Need help designing a bucket with drain to test if gutters would be effective on my house.

Im looking to design something that will catch water from two valleys off my room during heavy rain and divert the water away into the yard. I’m picturing a bucket with a 10-20’ hose coming off it near the bottom. Initially I was picturing one of those blue 55 gallon drums cut in half (to make two shallow drums) and some corrugated hose attached but I’m wondering if that’s overkill, and how exactly I would make it water tight at the fitting. Any other suggestions for this project that might be more simple or cost effective? submitted by /u/sonofabunch [link] [comments]
