O Hai!
Does anyone have any experience with rain barrels? I'd like to get one, as we are about to have our rainy season and it would be great to use the roof run-off for my garden, or for emergency drinking water (after extensive filtering). I'm looking online and seeing a lot of styles and options. Anyone used one? What features, like additional spouts, links to second barrel, construction material, etc, are worth the additional costs? Thanks!

We have two large plastic ones sitting on a concrete platform (which isn't water sealed and should have been - full tanks are heavy and water erodes cement). Great for watering plants and car washing, and also emergency toilet-tank-filling.
I have no real info to share as I wasn't around when they were installed, but they are great to have.

Back in the olden days a simple oak barrel would suffice but I gather things have become more complicated.
