The only good thing I can say about this is it was pretty when we first hung it. But we soon discovered it was not at all practical as even the smallest amount of rain quickly filled the splash pan at the bottom with no way to direct the rain run-off. Then, instead of turning green as you would expect from copper, it merely turned a dull gray brown. And I would definitely not recommend it for a PA winter. The first time the water in it froze, it broke into pieces.
