FAQ:
How much rainwater can I collect from my roof?
Take the Square Foot (SF) and multiply that by .623. The SF is length times width. Formula would be Length x Width X .623 = Gallons of water. 250SF would be 25x10x.623=155.75gallon
Where should I place my rain barrels?
I would recommend put them close to where you will use the rain water, but make sure the water level is higher than where you will be watering or invest in a pump. We catch rain from about 500 SF of the roof from two of downspouts.
How much does 55 gallons of water weigh?
About 459 pounds plus the weigh of the barrel and cinder blocks so about 500 pounds per barrel.
What do you use for a stand?
We use 8x8x16 cinder blocks and four to each rain barrel.
How does the diverter work?
See two videos below. There is an easy access door that allows you to clean out the diverter.
We recommend keeping the gutters and downspout clear of debris.

Custom-Built Rain Barrels
We started building rain barrels back in 2012 as a home project.
Now we custom build and install rain barrels for your home.
A lot has changed in the twelve years.
All the parts are replaceable - so if something breaks, we just replace the part.
I grew up on a farm, so I learned about hard work and doing your best.
