Amish rainwater collection


Mark, Rose Nell, Jayne, and I dropped by an Amish-affiliated produce auction last week...and of course I was more interested in Rainwater Collection on the nearby buildings than in the products for sale.


IBC tanks were very much the rain barrels of choice in the community. The builders didn't brace their tower nearly as much as we did ours though.


Gutters, on the other hand, looked to have serious longevity. I think those are stainless steel on heavy-duty hangers, then the downspout is clearly PVC.


Here's a long view from the other direction. I'll bet the residents put every drop of that water to good use.
