What a Day it was! I opened the shop early, went out to set up my sidewalk sign and when I returned, people were already visiting the outdoor rain barrel display garden. Not to long after that did my helper (Dave) show up with a couple of barrel parts that needed to be assembled and banded. So even though I didnt get much done in the way of old orders, I did have some good conversations from people who were new to the concept of saving rain water for irrigation. Speaking of irrigation, I am proud to say that we now have a special timer that can be used along with our drip irrigation kits. As far as I know, there are no timers out there that will work at such low psi as this one. They almost all work between 10 to 150 psi. There is one that I know of that will work at 3 psi but your barrel would have to be at a height of about 7 feet and it costs $90. The one that we carry will go for around $40 and can be used with a rain sensor that will shut off the system when it starts to rain.This product is not up on our website yet but we do have a few in stock, if you want to check it out. We will have one set up in our display garden, shortly.
For 12 years we have been builders of wood clad, steel banded rain barrels and rain harvesting systems. We have a shop and outdoor rain barrel display yard, in the Kenton Neighborhood of N. Portland, Oregon.
