Building a rain water harvesting system normally takes a complicated range of fittings brackets screws and masonry anchors.
But very often the same objective can be achieved using only 75 mm diameter PVC down pipe and elbow fittings.

At first I wasn't going to continue to watch then realized that's exactly what I need for my off grid cabin, my problem was I had to come up with a idea that would catch water
in the summer in Montana for my showers that I could easily remove when I left. The heavy snows would wipe out any rain gutter. Thanks so much.
That’s really simple, easy to do especially if you have old pipe, and absolutely ideal for chickens where you might not have a water pipe. Genius idea fella, and it’s thanks to people like you putting these ideas out there that, slowly, some of us are beginning to make a difference.
Nice gutter mod. From years of experience in the rainwater harvesting industry, a basic calculation of 1mm of rainfall per 1m2 of roof area ~ 1L of water harvested.
Coop roof catchment ~ 3m2
Average annual rainfall~ 650mm
Potential rainwater harvested ~ 1960L
Drum holds 200 L so it could fill this almost 10 times per year. If your chickens consume 6L total per day ~ 2160L pa then you are pretty close. Put a lid on drum to minimize evaporation and mosquitoes. Make sure gutter has fall to drum or it could stagnate. Consider adding on extra drum 👍🏻
Got a shed shop with a diy urinal in the corner. Tired of having to refill the 2 gal flush tank all the time. Sheds got a 20 foot metal roof and I have an old 50 gal barrel. Thanks for sharing. This is just what I needed.
cool
That's really clever, I was looking at a cheap solution without having to buy all of the spouting, and I think this might work for my woodshed.
you have inspired me! Tomorrow I'm going to look at our woodshed with the same type of roof! Thank you!
Clever very clever idea. I will myself use a thicker pvc pipe to last longer with the weather. Wonderful video
This is exactly what I was looking for. I am definitely using this for our small deck, great job!
Marvellous. Just what I was looking for to attach a gutter to the corrugated roof of the horses’ field shelter!
Great build! I’m a bit concerned about the old oil drum though. Even after a thorough cleaning there is still chemical residues. The rain catching system is a great idea!!
Great info
I needed to see this. Only problem is my tin doesn't hang past my facial board on my house. So ill need to do something a little diff..
Thanks alot!😇😁
The information on your project was very useful.
I am retired, so I going to try it on the edge of my awning where the gutters have rusted.
Thank you.
please keep us posted
Simple, Cheap, effective. Well done.
Thanks a mill, I am putting a lean-to at the side of my house with corrugated perspex and I am going to try this! 👍
BRILLIANT! Exactly what I was looking for, thank you so much.
Nice simple solution, thanks for sharing.😀 I might use this instead of a rain diverter on my metal building where the water empties in one spot.
excellent
Nifty idea! Thanks!
The amount of rainwater one can harvest is proportional to the *footprint* that the roof covers, not by the total area of the roofing material.
that is absolutely correct Scott!
Great 👍🏼 thanks for sharing, just what I was looking for.....
I see no reason why I couldn't do this to my garage.
Thanks
Poor man's leaf guard gutter style. Might consider this.
the steeper the pitch of the roof the better it works as a leaf guard
Thanks! going to try this on my little shed house thats roofed with corrugated plastic
Please let us know how it goes : )
THANK YOU !!! I never thought of that.
thanks for sharing - will do this on our coop!
please tell us here how it worked out for you.
Excellent idea
It solved my problem. Thanks for the video.
What an awesome idea!
So excited to do this tomorrow!, Thank you so much.
I would have liked to see how it works when it rains or just put a hose on the top to see it in action. It looks like a lot of the water won't go into the pipe. I'll do a test myself because this is a really great and simple Idea. I spent like six hours cutting up one of those tubes in half and putting it on one side of my coop. But if your idea works, heck, I'll take that off and redo the whole thing! Thank you!!
I don't doubt it'll go into the pipe. That's the purpose of the channels on the roof. Valleys for water.
I'm a little more on the side of efficacy.
I live in the rainiest town in the US and even a small system like that is likely to overflow and waste a lot.
Still going to try it though!
I love your surroundings
I am a very lucky man
INDEED :)
excellent idea!
Great! Simple and cheap.
Brilliant!!👏👏👏
Great idea... thanx .. can use this!
Thanks Sir, you help me by sharing the wonderful idea.....
brilliant!
If the PVC was longer won't that thing fall off? Weight of the water dragging it down
How about if we having little bit heavy rain ?
Nice, I'll use this solution for my cat house I'm building
please post a video and tell us how it works out
Very much well done.
Wow amazing ideas, tnx for sharing mr...
Is there enough of angle to cause the water to travel through the pipe to the drum? I do think this is a clever idea!
thank you
Creative idea! In my region, having rafters in intermittent contact with water is a recipe for rot. I wonder if there is a way to mitigate that to enable long-term use of the coop-hutch.
Excellent!
Curious if you have any ideas on how to install gutters on a standing carport that has metal sides all the way down to the ground on both sides? The carport is closed in on three sides, the back wall and both sides walls go all the way to the ground. I would like to install a rain catchment system on it but am unsure of how to go about putting gutters up. The gutters would have to be on the two side walls due to the slant of roof (A frame stylish,just not as pronounced ) but there is no lip to attach them to. Any ideas would be lovely
🧤 tafadhali. Thanks 👍
Perfect
It helped me :) thank you sharing ;) believe n freedom :)
Brilliant.

Nice tuxedo cat
Very helpful video! If one were to spray paint the outside to look like copper, do you think the paint would flake off when the tube flexes?
Prime the pipe first and you should have no issues
Will just stay on with snow or do you need extra support
To be honest we have no snow here, so I wouldn’t know.
How do i amend the edges of the roof to accommodate the pipe? It is a factory installed metal roof that each end is capped? I can send a picture?
Have you had problems with water freezing in the pipe?
@@JayEss73 thankfully we have no freezing here. Out climate is mild
Thx
Cheers
This is great but I need to work out how to make gutters off a greenhouse that doesn’t have anything hanging over the edge. It’s just a roof where water runs off and down the walls.
make a drip edge out of thin aluminum flashing folded to an angle and glue it to the wall under the roof edge with silicone. mount gutters underneath that.
@@marzsit9833 thank you 👍
Nice! In the US what are the specs this pipe?
I wish I could help with the answer to this - perhaps one of our US based subscribers may be able to come in here.
I really like the guttering solution. But the water butt set up is all wrong. The outlet pipe or tap should be positioned nearer the base of the water butt. Why because once the water level falls below the outlet pipe as in this case, placed near the top of the butt the water in the tank is trapped and has no outlet to flow out of.
Carol - thanks for that - but what I did not show you was that there is of course an outlet at the bottom (and one at the top as an overflow)
If the building is level, how do you achieve the correct amount of fall to direct the water in one direction or the other?
Gary, what I have done is to simply block the one end of the pipe - so it can only come out one side. For longer runs I am sure the eaves would need to be set out at falls.
@@TimHewitt-Coleman Thanks.
6:11 and whatsee doin' on the wrong side of the stairs causin problems kitty!
What kind of pipe are you say darn pipe?
I say "down pipe" - It is an 80mm diameter PVC downpipe (UV stabilized of course)
Could this work on roof tiles?
I have not yet seen it done on roof tiles - perhaps others can show us their experiments
Instead of 1 cut ,take 2 a half an inch apart making it easier to put on a thicker tile roof.
I knew someone would have thought of it. May I replicate this? Always be nice and ask. Please send blueprints and a minion in the mail to me.
Please replicate it and be so kind as to share your results with us here (I would send the minion but he is busy drawing the blue prints right now🤣🤣🤣🤣)
@@TimHewitt-Coleman Thank you for the idea and the great sense of humor.
"Kiloliters...."
1000 litres
Too much water.🤣
