Although it's not on the market yet, architect Carolyn Moss came up with a different design for rain storage. It's not shaped like a rain barrel. CISTA is designed to be shipped as several U-shaped sheet metal pieces, brackets, and a 100-gallon bladder. The brackets are bolted to a building, the metal sides mount on the brackets above each other to form an eight-foot-tall tank, and the bladder is supported inside. Because the pieces can be nested or folded for shipping, they take less space until installed.
It's designed to be installed a little above ground level, so a planter underneath can be used to cover the rain tank with climbing vines. It looks pretty, of course.
