We have a 55 gallon drum setup to catch rainwater in the summer. It is disconnected right now for the winter. The City of Oklahoma City was running a program where they would order a few truckloads of them and we just showed up at a local recycling plant and picked ours up for not much money.
If came with a "kit" and instructions. I ended up cutting one of the downspouts on the gutter and I put a plastic "cup" that has a hole for a a hose and then the overflow goes on down the downspout. It is hard to explain but is a simple system except it does cut the downspout.
It filled up the barrel after the first rain. My wife could use it to water the plants in the back yard around our koi pond.
It will be real simple next spring to re-connect it to the downspout.
