Regular trough and downpipe is attached to a timber siderailRegular trough and down pipe is attached to timber side railsTrough is fixed along the length of the PolytunnelRain is collected in the troughThe heavens open and the water butt fills up with rain waterSimple robust fixing

This simple system can be secured to a timber side rail along with battens at approximately 1 metre off the ground.
First, fix guttering brackets to the timber side rail and secure the trough in place using screws & drill. A timber batten maybe required to close off any gap between the gutter and side rail. This will ensure rainwater runs directly into the gutter. Rainwater is then collected from the Polytunnel roof, and brought to a water butt by regular guttering and a down-pipe.
You should now have a Good strong, robust alternative for harvesting rainwater off your Polytunnel. The guttering collects the rain which falls onto the roof of your polytunnel then it is stored in a water butt until the rainwater is required for use.
