How does rainwater drain from the platform?

On the platform where the wood is in the shape of a triangle there is one hole on each side at the furthest point out from where the seed container is. Hard for me to explain but it does have these two holes

It doesn't. The holes don't drain the tray. I periodically scrape any wet seed out of the platform. Most of the time the seed is protected by the roof, but my sprinkling system sometimes gets the seed wet.

There are little holes in the bottom near the corners. I use sunflower seeds, and the husks fall through there, also.

We accumulate water from run off of our roof so it doesn't go through the downspout. We use that and the rain water that also accumulate in the barrel for our hydrangea plant and have no problem.

It has a hole on the back side if it gets too full then the water drains out that hole.

There are slats in the bottom for drainage. We have used them for over a year planted with small palm trees, flowers and herbs. Perfect for our patio garden.

You screw the water hose in one port, then a "drainage" hose on the other port. I just drain mine in the grass and work fast. Most small pumps can't handle it.

It fills up so fast during a rainstorm the water only flows out of that pipe when it reached the top. You can use that overflow pipe to connect it to another rain barrel or other water storage device.

It didn't. The screen at the top allows the water to enter the rain barrel from the down spout. Perhaps if you have it directly under the down spout it eill fill directly into the barrel.

There is a drain in the back of the unit at floor level. I added a condensate pump to boost it from the floor out a window. There is also a very large exhaust hose that goes with an included window mount.

There is a drain stop inside of it. You just pull the stopper out and it drains.

The flat lower area behind the plant holders will over fill . That is where the drain holes are that flow down to the bottom . I drilled a hole in mine on the back side to the level I wanted and ran a clear poly tube next to the wall to drain off the patio just in case .

This pump works on a switch, and pumps very nicely at a low point where it can get the most water out. We have used it for a year now and rain water is about all we pump out, and the extra water from the live well when the big one doesn't get away. Ha ha..

There is a plug in the bottom with a hose that runs to the outside for draining.

We drain ours through a PVC pipe that turns into a planter. We do to have a drain either.

Some rain water will still go to the downspout but most will go to your rain barrel. I have my system set up so that when the rain barrel is full there is an overflow coming from the rain barrel with flexible plastic tubing that diverts the water where I want it to go so the amount of water from the downspout is minimized (one downspout is close to my house and I can not extend it very easily).

No, it does not. There are tiny open slats along the sides, at the base where the house lies on. I suppose you could use a power setting on your hose, direct it through the circular opening in the front, add some soap or bleach or whatever you use, cover the hole and shake furiously around for awhile and then rinse thouroughly. It would then drain through the bottom slats.

You have to buy the installation kit separately. Once you have the kit, you can attach to walls/pillars/etc. Install at an angle so that no collection of water can occur during the rain season.

No drainage system necessary. The bottom is open so it just drains into the ground or whatever you have it sitting on.
