Water butts.
They’re usually set up with a diverter pipe from a down pipe. Any reason why I can’t put the whole down pipe in? Catchment area is a flat roof approx 8m2.
I guess it will overflow?
It's amazing how quickly they fill up. You'll have an extra 8m2 worth of rain pissing over your patio very quickly.
8sqm x 50mm of rain (one day of heavy rainfall) = 400 litres = your water butt overflowing
