    DIY kit: 140g Cedar

    Original price was: $109.99.Current price is: $89.99.
    This Woodward or Cedar Panel RainBench DIY Kit is for someone with basic DIY carpentry and plumbing skills.  Save cash on shipping so you can go on that vacation you deserve.  Buy lumber & hardware locally to support Hank down the road, (and for the cedar panel, show Home Depot a lil love)

    or better yet, use recycled construction waste and blow everyone's mind with how ridiculously environmentally conscious and brilliant you are.

    you could throw a flat 4'x 4' piece on top and make it into a rain dining patio table -  See? I told you their minds will be blown.

    Materials purchased separately: This will vary depending on the kit, but there is a detailed shopping list with estimated pricing (varies by region) included in each set of plans. The Cedar Panel will end up costing more because they are pre-made panels and, well, even though it is "free shipping" from homedepot.com, you are still paying more for shipping (they just include it in the price)...

    And hey, this is all made by one of your neighbors in the USA, so that's nice.

    Original price was: $219.99.Current price is: $198.98.
    One of our latest designs, a little longer bench that uses 2 standard Rain Bench liners to hold a massive 280 gallons. In one bench! Yes, that is correct. This one bench, when you buy the lumber locally according to the shopping list included-- (or better yet have your local handyman or carpenter do it!) Shown right: different materials, same 280 gal kit. Those plans coming soon! One bench can hold as much as 5 (FIVE) rain barrels. And look, and function, so much better.

    Rain Bench DIY kit: 300g cedar

    Original price was: $349.98.Current price is: $299.98.
    300 gallon Cedar Rain Bench DIY kit as seen on Tiny House Nation, liners, specialty fittings and detailed plans supplied by yours truly here at Second Rain. Why does this one cost more than the 280 gal DIY kit? It actually has 3 liners (up to 140 gallons each), can be built to hold 420 gallons at 32" tall, but the plans show how to build a more comfy cedar bench. Having a beautiful seat is the trade off for not filling them to capacity, that's all. Includes 3 liners, fittings, diverter, and plans with shopping list to buy local cedar and build your own.
