Rain Barrel

This is my first water barrel project. It is underway and updates will follow.

I made sure that a board atop 3 columns of 2 cinder blocks each was level and situated the 55 gallon barrel on the stand. I left space on the stand for an overspill barrel that I hope to install tomorrow. The overspill valve on the existing barrel is a 3/4" fitting at the top. It can be used to direct water away from the home or in my case spill into an additional storage unit.
