PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To suggest rainwater storage equipment which can effectively utilize space around a connection pipe for connecting adjacent tanks as space for storing rainwater, and which is made compact.SOLUTION: Rainwater storage equipment is rainwater storage equipment cable of storing rainwater flowing in a gutter and it includes: a plurality of water storage tanks 1; and a connection pipe 2 for connecting two adjacent water storage tanks 1. The water storage tank 1 has contact surfaces 5 made of its external surfaces, and communication holes 6 are formed on the contact surfaces 5. Then, the rainwater storage equipment is provided in such a manner that the connection pipe 2 is inserted in the communication holes 6 of the two adjacent water storage tanks 1, and one end side portion in an axial direction of the connection pipe 2 is accommodated in one of the water storage tanks 1, in a state where the contact surfaces 5 are being in contact with each other. Then, the rainwater storage equipment is provided in such a manner that, in the connected state, the remaining other end side portion in the axial direction of the connection pipe 2 is accommodated in the other water storage tank 1. 【課題】隣接するタンクを連結する連結管周りのスペースを、雨水を貯めるスペースとして有効に活用することができ、且つコンパクトにまとまった雨水貯水設備を提案する。【解決手段】本発明の雨水貯水設備は、樋を流れる雨水が貯められる雨水貯水設備であって、複数の貯水タンク１と、隣接する２つの貯水タンク１を連結する連結管２と、を備える。貯水タンク１は、その外表面からなる当接面５を有し、この当接面５に連通孔６が形成される。そして、この雨水貯水設備は、隣接する２つの貯水タンク１の連通孔６に連結管２が挿入され、当接面５同士が当接された状態で、一方の貯水タンク１内に連結管２の軸方向の一端側部分が収納されるように設けている。そして、この雨水貯水設備は、前記連結状態で、他方の貯水タンク１内に連結管２の軸方向の残りの他端側部分が収納されるように設けている。【選択図】図１
