I don’t have downspouts on my house, but I have tubs on the rear corner valleys to collect water during the rain and then I empty those into a trashcan. I just got a couple of rubber trashcans that have locking lids to keep mosquitos out. Then I put spigot fittings on the bottom of the trashcans. They work great! And trashcans are a lot cheaper than $100 rain barrels.

@Janis – we haven’t really thought about painting them. We might look into that. We have blue ones, and we have some blue tied into our garden… so it might just be some stripes or something.

@deb – I knew you would come through. Saw your post, will be using it as a guide soon enough. Adding beer though.

@Jennah – We weighed out buying a “pretty one” but finally just pulled the trigger on these.

@daniel (food dryer home) – definitely hold out for the drunk bbq version. haha

@Shibaguyz – right to the point.

@Germi – It never rains here either… but that is why we are making one, to catch the rain in those once in a lifetime rains. We got mosquitoes covered… you just wait & see. And no – no backup dancers.

If it ever rained here, I would have a barrel
But what do you do about mosquitoes?
I really like the snazzy blue color – can’t wait for the video … do y’ all have back up dancers?
