does the barrel have a drainage hole?

No, it doesn't have a drainage hole. I bought this to make an orchid arrangement, so I leave the plants in their containers inside of the barrel. I then put moss over the top which covers the containers nicely. I wasn't sure how to handle the watering issue, so I had the inside coated with a commercial grade water proof material and still only lightly water or mist the plants. I know....it sounds like a lot of trouble but the piece is so gorgeous that its worth the extra effort!

There is a small 1/4" hole in the bottom. The end of the barrel isn't exposed.

Yes, once the barrel is full, any excess rainwater continues down the spout (assuming you're using a barrel with a sealed lid, not something like a hinged-lid garbage can).

The one I received does not have any sort of drainage spout/hole.I have go tip it over to empty it.

Yes, but not a standard garden hose, and we have not tried to use it. I think it came with a short drainage tube, but am not sure.

It will go into the barrel until the barrel is full. Only then will it continue down the spout. We would use the water in the garden, so very rarely did it actually use the spout. Very happy with it

Don't worry, the internal design diverts water to the outlet for the barrel. I wondered the same thing, but my barrel is always full

It comes without a drainage hole,but there is a place to drill one.It only takes a minute with a hole boring bit. I have a set of three of them now in different sizes. I like them very much.

There are overflow outlets at the top of the barrel that will drain the excess. These are probably closed over when you get them so you can just punch or drill a drain hole the size that you want

I would have to say no. It has a foam handle. There does not appear to be any type of drain holes.

No drain holes. If installed indoors you don't want any spilled liquid to run out onto floor, if outside you could easily drill holes.

There is a spigot about 3/4 the way down the barrel and the hose you see in the picture comes from the under side with a cutoff switch on the end of the hose so the barrel can empty out. It is quite handy.

Not unless you have a way to catch the rain and funnel it into the barrel. The top opening is not large enough to catch/funnel rain into the barrel on its own.

Not really - My barrel is about 8" above the ground and when the barrel is partially full, or even full, the pressure is adequate to fill watering cans or water nearby plants but not to actually "spray" very far as you would with an outdoor faucet. This unit works great for its intended purpose - to water our plants with "free" untreated water.

Yes, there is a drain hole in the center of the bottom shelf. Also there are places for water to drain off in the corners of the top shelf.

The top of the barrel has a bug screen. I clean it out every few months (but it will depend on what is coming down the downspout). I don't have anything planted in the top, so I drilled a couple drain holes. I have worried about the overflow pipe, since theoretically a mosquito could fly in there, but mine feeds right into a drainpipe. Works Great!

Yes, it has a drain and a good seal on the lid. It has worked well for us and seems well built.
