DIY kit: 65 gal
$84.98
Build your own Rain Bench® that holds 65 gallons of water, and 2 people.
(the water in, the people on)
The actual capacity of the liner that is included is up to 140 gallons, which means if you simply build a bigger box, it will expand to the size (maximum 32″L x 32″W x32″h) and hold a ton of water.
Ok, it will only hold 1,120 lbs, or a little over half ton of water if built to max capacity.
That’s a lot of water. (Tip: If you want to put one on your deck, make sure it was built to hold a hot tub. We recommend setting it on a level bed of permeable gravel instead)
The Original Rain Bench® DIY kit, this one allows you to take one sheet of plywood, a few sticks of lumber and turn it into a nice little bench that you can paint any color you like, store water in and sit down on.
Save Water, Just by Sitting There.
The RainBench® DIY Kit is a rainwater harvesting system for someone with basic carpentry skills. Save $ on shipping. You supply the lumber and labor to build a bench that acts like a rain barrel with 65 gallon capacity. Buy lumber & hardware locally (usually ~30-40)
Detailed instructions in this kit help you build a 36″L x 21″H x 28″W bench that holds 65 gallons of rainwater or greywater. (liner can be customized to hold up to 140 gallons)
PLEASE NOTE: The brass fitting (pictured above) and one of the others have been replaced with a more efficient direct garden hose adapter. Works the same.

To the right is what it will look like if you follow the included instructions (remember, lumber is not included in this kit, but a shopping list is for exactly what you can easily buy locally)
