You should be able to find a style of rain barrel that fits in with your overall landscaping plan.
Rain barrel withouth gutters.
The barrel would have to be open top and you d have to put it in a place where the downpour was greatest off the roof.
Some barrels are even connected to underground pipes that automatically channel the water in certain areas.
I was wondering if a rainbarrel would really catch enough rain if you didn t use gutters.
Neither roof nor gutters are needed and after it rains the water can be used for whatever gardening purpose you want.
Rain barrels which are especially useful for lawns and gardens during droughts or periods of water restrictions can be made of plastic ceramic wood stone or metal pick the type that matches your home s exterior style and meets your water saving needs.
Many householders set up rain barrels to catch the water as it drips from the roof reducing runoff and erosion while preserving water for garden.
Residential rain barrels range from small 15 gallon models to larger commercial and industrial models that hold up to 5 000 gallons.
You can even feed it into another trashcan or rain barrel and double triple quadruple whatever your storage.
