I've got several sets of barrels

The barrels are set up in pairs, one set on each side of the house, one set at the greenhouse. All sets are on wooden stands.

Each pair of barrels are connected to each other by bulkhead fittings and hose.

Each set of barrels at the house are connected by a hose. One barrel in each set has a tap with a Y.

This set of barrels is the first ones we put together. This picture shows how the barrels are connected to each other (clear hose) the black hose connected to the Y tap goes around the back of the house to the other set of barrels. The toggle on the tap allows me to fill a container of water, or connect another hose and water.
