Know before you buy
The rain chain includes a mounting attachment that sits securely in your gutter's downspout hole. Simply remove your existing downspout and hook the chain into place; no specialized tools are required.
Yes, the chain is fully adjustable. You can easily remove individual pine cone links to customize the length to fit your specific height requirements.
While the aluminum is durable and weather-resistant, it is not rust-proof. Over time, the material will develop a natural patina, which is a desired aesthetic effect that adds character to the piece as it ages.
The link design is intended to guide water flow gracefully, but it is best suited for light to moderate rainfall. During heavy storms, some splashing may occur, which is common with most open-link rain chains.
The aluminum construction provides enough weight to hang straight in light breezes. If you live in a particularly high-wind area, you may want to secure the bottom link to a decorative stone or a basin to prevent swaying.
