Unfortunately the RainSaucers Company doesn’t seem to exist anymore.
I do not have a substitute product available at this time. I have a few Ideas but have not had the time or resources to work on them. Some DIY Ideas include getting Canopy fittings and the pipe to build a flat canopy a little smaller than your tarp. Put the barrel below the center of the tarp with a screen tied over it and cut a hole in the center of the tarp.
I could sell heavy duty liners with grommets around the edge to be used on a pipe frame for rain water collection. If this sort of set up interests you, please share what size would be of most interest. (liners come is 6 or 12 foot widths.)

For confirmation, what is the height of the rain saucer and the volume when in cone form? How much water does the cone hold if filled? Thanks!
The cone is not going to hold water, it is not sealed. The Saucer is also not sturdy enough to support being full of water, that would collapse it if you were to seal it up.
However, if it is just a theoretical question, when in cone form it is about 46 inches across and 6 1/2 inches high.
When is the next generation coming out? I will need these soon, and hoping you can get a suppy in quickly. Can you give me a rough time line? I’d like to use these with a Water HOG, and rain barrels.
Thanks!
I’m hoping to get some to check out here in the next several weeks and I’ll definitely post when I have them available.
What is going to be different in the next generation saucer?
Funny you should ask, I just got a message from the makers of the product.
The next generation will be HDPE plastic with some UV protection so that it will last longer out in the sun. I will hopefully have some to test out shortly.
Is there telephone number where I can reach you? I’m interested in the latest version – I believe it’s 59 inches. If you have them, I would be interested in purchasing two. Can I purchase these using a credit card? I’m in Boca Raton.
Best,
Steve
Hello Steve, I tried e-mailing you with info on the Rain Saucers but I haven’t heard back from you. Phone service here at the farm is pretty spotty and I can’t take credit cards over the phone anyway. I only take credit cards through paypal at this time.
I have not gotten to test out the new RainSaucers yet myself so I can’t really comment on them for use here in FL yet. I don’t have any in stock at this time but if you really want them, please contact me and I’ll see what I can do to make arrangements to have some shipped direct from the manufacturer to you.
I want to order a Rainsaucer. Please contact me when the product is available.
I tried to e-mail you Heidi but it came back as undeliverable?
Where are you located? I might be able to order the new product now, I’ll have to check. If I know where you are located it would help be know if I have to get the product shipped to me and then re-ship it or if I could simply have the manufacturer ship it directly to you.

Please contact me i would like to purchase rainsaucer and barrel
unfortunately I do not have any barrels on hand to sell, those are normally best gotten locally since the shipping on them is outrageous.
Are you still producing these?
Sorry, I haven’t been selling the Rain Saucers lately. I never did produce them, they are made by Rain Saucers so you may still be able to search and find them elsewhere.
Want info on buying a large rain saucer
Sorry, I don’t have any rain saucers available anymore.
I respectfully request I purchase this product
Very Respectfully,
Lincoln
I’m sorry, I don’t carry these anymore.
I would like to buy two rain saucers, 59″.
I’m sorry Judy, but I don’t have any rainsaucers available anymore. It seems the company isn’t in business anymore.
I’m interested in the smaller rain saucer
I’m sorry but I no longer have these available
The product is no longer available but do you have suggestions on another producer of materials for diy
I’m sorry I do not have another producer for these. As to Ideas/materials for DIY. I don’t really have any plans or specific materials to recommend (other than perhaps liner like is used for aquaponic systems.) I think perhaps this is something I need to do but have not really had time for the R&D to come up with some sort of kit. For a quick method you can use with probably locally available parts. Get the parts you might use to create a tarp canopy. Use a HDPE tarp attached to a frame but make the frame small enough that the tarp sags down in the middle. Cut hole in the tarp at the bottom where it sags and place your container under it, Perhaps secure some window screen over the top of your container to help keep leaves and debris out.
I would have preffered to suppor Rainsaucers as well, but as they are not available, here are some alternatives that could be propped up for DIYers: 3.33 GPM Flow Rate water catcher with drain:
