Question 1

How much water can a rain barrel hold, and how do I prevent it from overflowing?

Accepted Answer

Rain barrels come in various sizes, generally ranging from 50 to 100 gallons, allowing you to choose the perfect capacity for your needs. To prevent overflow, many models feature an overflow valve that directs excess water away from your foundation. We also carry barrels that can be linked together for even more water storage.

Question 3

Where should I start with rain harvesting, and what are my main options?

Accepted Answer

Welcome to the world of rain harvesting! Check out standard barrel rain barrels, known for their sturdy construction and ease of use. If space is a concern, a collapsible option might be the perfect fit, easily stored away when not in use.

Question 4

What's the best material for a rain barrel?

Accepted Answer

Most rain barrels are made of durable HDPE (high-density polyethylene) or resin which are UV-resistant and won't rust or rot, making them a long-lasting, budget-friendly choice. While wood barrels offer a classic look, they require more maintenance and can be more prone to leaks over time; however, they can be very aesthetically pleasing and have a unique look.
