Abstract

An apparatus for collecting, filtering and distribution rainwater from the canopy of a polytunnel 1 or tent etc to a water container. The apparatus comprises an arc shaped container 2, 3 for catching rainwater as it slides down the surface of a polytunnel. The water is removed from the container via ducts 4 in the base thereof. The top of the container is provided with a mesh layer 5 which filters the water as it enters the container. The device is made partially from fabric.
