I made gutters on myplace out of pcv pipe i found in trash around town cut in half plastic weld together been up there since 85 never failed or rusted out

 

If you are in a built up area I do not recommend you use rainwater collection for drinking, too many pollutants.

If you have a galvanised metal roofing you can get some new poly sewer pipe & cut it length ways, open it up & slip it over the iron roofing. Do this from one end & simply push it on all the way.
If you have a tiled roof, & suggest using a tarp to catch & funnel the water into your water butt.

I dont like rain water for drinking anywhere flush toliet be all iuse it for too much crap in it even threw some filters i might water plants none i would eat tho

 

we use our water butts for watering the garden but in a SHTF situation where we might have to resort to drinking it, passing it through a water filter and boiling it first, but we are rural so only if other sources failed.
just put the butt under a protruding bit of a roof, it will drip into the butt, you'd be surprised how a water butt will fill up just after a good rain storm.

 

yes, we use the large blue plastic barrels(we get them free from industrial estates and farms) and use those as water butts, a nearly empty one will fill up to overflowing in a rain storm in North Devon. our normal weather is rain here!!
