DIY rain barrel kits now in stock!

July 26, 2014


DSCN0124Now anyone can make a rain barrel out of a recycled plastic drum or trash barrel!  The EarthMinded DIY Rain Barrel kit takes the guesswork out of making your own rain barrel.   Rain barrels are a convenient way to save water and money and can be located at any downspout around the home, garage or out-building to catch and store rainwater for outdoor watering and washing chores.

The DIY Rain Barrel Diverter and Parts Kit features:

  • Works with recycled plastic drums and waste barrels (barrel not included)
  • Patented FlexiFit diverter helps prevent overflows
  • Diverter is easy to install and winterize
  • No special tools needed — hole saw included
  • Sealed system resists mosquitoes, pests and algae growth
  • Illustrated step-by-step instructions
  • $25 (including tax)

Our summer intern converted a garbage can to a rain barrel with the kit (you can see the results above) and said that it was incredibly easy and straightforward to use.  If you’d like to purchase a kit or take a look at our demo model, please stop by the Centre and we’d be happy to talk rainwater harvesting with you!
