I was talking with the guy who makes the rain barrels about the design/location of the spigot at the bottom of the barrels....
He's been using a spigot that turns 90° and points down and placing it about 7 inches up off the bottom. His reasoning was so that you could get a small pail under it or easily hook up a garden hose. BUT in doing so, you can't get the bottom 7 inches of water out of the barrel (unless you tilt it).
How would everyone feel about a spigot that comes straight out and doesn't have any angle in it? That way it could be closer to the bottom and still allow a hose to be attached?
I don't know exactly what everyone's setup or placement is going to be on these barrels but yet I want to have him make them so they're as usable and perfect as they can be.
I'd like to agree on ONE design idea so it makes things easier on him.
Please let me know. He's working on getting more inventory of barrels right now (he had 20 ready to pick up from prior orders) so there's a little time to figure out the location and design of the spigot.
