What customers say
Customers overwhelmingly praise this rain chain anchor for its superior quality and aesthetic integration.

Know before you buy
The anchor uses a 12-inch powder-coated steel stake that twists into the ground to create a fixed base. By attaching the included 17-inch copper chain to the bottom of your rain chain, you create a tension point that keeps the chain taut and prevents it from blowing around in high winds.
Yes, it is designed for universal compatibility. Whether you have a link-style chain or a cup-style rain chain, the included copper chain can be easily attached to the bottom link or cup to secure it.
No tools are required. The steel stake features a spiral design that allows you to simply twist it into the soil by hand until it is firmly seated.
The steel stake is finished with a durable black powder coating to resist corrosion, and the copper chain is made of pure copper, which will naturally develop a beautiful patina over time when exposed to the elements.
While the spiral design is effective in most garden beds and standard soil, it may be difficult to install in extremely rocky ground or heavy clay. If your soil is very hard, you may need to dampen the area first to make the installation easier.
