Your rain chain functions just like a downspout and will drain anywhere a downspout would: a river, a basin, a rock, or whatever you choose.

Rain chains have been around for centuries in Japanese gardens. They are an attractive alternative to a downspout, which gently allows rainwater to fall from your roof gutter down a copper chain to the ground. See similar questions...

Rain chains can drain into a variety of receptacles - basins, bowls, saucers, pebbles, etc. They can pass through a hole in a deck, or just hover above whatever surface is beneath them. The chain's purpose is to break the fall of the water and direct it downward gently, minimizing erosion and splash. See similar questions...

Rain chains offer you a great deal. Not only are they beautiful, but they also offer personality to your home or patio.

Your gutter needs to have an opening at least 2.5 inches wide. Pull the top of the rain chain through the opening, and then thread the gutter clip (included) through the top link. The gutter clip will hold the rain chain in place. If you have an opening larger than 2.5 inches, you should use a funnel adapter for optimum performance of your rain chain. Upon request, we will supply this adapter at no charge. See similar questions...

If you live in a windy climate, we do recommend securing the end of the rain chain. The simplest way to do this is to order an addition 1.5 feet that can "pool" on the ground. Otherwise, you can anchor the end with some kind of pin or hook. Check with your local hardware store or contractor to get a recommendation. See similar questions...

This depends a little on where you live, how much rain you get and how acidic the rain is. Brass darkens with age, taking on rich bronzy/brown tones. Copper also darkens with age and tends to take on more of the familiar green patina effect. None of our chains are finished with lacquer, so they all undergo a natural aging process.

feet of copper link rain chain = 5 pounds, 10 feet of copper cup rain chain = 7 pounds. A normal gutter is designed to hold much more weight than this. Remember that each gallon of rainwater weighs 8 pounds, and your gutter, when full, will be supporting many gallons. See similar questions...

The length of your rain chain is a personal preference. Some people order a chain long enough to touch the ground, while others like to leave the end hanging a foot or two above the ground so they can see the water run off the rain chain. See similar questions...

Rain chains can be used without gutters, but they do depend upon a vertical water source to function most efficiently. If water is arching off the roof, the chain may or may not catch or transport all of the water in both light and heavy rainfall conditions. See similar questions...

If you live in a climate with lots of snow, ice and freezing temperatures, we recommend that you take your rain chain down before winter sets in. It's easy to take rain chain down: just remove the clip from the chain. In the spring, you can re-install it just as easily. See similar questions...

Usually, there are 2 types. One is a drainage system only that is removed after 24 to 36 hours. Another drain, which is called auto transfusion, collects the blood drainage for a specific time frame, and then the blood is delivered back to you. The type of drain used depends on the preference of your doctor and the amount of drainage expected. See similar questions...

A drain is a pipe, which conveys either foul water (sink / bath / toilet etc.) or surface water (rain) from one house only. The owner or occupier of a house is solely responsible for maintaining a drain, clearing blockages and repairing any faults. Even where the drain extends outside the boundary of the property (for example under the road or under a neighbour's garden) the owner or occupier of the house served by the drain is still responsible, right up to the main public sewer.
