Rain chain to drain

Some weeks back, we found ourselves using some downpipe outside the workshop elsewhere round the house.  In its place, we had the idea of trying out a rain chain and so rigged up some old chain just see how it worked.  We could see great potential but it in order to direct the water down the chain we used a plastic funnel so the overall appearance was less than ideal!  A 3 year old granddaughter also saw potential but only for swinging on and pulled it down!  We looked around for copper rain chains but found them prohibitively expensive until we found an American company with exceptionally helpful staff at www.RainChainSuperStore.com .  Well, to cut a very long story............we ordered from them and picked it up en route back from Alaska and Chris installed it just in time for the big break in the weather.  It works really well and we're very pleased with.  It's rather like a useful water feature that makes lovely tinkling sounds.  There is one drawback.........we need umbrellas to admire it in action!
