Next, we used 2" x 3" elbows we had laying around in a box, as well as a straight section of gutter tubing and a shelf bracket to divert the water to the barrel. The gutter is suspended from the bracket with mechanics wire, as it will be taken down at the end of the season. The entire pipe assembly is held together with self-tapping screws. I added a screen right before the final elbow to stop any leaves and debris. We took the lid I cut off of the barrel, and attached 2 pieces of pallet wood to the top to keep it from falling into the barrel. I made a funnel out of an empty water jug, and retained it with more wire and self tappers. It's not pretty...but it works...
