Description:

Rain barrels are expensive and often times made of plastic. UV light degrades plastic and causes them to break down. Ferro-cement is a simple construction method that is durable and strong. People have made all sort of things out of it, even sailboats! It is a great material to build rain water catchment systems. Come join us while we build a rain catchment system for our garden. We’ll go over design, building a foundation, building the tank, sealing it and connecting it to your gutters.
