Know before you buy
Yes, you can easily connect multiple chains together to achieve the desired length for your home's specific roof height.
While the chain is crafted from durable aluminum with a powder-coated finish, it is not explicitly rust-proof. We recommend monitoring it for wear if you live in a coastal area or a region with high salt exposure.
No, the rain chain is designed for simple installation. It comes with an included gutter clip that allows you to attach it directly to your existing gutter system without complex hardware.
The 3.25-inch wide cups are designed to efficiently channel water downward. During very heavy downpours, some splashing is normal, which is typical for most open-cup rain chain styles.
This 8.5-foot chain is primarily designed for single-story homes. If you have a two-story home, you will likely need to purchase an additional unit to extend the chain to reach the ground.
