Rain Barrel Workshop | Slavic Village

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 March 18!

• 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.

Workshop is hosted by Slavic Village Development Corporation.
