How to Make a Rain Barrel

You can collect rain water runoff from your roof in a rain barrel to use for outdoor watering. You can purchase a rain barrel kit or complete system from an online vendor, but making a rain barrel is an easy do-it-yourself project.

If you can not find an barrel to use as your rain water collection container, you can use a sturdy trash can. Directions for making a rain barrel out of a trash can are included through this link.
