Adaptable

After searching around on the web, I finally located a rain chain adapter that fit the needs of the newly installed rain chain on the garden shed.

Made/sold by Stanwood Rain Chain via Amazon, the adapter is made of copper and should match the faux patina of the chain I purchased earlier this year. Most importantly, its large 4 1/5" top diameter funnels down to a 1 1/8" opening at the bottom. 

As a result, it limits the amount of splashing that was occurring near the top of the chain, and directs most of the water down along the chain and remaining cups. 

I’m very happy with this solution. It looks good and works as promised.
