Saving Water for Dry Days

We have 2 for the outside garden and 2 for the greenhouse. Collection is from the guarded gutter and each barrel is connected at the overflow area so when one is full it will overflow into the other. Works wonders and easy to hook up a garden hose and deliver “free water “ rather than using the town water.
Closed Rain Barrel Design
I have assembled some instructions for using a rain diverter with a rain barrel. This is a very reliable design that will not overflow your barrel and does not require a separate overflow.
