I guess it's just because it's free if I don't have to pump it.@Eddie_T:
I am intrigued. What do you want to collect the water for?
What part of the country (or world?) are you in?
If you get that much rain I wonder if you could find some alternative way to collect it rather than roof --> gutter --> downspout --> barrel.
I got a couple plastic drums to use as rain barrels. They look just like this:
![]()
Is there a non-destructive way to remove either end of this type of barrel so it can be re-attached later?
Why do you need to do this?
More info is needed
