The placement of the barrel is not important. Just make sure the downspout empties anywhere on the top. Central to our BOWLED top style is a very large, easily removable, easily cleaned, mosquito resistant basket strainer. It can handle all of the water you can throw at it and still provide serious straining capacity, even in the presence of large leaves.
It is securely held to the main barrel body by (4) sets of embedded Aluminum threaded inserts, Stainless Steel set screws, and Phenolic/Brass 3-arm knobs. Quality. Long-lasting. Easy to use!
If you want to use a bowled top with a flat roof, we suggest using one of our many beautiful Rain Chains to control the falling water all the way to your barrel.
The bowled top is available on our Agua Fria Series only.
