I have been saying i will get a rain barrel for a while now and finally did.
One of the nearby townships advertised them in our local paper and i checked them out this morning.
Total final cost 60.00 for me everything included 4 screws for pre drilled lid, clamp, runoff hose, and spigot with washer and hole also pre drilled, the screen top is removable in case i need to replace screen material. I already had some cinder blocks and the expandable gutter extension. Total installation time was about 15 minutes.
Now all i need is rain and i can give my fig plants some good water, i used to collect the rain water amongst the rocks in my yard for fig plants but this will be much easier for me.
Its my intention to get another one for fig plants and veggie garden
as well.
Here is what it looks like.
Edit: its advertised as a 60 gallon system
