How to Design a Corten Steel Rainwater Collection Trough
A Corten steel rainwater collection trough is a practical and distinctive solution for capturing roof runoff for garden irrigation, landscape water features or other non-potable uses. With the right capacity, inlet, overflow and drainage details, it can reduce reliance on mains water while becoming a durable architectural feature in a garden, courtyard, hotel or commercial landscape.
A custom trough should be designed around the site’s roof catchment area, local rainfall, intended water use and safe overflow route. AHL can tailor the dimensions, inlet positions, drainage details and weathered finish to suit project requirements.
