Mesh Cover for Rain Barrels - 2pcs 39in Rain Barrel Netting with Drawstring, Water Collection Buckets Tank Protector Screen for Preventing Fallen Leaves in Outdoor Garden Eaves

This product will fit on wide range of sizes to keep unwanted stuff out of your water.

Barrel covers are very sturdy. Appear to be made to last. How I quickly solved the loose fit problem is simple. Once the cover is secure and taut at top and locked, wrap the excess pull string around the spigot once, (around 1 1/2 times). Tie a slip knot. Repeat once. Then, take the end and weave it through the last knot and tug gently.If too tight with the end tug it’ll be challenging to remove when storing barrels for winter or seasonally. The two slip knots should be adequate. But the last thread still needs woven and pulled lightly just in case the wind tries to take a hold and rip these screens off.An alternative method is bungie strap. Once attached and snug up top secure with a bungy strap. Use a piece of cardboard or wood to wrap the long string neatly so it doesn’t tangle. I’d suggest securing the spooled up string in a sandwich bag shut all the way so the string will be hosed or it’ll blow around.I wouldn’t suggest cutting it to fit. If you do you’ll figure out the issues with this choice.Hope these ideas are helpful to your rain barrels using these affordable cover solutions.I’m the Beautification Committee chair who facilitated rehabbing a couple of community gardens. The Master Gardeners got us so much grant money we can’t keep up with the process. For now, this is the system we set up in one garden without water sourcing.I’m excited to have these covers and prevent bug nurseries 🪰🦟⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💯

It is doing its job but the string should be able to pull tighter.

Easy to install. Stays where you put it and rain flows through to the barrel no problem. Good value. Would have liked option to just buy 1 instead of a 2 pack.

This really helped keep the mosquitoes out of my rain barrels and the leaves too. Good choice if you need to cover something but want to keep unwanted things out. It was easy to put on and remove to shake the leaves and pollen that accumulated on them. Glad I got them.

I've ordered these twice now. I'd actually bought a cheaper brand, bottom picture, and these are superior. The mesh is fine and doesn't allow for mosquito breeding which was my main goal. They're also versatile and can be used on rectangle totes too, not just rain barrels.

The mesh is nice and dense to keep pine needles and debris out. I’m hoping it keeps bugs and mosquitoes out too. They are a bit big for my 55 gal barrel rims so I find it sags a lot. So much rain has fallen, the barrels are full and top puddles water.

I collect rainwater in 55 gallon drums and needed something to keep the leaves and bird food and feathers from dirtying it. These work great! They also keep mosquito larvae out! I have to go out every so often and tug them tight, but overall, I’m very satisfied! Never even knew these existed until someone mentioned them. Glad they did!! Thanks so much!!

Covers standard 45 gallon drum. Draw strings stay tight even though debris from the gutter accumulate. No holes so far. Perfect for our needs.
