Rain chains are a unique addition to a home’s rain gutter system. They function well and also add a pleasant waterfall sound as the rainwater travels downward from cup to cup or link to link, or in this case, rock to rock.
Most homeowners will place them near a window or landscaped area for a visual experience when it rains. Normally a downspout will drain rainwater from the roof’s gutters onto the concrete or lawn and the same can be done with a rain chain. The difference is the rain chain doesn’t have a tube and corners to flow through. It will not clog the gutters or drain system with leaves and debris. There are a number of different projects out there. This one is quite elaborate, but there are plenty of easier options out there you can explore….or purchase!
