Glad you like it Sandy! Mine was a really cheap regular one I bought from a big box store for a very low price. I put it out over two years ago so it's been through some winters (out here that's below zero and snow, sometimes as much as -20 F!) and it's still going strong. Definitely worth the investment! I'll be adding another branch later this week or early next. It just makes life so much easier!
If you can, maybe post some pictures of yours? It'll be interesting to see how you do it with the rain barrel(s)!
