Home congenital baptize catchment System

This is my water catchment system I installed at house in Portland, Oregon. My roommates and I wanted to build a rainwater catchment system that could divert some of our rainwater into a catchment to use for the growing season and throughout the regular summer drought months in the Pacific Northwest. This system was moved away from the houses foundation and I added the top three barrels. I also moved the system from the side of the house to the backyard. The system is 7 barrels (55 gallons each) totaling 385 gallons. At 8 lbs a gallon, the system weighs just over 3000 lbs. Yikes! The amount of water you see filled up in this barrel in less than a week of rain. Obviously it is going to fill up all the way, so I made an overflow pipe that brings the excess water through the system and drains it in the dug out pit in the backyard. The drainage pit is not complete yet, it needs some more plants and a little landscaping, but functionally it works great to divert water from the storm drains. The base was a staircase from a rental property that was taken down. The wood was free and pressure treated. The pipes are all 1/2 inch pvc. If anyone wants more information or has any water catchment questions send me a message and I would be glad to share my knowledge.
