1 walk around your house during the next rain and observe the water.
Rain barrel but no gutter.
They are short sections of aluminum usually only several feet long that are fitted underneath the shingles of the roof to form a metal wall that diverts the rainwater away.
Many people want to save rain water but do not have a gutter system.
These diverters are not gutters.
Use a hose clamp to secure the hose to the overflow spout.
Insert the other end of the hole in the gutter.
I was wondering if a rainbarrel would really catch enough rain if you didn t use gutters.
The barrel would have to be open top and you d have to put it in a place where the downpour was greatest off the roof.
Most homes direct water into the barrel with gutters and downspouts but even homes without gutters can use a rain barrel.
You could instead attach the hose to a second rain barrel for a daisy chain of rain barrels.
