Know before you buy
No, the polished copper will naturally oxidize when exposed to the elements. Over time, it will develop a rich, matte brown or blue-green patina, which is a characteristic feature of pure copper.
Yes, the chain is adjustable. You can easily remove individual links to shorten the chain to fit your specific gutter height.
Installation is straightforward and designed for DIYers. The product includes a gutter clip that secures the chain to your existing gutter outlet without the need for specialized tools.
The large 2-inch by 2.5-inch links are designed to channel water efficiently, but they are an open-air system. During very heavy downpours, you may experience some splashing, which is typical for most rain chains.
Pure copper is highly resistant to rust and corrosion. While it will change color as it patinas, it will not degrade or rust like iron or steel, making it a durable choice for outdoor use.
This product is covered by an industry-exclusive Lifetime Warranty. If you experience any issues with the craftsmanship or durability of the chain, Good Directions will stand behind their product.
