Rain-barrel volume planner
Gardeners matching barrel gallons to roof area. The decision this page isolates is narrow on purpose: translate roof square feet into a barrel class. Capacity, season, and packed size are the published facts that survive a weekend trip.
This page produces an explainable category or size so options can be compared without a product ranking. The calculator does not rank RTS Home Accents, Good Ideas, and Schuetz. It produces an explainable class so RTS 50-gallon barrel, Good Ideas 65-gallon, and 275-gallon IBC class can be compared as examples of that class.
The working method is: Convert the inputs into a published planning class using the method on this page, then compare official product pages that match that class. Planning notes are grounded in Osprey. This page does not quote a price or rank a brand.
