Hello everyone,
we have bought a prefabricated garage (32 sqm) and I am now wondering if the rainwater collection via barrel is sufficient for autumn days?
Generally, the water infiltrates quite well and even during heavy rain it only stays in the holes (construction area), but not in our garden. (Region Darmstadt)
What would be the most sensible way to catch the overflow from the rain barrel now?
Connection to the sewer?
Soakaway?
Simply bury a drainage hose in the garden?
I think a direct connection to the sewer would be a bit exaggerated, but certainly the safest solution.
I have also heard the solution to simply place the barrel on a gravel bed (1 m³).
Best regards and many thanks for your advice,
Rainereiner
P.S.: does anyone know what the connection to the sewer might cost? approx. 10 m
