Q: Will this hold up in freezing temperatures?

My barrel just went through its first winter with average lows in the 20's. One night we had a hard freeze where the temperature dropped to -6 degrees overnight. Daytime the temperature would be above freezing in the 40's up to the 60's. All during this period my barrel remained at the least, half full. It survived the winter with water in it without any leaks or damage. That is my experience under my weather condition in Texas.

Q: so the screen lifts off so you could access inside in case there is debris or to clean?

you can clean the inside by rinse it but not completely able to access. Its because they have 3 non-detachable bars on top of barrel to support screen. I think it also severed as safety for any cats and dogs not easly fall into the barrel. this barrel is higher than most people's arm length so rinse it is properly the only way to clean it. with the screen on it, its hardly any debris going in. I am going to empty it and clean it once a year before the winter. Hope this helps. Overall, its good one and working well in my back yard.

Q: Can you also scoop out water from the top with a gallon bucket?

The axle-like crossbars are built into the main plastic of the barrel itself, so as another person noted, you cannot use a bucket to scoop water out unless you cut those out. Even then, it would have to be a small bucket. A five gallon one would not fit. The other problem for us is that we don't have gutter downspouts, so much of the incoming water will be deflected by this top structure. When they are only about half full, using the bottom hose will be quite slow. A friend gave these to us and we will probably have to cut them, but as was also mentioned, that might somewhat reduce the integrity of the structure.

Q: Is it possible to get a longer piece for connecting two barrels? The piece that came with it is a little too short.

Hello Margaret, The overflow and connector hose is 1.5" backwash hose for swimming pools. Contact your local swimming pool supply store. They may have the backwash hose on a big roll and can cut you whatever length you require.
