Brilliant idea! I love how you're using locally sourced wood. I've built things with it and it's absolutely uniquely beautiful and strong. Thanks for sharing
You just gave me the idea. I have wanted to catch rain water a long time now but always think I have to do things in a big way. Well I’m excited to do something similar to this.. Thanks for the demonstration and I have tree limbs everywhere and I might make a mini scale one with small soda bottles just because I have a lot of them. Haha!
@@ninasandifer5973 that's awesome! You never have to start big!! And so happy to have inspired you!! Let us know via our other social media DMs if you have any questions!! We'd be happy to help!
Only improvement/ suggestion is to get the actual barrel off the ground with blocks, rocks or something. I know if it’s in contact with the ground critters will tunnel under& create problems, but also every catchment system plans I’ve ever found hadsaid the container needs to be off the ground (without saying why). Otherwise, looks like a good starter system.
Basically a great job basically(!!!). Djpn remember - a boer maak altyd a plan! Showing your true colours - nice South African boytjie!! Think it is fantastic for your water collection and also for getting rid of landfill 🥰🥰🥰👏👏👏👏
This is something to be made when the apocalypse hits and all there is are scraps of materials to use. Instead of screws, fasten the wood by using thin strips of the plastic bottle tied around the joints, then heated to tighten up. Otherwise, with the grid still up, just get yourself $3 worth of plastic drop cloth for painting and you're done in minutes.

Great idea for a way to re-use\upcycle what woyld otherwise be trash and turn it into a practical & useful means of gathering "free" water! 👍🐻👍
@@HuxBear Thank you! We hope to find and make many other things from waste items!!
Your idea is ingenious! loved watching the water dropping down into the catchment area.
@@infiknit Thank you! We were so excited to see it the next morning!!

@@mguardian9798 once it is in a more permanent spot, it will be off the ground

Yes, but this works and I didn't have to buy anything extra for it that I didn't already have 😊
How much for the bucket
@@Calgary1Spar I didn't pay a dime! It was given to me!!
Could you just use a piece of tarp instead?
I'm sure we could, but we didn't have a 'spare' tarp as we are using what we have elsewhere.
Please make a safer non-PET or no-plastic version with non-porous stand that lasts longer than this version someday.
@@jessicag630 we will!
It's nice, but too much fancy work with cutting bottles, when you could just use any plain surface of foil, bag or any plastic really.
@@ms-ht1cj absolutely! Just decided to use what we had plenty of that would otherwise just be garbage.
