The Stepbystep guide to build the ultimate rain barrel !
I go over all the materials, tools, location, setup and assembly to show you exactly what you need to do to turn a food grade drum into the best DIY rain barrel.
I found this barrel and all my other barrels on facebook market place for $20. You can easily complete this setup for less than $40 and have access to 55gallons worth of rain water.

One thing not mentioned in the video is covering your rain barrel. This will increase its life from sun exposure and keep the algae down for cleaner water. Hope you enjoy this build!
