Rain Barrel Project

Step 3Decide your setup.

Decide your setup.
Oh there are so many setup possibilities that at this point I can only direct you which way to go.
There are may sites out there and even government places that have instructions on how to create one. Most of them pose the same concept; a closed system covered in a netting to not allow mosquitoes in, and a outlet to let the collected water out.

One barrel system - This is one barrel put under a spout with some sort of collection with a screen to go into the barrel See Example Here

Multi barrel system which can lead to an ever growing system - this is the system I'll be showing.

Keep in mind I'm try to explain the general idea and stuff you can use, you can use my setup or feel free to modify / make your own for your needs. I'll be modifying my setup soon to hook up a couple of toilets and outside watering, so stay tuned for a revision!
