Is the lid removable or is the rain barrel one piece?

Yes it's removeable. The center also comes out so you can clean the debris from the screen.

The lid doesn't latch or anything but we have had ours for just shy of a year and the lid has never blown off. Some water has gotten in but I live in Washington so rain is prevalent. I am very happy with this purchase and would buy it again!

It comes in 2 pieces (barrel and base) and is very easy to assemble. I drilled a few holes in the base to facilitate drainage, but it's not absolutely necessary.

There's a hole with a gasket in one lid, to allow for the included water lock. The only thing I don't like about the lids is that they don't seem to snap shut over the top. Otherwise, it's a great kit!

My rain barrels are not open barrels. Each has a lid so they are sealed at all times. One has a mesh window screen covering it to prevent mosquitoes from getting in. I have had no mosquito problems whatsoever.

The lid can be removed. There are hinges that do keep it in place but I have by accident removed it completely, it does attach easily.

The hinged lid has 2 tabs that retrofit into two slots in the base. It is easily removable for cleaning and such.

Yes, the lids are one piece, but the bottles are also compatible with standard Ball 2 piece lids.

Lid is a separate item. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00063L0WS/ref=cm_sw_r_an_am_ap_am_us?ie=UTF8

The lid is removable. Once the lid is on the cooler it doesn't come off at all. It looks like there is a sealer on it.

I haven't used a rain barrel system so don't have an answer for you-mine is on a timer from a faucet.

Yes to both. It can be pulled back all the way so that it can hang in the back or the lid can be taken off completely bacuse it's just a Velcro attachment.

No valves or removable parts. The lid seals around the cut where a child cannot remove the lid. However, the lid is just a basic molded plastic lid.

Yes the inside is removable. I currently use it with my 100ft pocket hose. It is heavy enough to not blow away. The lid id the best part.

It is one piece. It is the center and ring combined. You just screw it into your jar as 1 piece.

The lid is plastic. It's sturdy and fits tightly but fairly flexible and not difficult to pop off when you want/need to.

It is supposed to be removable, but our's actually is not! It appears that it was dunked into the liquid zinc (to galvanize it against rust) with the rosette attatched, so the rosette is bonded to the spout. Although we have been tempted to try to force it to unscrew, we don't want to damage it. It is made in Mexico, which may explain this idiocy. We have had many watering cans over the years and never, ever experienced anything like this. we have not tried to contact the manufacturer, in Minnesota, but perhaps your question will motivate us to do so now.
