    We recently installed 2 rain 55 gal barrels in our house. One on the deck one in the back. We painted them to match our siding. Last night's rain almost filled it up.

    Isn't that a lot of weight in one spot on the deck? Could that cause any damage?

    Michael said it's built to code :) . I say 50 gallon is not much to worry about and it's right on the support beam against the house. So far so good...
