I am using a large fiberglass sink & drain board (great for spraying multiple items and leaving them to drain/dry),
plus a sink on the right. It will have a large commercial style overhead kitchen hanging sprayer over the drain board area, plus standard kitchen sink faucet over the tub sink.

Gotcha. Thanks Keith.

Yes, still working on ideas for that. I'll put a water proof protective cover over the walls ...»
Excuse the mess - time for spring clean up, but you get the idea of the layout - tank on the left & outside utility
tub with running water, next to the potting bench.

Yes, that tank collects the rain water and a pump feeds pressure to two sinks and a spigot for ...»

I see you have leaf guards. Perhaps a smaller mesh or double mesh would help filtration,

Yes, didn't even think of that originally. Sunlight encourages algae growth and this does get ...»
I've added running water to my workshop, via a rainwater collection system.
Water from the workshop roof feeds into a large tank. On the backside of the tank there is an overflow pipe that runs to a drainage ditch. The outlet pipe seen on the bottom front, underground back beneath the tank & thru the wall into the workshop to a small water pump. The pump feeds three outlets: a spigot, to run a hose to my drill and tile saw (and outside hose watering as well), plus two sinks: one sink inside the shop (I'm replacing the faucets, so you won't see them in the

So far I'm only using a fine mesh fabric you buy at paint stores, it's used to filter paint. ...»
Here are the photos intended for the previous post discussing rain water collection systems.
My tank, along with a water pump, provides water pressure for an indoor sink, an outdoor sink, and a spigot for a hose to feed my water-fed tools (drill and tile saw). Absolutely LOVE it. Need to 1.) improve my filtering process(es) before water enters tank, and 2.) adding clorine to tank when water turn-over is slow to prevent algae growth.

Everyone should consider adding a rain water collection system.
I extended my workshop and added a large water tank to collect rain water. A small pump provides pressure for running water in the utility sink inside my workshop, plus a second utility sink outdoors behind the workshop by my wife's potting bench, plus a spigot inside the shop to run a hose/water to my wet tile saw and water-fed drill press. I'm showing the "public" side of the workshop also so you don't think I'm a total slob, plus the messy, but private, back side of the shop where the water tank and potting bench are located.
