Why you need to build stacked rain barrels 👇 C Why you need to build stacked rain barrels 👇 Collecting rainwater is one of the many sustainable home improvements we've made. It's so beneficial, and an easy DIY project! 💦 It allows us to collect and store water to use as irrigation for our garden and raised beds. 💦 Stacking and chaining multiple barrels together means more capacity in less space. 💦 It slows down stormwater runoff, which can help reduce flooding and overburdened city stormwater systems. The best part is that it's basically FREE water for you to use! If you're looking for your next outdoor DIY project, I highly recommend a stacked rain barrel system!
