Rain Barrel Workshop with Friends of Impett Park

Collect rainwater for outdoor use and help reduce stormwater pollution in your community by building your own rain barrel.

A rain barrel captures and stores rainwater that would otherwise flow untreated into storm drains. You can use this collected water to nourish your lawn and garden, conserving resources and supporting a healthier environment.

This workshop includes a rain barrel system pickup along with a brief presentation and demonstration at the start of the workshop. 

You’ll receive a barrel and a complete kit with all the parts needed to assemble your system at home using just a drill and a screwdriver.

The $60 fee covers all materials, including a 60‑gallon barrel, drill bits, and a downspout diverter. If you’d like to create a two‑barrel setup, an additional barrel and linking kit are available for $40. Pre‑payment and workshop registration are required.

Please register by June 17!

• A detailed registration confirmation along with rain barrel assembly instructional video will be sent to you as the workshop date approaches.  
• Barrel dimensions are 2 feet wide by 3 feet tall.
• This system must be installed on a downspout. You will also need a way to elevate the barrel (concrete blocks work well), but these materials are not included in the price and will not be provided during the workshop.
