The Bushman RC150-GREEN is a 150-gallon green polyethylene rain barrel tank, built for rainwater harvesting and above-ground non-potable water storage where a compact footprint matters. It measures 57 inches in every dimension (57 x 57 x 57), giving it a 57.0 x 57.0-inch footprint - a squat, stable profile that tucks against a wall or downspout without dominating the yard. The dimensions on this listing are verified, so you can plan your pad and gutter routing off real numbers rather than estimates.
Will it work for your site?
At 150 gallons, this Bushman rain barrel sits in the residential-to-light-commercial rainwater capture range: a single downspout feed, garden and landscape irrigation, or a supplemental water reserve. It is rated for 1.0 specific-gravity water service - clean rainwater and other water-weight liquids, not chemicals. Filled to capacity, plan for roughly 1,251 pounds of operating load sitting on that 57 x 57-inch footprint. That figure is the weight of the water in service, not the tank's shipping weight. The load is what drives the two things you get right before delivery: a level, load-rated base and correct gutter-to-inlet routing. If you are not sure 150 gallons matches your catchment area and demand, run the numbers through our Tank Sizing Calculator and cross-check against the Tank Sizing Guide before you commit.
Pad, plumbing, and the mistake to avoid
The single biggest error with a full rain barrel tank is setting it on soft or unlevel ground. Over 1,200 pounds of water concentrated on a small footprint will find any weak spot in the base, and a tank that leans stresses its fittings and outlet. Set it on a firm, level, properly sized pad - our guide on concrete pad sizing for above-ground polyethylene tanks walks through the ACI framework for getting that base right. For first-flush diverter sizing and harvesting layout specific to this line, see Bushman Rainwater Harvesting Tanks: First-Flush Diverter Sizing. Refer to the technical drawing on this page to confirm fitting locations against your plumbing plan. If this tank feeds a larger grey-water or rainwater reuse train, our write-up on industrial water reuse tank topology covers how quality-banded storage stages sequence together.
