Thanks, Steve, but my garden is so small that if I put up a shed I'd
lose half my garden! Garage is in a separate block, not on my own
property.
I think I'm stuck!

No ! No ! There is a solution to every problem (almost ! )

Could you not ask one of your neighbours if you could fit a "rainsaver"
device in to their downspout and connect it via a hose to your barrel.
Assuming you get the height correct, the barrel will not overflow and there
would thus be no need for a drain or a soakaway on your property.
