Know before you buy
Yes, you can easily remove individual cups or links to shorten the chain to your desired length. Any extra sections can be detached using basic pliers.
Yes, the 13 large cups are specifically designed to channel water flow efficiently. While they handle most standard rainfall well, keep in mind that some splashing is normal during heavy downpours.
The powder-coated aluminum is highly durable and designed to withstand outdoor elements. It resists rust and fading, making it a long-lasting choice for exterior use.
The chain comes with a gutter installation clip that secures it to your existing gutter outlet. No specialized tools are required, though you may need to trim the chain to fit your specific roof height.
While not strictly required, anchoring the bottom of the chain to a basin, decorative stone, or the ground is recommended. This prevents the chain from swaying excessively during windy conditions.
