How to add downpipes to rainwater tanks?

[Gayleis]

I can’t get someone to put gutter downpipes to my raintanks, or the taps and overflows, so I have to try and do them. (I’m at Curramulka Yorke Peninsula if anyone can do them!)

I googled how to do the taps but I’m scared I’ll muck it up. Advice would be appreciated!

I have old metal square downpipes. , 70x70.

 

 

I can’t find this size, so trying to learn how to change them.

There are 2 large tanks on a stone stand. They need to be joined by a pipe so water fills both and will have one downpipe to feed into the closest tank. It used to have a metal one, spanning 5m without support, from the house. Not sure poly can do that.

I also have a 5000L tank on a stand at the house, and a tank at the side on the house for the Orchard at ground level, 3m from the house. There is 2 gutter downpipe above another here. One used to go around the corner to the house tank. Wondering if I could join them together to go to Orchard tank.

 I’d like to add a flush pipe to them also. No clue what I’m doing. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I can’t even get someone out to do the estimate! 🤷‍♀️

I'm so sorry to hear that @Gayleis. Have you tried services such as Airtasker or hipages? They might provide some access to trades other than what you've found already.
