Heavy rains can also erode your home s foundation.
Rain barrel withouth gutters.
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.
You can even feed it into another trashcan or rain barrel and double triple quadruple whatever your storage.
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.
When it gets near the top the water will drain out of the tube and go where you direct it.
I was wondering if a rainbarrel would really catch enough rain if you didn t use gutters.
You can drill a 1 2 hold on the side at the top of the trashcan and gorilla glue some tubing in the hole.
You should be able to find a style of rain barrel that fits in with your overall landscaping plan.
Some barrels are even connected to underground pipes that automatically channel the water in certain areas.
