Flexible mesh cover with drawstring — protects stored rainwater and keeps barrels and buckets cleaner Key benefits Keeps water cleaner: fine mesh prevents fallen leaves, large debris, insects and frogs from entering the barrel while allowing rainwater to pass through. Secure in wind: a builtin drawstring tightens around the rim so the cover stays in place and resists wind displacement. Fits a range of containers: flexible design adjusts to different barrel diameters and can be used on buckets or irregularly shaped containers. Reusable and lowmaintenance: durable mesh is designed for repeated outdoor use and can be shaken or rinsed to remove trapped debris.
