How Do You Build A Rainwater Collection System?
• Cut a bucket to create the top of your rainwater tank. • The top of your rainwater collection system is made by cutting the top off a five gallon / 10 liter bucket. An important thing to keep in mind when putting together your rain collection system is that standing water can be a haven for mosquitoes. The top will be used to secure a paint strainer to the top of the bucket, thereby keeping large objects and mosquitoes from getting into the barrel and spoiling your water supply. • With your 7/8″/ 2.2cm spade bit already attached to your power drill, put a hole in the side of the five gallon bucket to get your jigsaw rolling and cutting easily. • Use your permanent marker and the top of the five gallon bucket and trace around the top of the 55 gallon / 210 liter drum. • Just like you cut the starter hole on the five gallon bucket, use your drill with the 7/8″ / 2.2cm spade bit and put a hole in the top of the 55 gallon / 210 liter drum. • Follow the guideline around the top of the bar
