700 gallons of rainwater in a simple catchment

I built a simple pallet rain shed that allows me to capture 700 gallons of rain water in IBC totes and use it to water our garden and livestock.

I got the IBC storage containers, cinderblock, and pallets for free, so the only thing I paid for was the structural lumber, the pipe fittings, and the metal roof and gutters.

I got the idea for this system from Shawn and Beth Dougherty of Sow's Ear Farm ( https://onecowrevolution.wordpress.com ). Their book, The Independent Farmstead, has a ton of helpful information on making inexpensive water systems for your homestead.
