This rain barrel works very well and is quiet yet attractive when placed at any location.  Only problem is when trying to line up the rain barrel directly under a roof scupper.  The rain from the scupper won't drip directly into the square net on the barrel.  So, take out your drill and drill ~20 holes in the top center area of the rain barrel.  That way, water will drop from the scupper, and catch and collect in the basin.  It's very convenient to have received the metal faucets with the rain barrel.  They mount easily and each spicket mounts in 2 different convenient sockets.  Remember, to get water out, both spickets are gravity-fed so water doesn't rush out but flows slowly out of the rain barrel into another container.
