This screen does NOT fit an IBC tote!!! The perfect rain barrel screen that will allow easy flow of water into your rain barrel while blocking debris and insects from getting in. Your rain barrel will run smoother and stay cleaner with the installation of one of our round rain barrel louver vents. Made out of aluminum, our screened rain barrel vents will be durable and withstand the bad weather your rain barrel may be exposed to. These rain barrel vents are designed to reduce the open area that water can evaporate from while still allowing water to flow in easily in order fill up your rain barrel from your downspout. The fine mesh has an easy time keeping debris from entering your barrel and prevents mosquitoes from laying eggs and hatching in the water. These are a must have for any rain barrel setup NOT for IBC Totes!!!

It Works
I mean, it's a strainer. Arrived in good shape with nice packaging and has held up being outside. Strains the larger items that I care about in my rain barrels

Works great....
I made a rain barrel for wash water if we ever need it. I cut a hole in the top and inserted this screen to filter out any debris, my downspout fills through this...

Seems sturdy.

A little beat up
Device is as described as far as size and mesh insert. The finish on the rim was a little beat up like it had been pecked on with a hammer. Didn't deter me from installation as it will serve the intended purpose and wasn't really meant for aesthetics. Although I did expect better. Hope this helps

Works really well
Put one in center of the lids of my rain barrels where the water comes in.

Rain Barrel Screen
Untested, but this should work nicely. There are 3 protruding nubs to hold it in place. They are not set deep enough to clear the thickness of the barrel top. I want to be able to remove it easily for cleaning, so I used a router to put 3 grooves in the barrel opening. The thought was to press the screen thru the grooves and turn it to lock and unlock it without trying to pry it up. Fortunately I cut the barrel opening perfectly for a snug fit for easy removal with little effort to pry it out.

As advertised
It is what I was expecting. It is aluminum so not the best metal for a highly active setting, but it is fine for what I want. Sits atop the rain barrel, into a cut-out in the top. The gutter down drain goes down to about 1/4 inch above the screen. We have had 2 light rain events since the purchase/install and both times the 55 gallon barrel was filled to the top... it overflow then that's fine as it would have fallen to the ground anyway. The screen keeps debris and maybe even mosquitoes out.

Perfect for rain buckets too!
I use these for my rain "buckets" - a 5 gallon bucket converted to a "rain bucket" - use with the food grade brass water spigots - easier to maneuver than the traditional large barrel! Very easy to connect - I do recommend using caulking around the hole to ensure a water-tight fit.
