You can hardly expect helpful answers fi you're vague about what you've got and equally vague about what you want.

Have you forgotten the original question?

No

I have 2 or 3 nice long gutters which run from the back of the
bungalow to the front and then into the drainpipes.

I'd like to collect the rain water for watering the back and topping
up the small ponds.

I can't see how to do it and still have the "overflow" going into the
drainpipe. Is there an easy low cost way?

Seems clear enough to me.

It's thoroughly vague. Your guess could be right or wrong, who knows.


Chris seems to have a good handle on what I'm trying to do.

Straight gutter - drainpipe is at the front, I want to collect water
at the back.

I think I have enough good ideas from folk who have grasped this but
thanks for your interest.

I'm guessing

precisely. If the OP had made things clear they would have got there much quicker.

At the back of the house on the corner. Water going from there to the

ignores the butt and flows to the front as usual.

I'd also put some inflated plastic bags in the butt to cope with
freezing, and probably a 1/2" hose in the downpipe sealed at the ends
again to cope with freeze expansion.

Didn't the OP say that the gutters, as currently installed drain
towards the front? How will your watertight installation at the back
ever fill?

Having reread the OP I see the exact requirements are not made clear.

I noticed this rather creative guttering while walking past it the other
day.

I love that. I wish I had this in my collection of suggestions when I
was roofing. I'd like to see what was used in the boxing to carry water?

Looking at the steep pitch of the roof and the narrow gutter; it
seems heavy rain would take an alternative course? Does anyone else
see a slightly washed out paving along the front of the house?

Not convinced, its uniform across the front, not
just washed out where there is guttering above it.


Yes, I see your point.
