Product Description

Picture this: a sun-warmed clay jar that looks like it was carried out of an old Italian villa, herbs spilling over its rim, and 158 gallons of free rainwater waiting inside for your garden.
That's the Graf Antique Amphora Rain Barrel. It has the timeless shape of a Mediterranean amphora (handles, aged terracotta texture and all), but it's made from tough, UV-stable polyethylene, so it won't chip, crack in the sun or fade like real clay. And thanks to the built-in planter on top, it isn't something you hide behind the shed. It's the piece your neighbors ask about.
💧 Did you know? Just 1 inch of rain falling on a 1,000 sq ft roof sends about 600 gallons down your gutters. That's enough to fill this barrel almost 4 times from a single storm.
Why Gardeners Fall for It
🏺 Looks like real terracotta
A sculpted amphora with handles and an aged clay finish that dresses up patios, courtyards and garden walls.
🌸 A planter on top
Grow basil, rosemary, petunias or trailing ivy right above your water supply.
💪 158 gallons of capacity
That's roughly 79 trips with a 2-gallon watering can, all from water you didn't pay for.
🦟 No mosquito nursery
The closed design has no open screen on top, so mosquitoes can't get in to breed.
🌑 Algae stays out
Thick, dark walls block sunlight, so your water stays cleaner for longer.
☀️ Built for the outdoors
UV-stable and weather-resistant, with a fast-flow spigot included so it's ready to use.
Why Your Plants Will Thank You
Rainwater is naturally soft and chlorine-free, the way plants like it. Vegetables, greenhouse seedlings, flower beds and potted plants all do better on it than on treated tap water. Every gallon you catch is one less on your water bill, and your garden keeps drinking even during summer watering restrictions.
Complete Your Setup
🔗 Graf Downspout Connection Kit
The must-have. It fills the barrel straight from your gutter (fits round or rectangular downspouts).
Makes draining quick and easy for cleaning or before a hard freeze.

❄️ Winter Care in 3 Easy Steps
Water expands when it freezes and can crack any rain barrel. Before the first hard freeze:
- Empty it completely.
- Disconnect it from the downspout or close off the water inlet.
- Leave the spigot open so any leftover water drains out.
Bonus: in a covered spot, the planter keeps looking good all winter with evergreens or cold-hardy pansies.
