Rain Chains

Tired of boring downspouts detracting from your home’s curb appeal? Look no further than rain chains! These decorative alternatives to traditional downspouts offer a stylish way to channel rainwater while adding a unique touch to your exterior.

What are Rain Chains?

Rain chains are functional works of art that gracefully guide rainwater from your gutter system to the ground. Traditionally made of metal, they come in various designs, ranging from simple cups and links to intricate animal shapes and geometric patterns.

Benefits of Rain Chains:

• Aesthetics: Rain chains add a touch of elegance and personality to your home’s exterior, transforming a utilitarian element into a decorative focal point.
• Sound: The gentle trickling of rainwater down the chain creates a soothing sound, especially during downpours.
• Water Management: Rain chains can help disperse rainwater away from your foundation, potentially reducing the risk of basement flooding.
• Environmentally Friendly: By directing water away from your foundation, rain chains can help conserve water by allowing it to soak back into the ground, benefiting your landscaping.
• Bird Watching: The visual appeal of rain chains can attract birds, adding a touch of nature to your outdoor space.

Choosing the Right Rain Chain:

• Material: Rain chains are typically made of copper, aluminum, stainless steel, or cast iron. Consider factors like durability, weather resistance, and the overall aesthetic you desire.
• Length: Ensure the rain chain reaches close enough to the ground to effectively channel water away from your foundation, typically reaching just above any landscaping below.
• Design: Choose a design that complements your home’s architectural style. Consider the size and scale of the rain chain in relation to your gutters.
• Capacity: Match the rain chain’s capacity to your average rainfall. Areas with heavier rainfall might necessitate a wider chain for efficient drainage.
