Build your own rain barrel in under 5 minutes! Free shipping!

We at Rain Brothers, LLC have been designing, constructing, and installing rainwater harvesting systems -- both residential- and commercial-scale -- in the Ohio Region for over 15 years, and we have used virtually every rainwater downspout diverter on the market. With the diverters on the market, there are recurring problems, including:

1) Difficult installation
2) Insufficient inlet size into the barrel/tank
3) Insufficient overflow, causing diverter to back up drainage
4) Working only with the smallest downspouts (i.e., 2"x3")

Our DIY Rain Barrel Construction and Installation Kit addresses these issues and offers a thoughtful, high-quality, affordable solution.
For under $40, you get:

* Three hole saws for drilling/installing valves and downspout diverter (2-1/8", 1-1/2", 1-1/4)
* 3/4" ball valve for connection to irrigation hose
* 3/4" drain valve for quick draining of barrel, linking barrels, or adding a second valve
* Two threaded rubber seals for water-tight, easy installation of valve and drain plug
* 1-1/2" rubber seal for water-tight inlet into tank/barrel
* 31" of flexible hose to link barrel/tank to downspout diverter
* Rubber "Flexi-Fit" downspout diverter choose either Standard (2x3" downspouts), 3x4" Rectangular, or Round (3" or 4" round downspouts).
*A winterizing cap for quick and easy winterization of your downspout.

Flexi-Fit Downspout Diverter installs in three easy steps:

1) Drill hole in downspout (hole saw included in kit). For 2"x3" downspouts, drill hole in front of downspout. For 3"x4" downspouts, drill hole in the side of the downspout (3" side). Ensure hole is level with inlet on barrel.
2) Insert diverter and fasten diverter to downspout with included self-tap screws
3) Attach fill hose to diverter and into barrel, and start collecting rain!
