What are rain chains?
A rain chain is a decorative and functional alternative to a traditional gutter downspout. Designed to visibly guide rainwater down from your roof to the ground. Rain chains turn your downspout into a lovely and unique water feature.
They not only add a decorative touch to your home, but also add the pleasing sound of water trickling down softly or the soothing sound of water rushing by.
Known as kusari dol’ in Japan (where they originated), have been used for hundreds of years to collect water into large barrels for household water usage. They are also often used in temple designs, with craftsmen creating large, ornate chains that compliment the beauty of the temple. Rain chains help the Japanese practice the ancient art of Feng Shui while also conserving water.
Styles & Material
While these can be made from 100% copper or copper-plated materials; we recommended that you buy only 100% copper to prevent fading and rusting over time. Copper rain chains also develop a lovely patina over time, so if you dig the aged look, you're in luck.
Rains chains are available in a variety of styles so you can choose one that is perfect for your home.
While link designs are closest to the original form, many people prefer a cup design because they tend to splash less.
Cup rain chains are crafted to resemble flower petals, bells, birds, baskets, and many other artistic designs. Images can also be etched onto the cup to accent the shape. Link chains also come in a variety of shapes and sizes.
