When hooked up to a gutter downspout, the Rainwater Pillow can store up to 1,000 gallons of roof runoff in its rubberized cloth bladder. Just 10—feet square by 2½ feet high, it fits neatly under crawlspaces, where you can tap it to water gardens and lawns during summer dry spell. When emptied at the end of the season, it collapses into a small package for easy storage.
