I realize the barrel is white to match the house, but it's gonna be looking green before long.

there's a lot of places that rain barrels are illegal, because the government is super neat

That barrel will weigh over 400 lb when full so be careful.

Shingle material will go through the diverter into the water. Any solution for that?

I had 5 of these lined up connected via siphon, then an old pool pump. It ran our backyard sprinkler system. People wondered how we kept green grass during California drought :)

the valve needs to be high enough on the barrel to attach a hose.

I prefer an open top with a lid so the watering can is filled by dipping it under the water, much quicker

Set up the same system. He didn’t explain that if the barrel fills up the water would fill the tube and start to flow back down the downspout. To do that diverter can’t be too high.
