What ideas & options are there for harvesting as much rainwater as
possible off from a barn roof. Each side of the roof is approx 2000
sq feet so I'm thinking a traditional steel 4-6" gutter will actually
overflow pretty easily in a downpour & a lot of the water will go to
waste. Needs to be lightweight, easy to clean out & most of all super
affordable. I'm all ears.
