Shingles, they keep the rain and snow out of my house they should do the same for my sap pails. Thanks.

So now for another question ???

So my idea this year is to connect multi trees together with 5 16 eco taps and 5 16 tees with5 16 tubbing and run them to number of pails set in one spot. What is the max number of taps that should be connected together if all are connected with 5 16 tubbing and then gravity dropping into buckets??
