Build Your Own Rain Barrel

Saturday, May 31 @ 9:30 am - 11:30 am

Instructor: Perennial

Event Navigation

Join Urban Harvest STL and Perennial to learn how to harvest rainwater in your backyard and build a DIY rain barrel to take home.

Learn how to transform a food-safe 55-gallon drum into a DIY rain barrel for your garden. We will cover how to modify the barrel, create a base to elevate it, and how to connect the barrel to your gutters for rain water harvesting at home.

Space is limited as each participant will take a rain barrel home. You will be responsible for transporting the barrel. Additional hardware may be required to connect to your gutters at home or to winterize your barrel, but a basic setup will be provided.

For a gutter connection, this project will only work for rectangular gutters that are 2″ x 3″ or 3″ x 4″ (Please confirm your gutters are compatible ahead of registration). Come to class with pictures of your gutters, and the instructor will give advice on the best place to connect your rain barrel and how to alter your barrel specifically for it’s new home.

This event is hosted by and will take place at Urban Harvest STL. Registration is required, to sign-up please visit the link below.
