- Heavy duty screening keeps even the smallest mosquitoes out, such as Adieus which are known to carry Zika Virus.
- Uniquely designed with plastic fittings that match the rate of expansion and contraction of barrel plastic from season to season to avoid leakage
- May be slight scratching or scuffs due to previous overseas transportation.
- Comes in 55 Gallon size and a variety of colors to blend with any landscaping scheme.
