As with the spigot, use tape and washers to lock and seal it in place. Attach a hose to the valve and direct the hose to run into a ditch or other proper drainage near your house. This will keep your yard from flooding when water starts spewing out of your barrel. You can also run the hose into a second rain barrel. This way when the first fills up, the water just flows into the next one. But eventually you will need to have a barrel that drains properly. A downspout diverter attaches to the downspout and the rain barrel. Once the rain barrel is full, water continues down the downspout, eliminating any chance of overflow.

One-sentence summary -- Drill a hole in the side toward the top of the barrel. Screw in and secure your valve. Create an overflow system to prevent flooding. Alternatively you can simply use a diverter.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Stand about a foot away from the pole while facing it. Hold onto the pole with your dominant hand. Bring up the leg on the same side of your body as the hand that is holding the pole. Then, bring your leg up to the pole as you wrap your other hand around it. Flex your foot and place it on one side of the pole, with your knee on the other side. You'll need to use this leg to really anchor yourself to the pole, and create a sturdy base for your other foot to land on. Now, pull your body up with your hands. Swing your free leg around, and hook the back of the foot behind the first foot. Place the knee of the leg on the pole, so you have a firm grip on the pole with both of your knees. Your legs will now create a platform for you to use as you climb the pole. Move your hands about 1 foot (0.3m) up the pole to give yourself room to straighten out. Then, pull your knees up. Use your abdominal muscles to pull up your knees about one to two feet. After you bend your knees, lean back a bit and then squeeze the pole with your leg muscles. Use your leg strength to straighten your body as your hands move up the pole. Repeat these steps a few more times until you've reached the top of your pole or the end of your comfort level. This move will help you climb the pole while getting a great workout. Plus, you will look sexy in the process. You can slide down using the basic fireman slide, which means just holding onto the pole with your arms and legs as you slide. Or, you can hold on to the pole with your hands and release your legs just for a moment. Bring them out in front of you and rock your hips as you move your legs down to the ground.
